    Oh for fucks sake…

    Okay, let’s get this right out of the way, congrats on pointing out this article was him running for governor in Texas, the bluest of states.

    Texas, not a blue state.

    Governor, not a safe seat or any seat at all.

    Senate, not a safe blue seat.

    Now show me where Hogg is planning on running a progressive, anti-2A extremist in Texas or any other red states with a non-safe blue seat.

    ETA, just sad with the continuing to strawman instead of debating about the actual issue OP brought up.

      Beto was running against two WILDLY unpopular candidates, Ted Cruz and Greg Abbott. A candidate who refused to flap their gums about guns COULD have won EITHER of those races.
