Bye, Lina Hidalgo

And, better luck telling the truth next time.

If you did indeed say in 2018 that you would only seek two terms in office as Harris County judge, per what you told the Trib, then why hadn't you formally bowed out long ago?

I'm sure she'll land some consultancy or lobbying job, but she's self-damaged goods in electoral politics. She cheesed off way too many people, even if many of them were ConservaDems like Kim Ogg who had cheesed off other Democrats themselves. 

As for who will replace her? On the Dem side, it's identitarian former Helltown mayor Annise Parker and a bunch of nobodies, it looks like. 

As for Parker, beyond the above? Her push for Houston to pass Chicago in population, and talking about that as mayor, ran into the climate-change world of Hurricane Harvey, and even non-hurricane weather systems. Unless some company forced you to, who would want to move to Helltown? It's LA with skeeters and more road construction, I've long said. She probably thinks an Ike Dike would solve everything, when not much could be further from the truth.
