Description
Last night, there were two electoral trends. In the Texas state House races, an unprecedented 17 incumbents were either defeated or drawn into runoffs. On the other hand, elsewhere in Texas and around the country, we saw a pretty generic pro-incumbent result. What gives? We’re joined today by Wade Miller, executive director of Citizens for Renewing America and longtime Texas grassroots activist, who interprets the results for us. He notes that we benefited from a perfect storm of well-placed candidates, the Paxton impeachment, and endorsements from Trump and Abbott on the side of the grassroots that was enough to create a sea change. This could happen elsewhere if we only tried to replicate it. However, in many states, that will require us to push more of a convention model for primaries. Either way, the lesson of Super Tuesday is that we get exactly what we fight for and no more. We will not change the party or the country on its own by being lazy and apathetic or getting drugged by “hopium.”
