re: #432 Myron Falwell

and tbh, the main reason why JD Scholten was so close was because King didn’t even bother to run a campaign until the weekend before the election.

I’m not faulting JD here, but there was a bit of luck in play that prevented the final result from being far worse.

It sounds like he ran a smaller scale version of what Beto ran. Beto went everywhere in Texas, multiple times, talked to people, voiced their concerns, and….they voted for Cruz, and reelected Republicans to all of the top offices in the state.

The problem with his statement is it actually perpetuates the myth that Democrats aren’t concerned about rural people. There’s a whole list of things that Democrats put on the table for rural people, of which spending on education is one of them (because the school tends to be one of the biggest employers). They’re just not “only for” rural people.
