Very bad day for Texas, Very bad day for America

Yesterday's primary here in Texas probably won't go down in history.  If it did, maybe nobody will care anyway.

This country is swirling down the poop chute and this primary is one of the prime reasons why.

  • Too few voters
  • Too little interest
  • Big money and name recognition won, everybody and everything else lost BIG TIME
Over 90% of the GOP voters want to end ObamaCare.  So, they think that Cornyn's going to do it?  He just helped make sure that ObamaCare catches on.  The chances that ObamaCare will repealed just got a lot dimmer with this election.

None of the big time media people would help the underdogs in this election.  They lost because they lack credibility as candidates.  More name recognition would have helped.  With that, maybe more contributions.

Other polls claim that the American electorate are dissatisfied with incumbents.  You wouldn't know it based upon what happened here yesterday.

What does the big media do: endorse Cornyn.  Yep,  The Big Media who reports that the people are dissatisfied with incumbents will also endorse the incumbents.  I don't know about the Big Media in Houston because I don't watch it.  But at least one so-called conservative commentator here in Houston endorsed Cornyn.  That would be Ed Hendee at KSEV radio.

What if Hendee and the rest of the media would just introduce the candidates and honestly let them run for the office?  Nope, can't let that happen.  The code of silence because big money talks.

Now I have to wonder about Stockman.  It was Stockman who was supposed to give Cornyn some competition.  Was Stockman intended to be a stalking horse?  Did he just get into the race in order draw votes from the others?  Stockman did not appear to be serious.

This was a sham of an election.  Pity is that it doesn't have to be that way.
