Going over the Cliff

Really, the GOP stuck their foot into the whole morass when they decided they were going to fight Obama tooth and nail over the ACA. In doing so, they've lost quite a bit of ground with the lower- and middle-classes.

If anyone needs me sometime around 2016, I'll be sitting here in Texas watching Greg Abbott try to cover Wendy Davis with vitriol... I wonder if I should start practicing the fiddle again, because this is going to be very much like watching Rome burn.

I wouldn't be too smug yet, BA. The GOP sewed up those districts into "safe" ones. Not to mention the GOP practicing the voter suppression tactic. But I do say, as political theater, Texas puts on quite a show. Now, I suspect that Mr. Cruz will make a run for the big house himself in 2016. My question is whether the birthers like Donald Trump will rage against Cruz or not.
