HD-68 race has a true whackadoodle

Cooke County Republican Women had another candidate forum Feb. 1, and it was a doozy. The House District 68 race features a wingnut incumbent vs a wingnuts squared, wingnuts on steroids or whatever, challenger.

Challenger Kerri Kingsbery, on HD-68, is an idiot, pure and simple. All she could do was attack Dade Phelan for being too kind to Democrats, and then claim that incumbent David Spiller is a pawn of Democrats. I felt like I needed a shower after her drivel. And, I know that people believe this bullshit.

This is the David Spiller who is a lawyer, and as a lawyer, willingly rammed the unconstitutional special session SB-4 through the House.

This tied in with one of three candidate questions, based on SD-30 state Sen. Drew Springer's recent open letter to Lite Guv Danny Goeb, asking about the possibility of reopening the impeachment proceedings against Ken Paxton, discussed by me here.

Kingsbery didn't actually use the word “illegal,” though she did kind of beat around the bush on that, and did claim it was all partisan. Because Dade Phelan's Demo-love, of course.

INNNterestingly, whoever drafted the questions, which were NOT taken from the audience, did not ask about vouchers and Spiller's flip-flop on that.

Sidebar: One county commission race's candidates were also at the forum. Showing the anti-tax nuttery of the GOP, challenger Anderle said he opposed possible future bond issues “while we're raising the tax rate,” which the county is not.

Sidebar 2: WHY didn't the GOP Wimmin take questions from the floor? They did in 2020 and 2022. Are even county-level GOP organizational folks afraid of the wingnuttery level of the rank and file?
