Its not a silent majority, its durable minority. Nixon had a silent majority. His true 5th avenue shooting claim does not speak well of that crowd.

Cruz is a Senator so that's not a great head-to-head comparison.
At any rate, a state that is known for being right wing, Libertarian, and massively in love with guns came within 2 percentage points of giving a hard Left candidate a statewide seat last year, and it was not due to a scandal or some other massive fuckup by Cruz. Anybody ignoring this because they think that it is some sort of outlier is kidding themselves.

Rep. Tom Graves (R-GA) quitting. Very close ally of Kevin McCarthy and he's pretty young to boot, so this is pretty unusual. He was part of the 2010 "Tea Party Class" and like so many of those guys, perhaps he's had trouble adjusting to being in the minority and having to lick Trump's taint daily.
Safe R district though. Not a potential Dem pickup.

Biden got into an angry confrontation with a voter at a town hall in Iowa. Guy told him "I've got two problems with you: You're too old and you set up a job for your son in Ukraine" Biden responded with "You're a damn liar" and it was all downhill from there. Video will be easy to find pretty soon, I imagine.

This is the third time and third different Senator that Trump has gotten to block passage of the bill recognizing the Armenian genocide. This bill passed almost unanimously in the House. Kevin Cramer literally co-sponsored a virtually identical bill in 2017 yet here he is, doing Trump's bidding.

That's nearby, DSL. Well, relatively. I must, I respect his industrious efforts. I'm not sure how hard it is to acquire fissionable material, though. So, the efforts, while noble, were perhaps doomed to fail.Dan Patrick: What was your reaction to [Urban Meyer being hired]?

He won't really talk football anymore. I did mention that Bama and M may play and he said, "Well, that's just fucking great."
He has been touting basketball, though. So, I have that in my hip pocket hoping it's a card I can play in March."The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham Lincoln
