I think he has a shot...very handsome and charismatic as well. Of course I am progressive so naturally I think what he wants is good, but the things he talks about would really help Texas and appeal to them...not at all what I expected after reading about him. I would just be so incredibly excited if we beat the asshat Ted Cruz.

(1,076 posts)I like it. He is for the people and stood up in the legislature in January for the teachers. I would hope the legislature is worried about his populist appeal.

(68,555 posts)but I was wrong. He is terrific. He gives me hope. The other thing that impressed me is how WV backed their teachers and forced the righties to back down...and I just heard there is a good candidate in WV too...going to check him out.
