I consider this a sort of beta Trump situation. Whenever someone says “Trump speaks his mind!”, I can come back with a “So does Robert Morrow. How’s that workin’ out for ya?” Call it a cautionary tale. BeeGee Travis Co. Democrat who’s wondering how we could harness the energy of furious backpedaling ---

I’m not entirely convinced, that considering the location, that there wasn’t a large proportion of… insincere voting from Democrats and students wanting to mess up the Republicans. I don’t see the actual Travis County Republican base being such idiots that they’d knowingly vote this clown into office as the county chairman. ---

I dunno. Texas Republicans have become so used to voting for batshit crazy people like Cruz and Gohmert I think they’ve stopped checking for the actual manner of craziness their candidates display. I think that this guy is pure comedy gold. ---
