Wendy Davis is back: Why?

One time, and likely still, gun nut (and other things) Wendy Davis is now running for Congress, 21st District. Click the tag for more about her 2014 guv run nuttery; no mention of pink tennis shoes this time. The district might be winnable, but as it's neither Fort Worth homeland nor really in her Austin legislative/legal lobbying home, Davis might face carpetbagger comments.

Hell, I wanted her to go away four and a half years ago, when she bombarded us with spam emails after her crushing loss to Abbott.

Here's why, to save you part of the click throughs:

Wendy went along with border crisis nuttery in 2014 — I hope to be held against her, given the current national political climate on immigration, by whoever else is in the Dem primary.

She went to the right of Rick Perry on pot.

She pandered to moderates and endorsed ConservaDems, in other nuttery.

Years ago, she sued the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, and over op-eds, not news stories.

And, this one's a biggie. Dems, or libruls of any stripe, who disrespect the First Amendment in ANY of its five clauses are pissing me off more and more by the day.

Finally?

In 2014, Davis lost to Greg Abbott FAR worse than Lupe Valdez did in 2018. Yeah, yeah, "Trump" or whatever, but? Abbott far outran other Republicans in 2018. It was 59.3-38.9 versus 55.8-42.5 in 2018.

Kuff said, in his piece about her entry, that 2014 was a bad year for Dems. I do know she lost worse than Alameel did to Cornyn, but Cornyn was an incumbent, and Abbott wasn't, at least not as gov. But, her pandering got her to do no better than Van de Putte did against Danny Goeb. Kuff, given VDP had some pandering of her own, maybe it was more a bad year OF than FOR Democrats.

Back to Wendy today.

The person on Twitter who I saw writing about this said her website (the second link from top, the "running") was basically content-free. Yep, it's a nothingburger.

Like the other Texas ConservaDem with inflated reputation who announced an office run Monday, Royce West, Davis talks about "healthcare costs" but the Groucho Marx secret phrase of "Medicare for All" or "single payer"? Missing.
