Well, if you're going to elect a woman it's probably best to elect a male one.

This whole trans thing seems like one big troll.

 

Guilty wypipo eat that up.

 

It will be interesting to see how it plays with blacks and Hispanics.

[Filthy Fernadez 2,696]

Apparently there's more to this candidate than meets the eye.

Pretty much the only way someone born a white male is going to win a Democratic primary.

Or you do what the white boy from El Paso is doing, you give yourself a Mexican nick name.

Democrat Lupe Valdez running for governor of Texas - 70 year gay Latina candidate in Texas.

Running on a pro Mexican, anti-oil platform, along with the usual liberal agenda. I don't know Texas politics, but this could be a huge barometer of things to come.

At least she isn't a fraud like Beto O’Rourke.

I think the more interesting takeaway from that article is the following:

 

 

Until recently, Scott was one of the country’s most popular governors. The Republican held a strong approval rating among voters as he diverged from the national party’s rhetoric on immigration and social issues. Scott’s popularity, however, took a massive dive in the last few weeks after he signed a gun control bill.

Vermont has historically been one of the most lenient states on guns, even allowing open carry without a permit. The new law raised the minimum age for purchasing a firearm to 21, enhanced background check requirements for private gun sales and bans high-capacity magazines and bump stocks.

Protesters called Scott a “traitor” and a “coward” for signing the bill into law.

Scott held a 65 percent approval rating prior to signing the bill in April. A new poll by The Morning Consult published in late July showed the incumbent candidate took a major hit, polling at 47 percent approval.

 

 

 

And THAT is why politicians are so hesitant to pass gun control legislation.
