watching MSNOW and they are showing the line to vote in Texas primaries

I am very happy to see lots of young people waiting in line. They are prepared to wait over an hour to vote. There is a long line. The two young people Soborov interviewed were coming in to vote for Jasmine Crocket.

If young people in Texas are enthusiastic about voting and are setting a new record for the primaries, it bodes well for the general. Hopefully, Paxton makes it on the R side, which would likely increase the winning chances of either Crocket or Talarico.

I never hope for the most extreme R candidate to win because I think they're easier to beat OhioBlue Mar 3 #2

Lots and lots of young voters.

I was surprised and thrilled to see them out in large numbers!

Thank you for posting this, drray.

I heard that all through the 2016 primary about Trump.

Sometimes we lose and just end up with the more extreme R.
