TimmySmith 2,782 Posted August 15, 2018 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.

Strike 4,022 Posted August 15, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
