(14,449 posts)a word or two about Wendy or at least fundraising for the Governor of Texas for the Democratic Party, but nothing. Just House and general DNC. I am sad about that.
Taking money out of Texas to spend elsewhere in Congressional races. A sadder part is that this -- this twenty years of using Texas as their ATM -- is a large part of why Texas isn't already blue.
But the saddest part? These rich Texans writing these fat checks are convinced that Texas is a lost cause for their money. It's a similar mentality as Democrats voting in the Republican primary because they believe that's the only way their influence makes a difference.
The reason why the TDP had to charge 20 bucks for the public to listen to Wendy Davis last night in Dallas is because these folks won't give any money to the TDP. Because they think it's a waste. And this mentality will not be rethought until a Democrat wins a statewide office.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
