El Paso GOP Candidates Cry Foul
For whatever reason Republicans don't look at basic election data in El Paso County. If they did - you'd never see any of them try for a seat other than city council or school board.
Or, they are drinking some really good shit (or smoking - no judgement) that somehow convinces them that they have a shot at winning. But let me just paint a basic picture of why Republicans running in partisan races are sacrificial lambs, no matter how much they try to tell each other differently.
In El Paso County, there are about 46,000 reliable Democratic voters. There are about 11,000 reliable Republican voters - and I'm rounding up here people. In general election in El Paso there are about 98,000 reliable voters. When your base only makes up 11% (I'm rounding up again) of reliable voters, its no wonder you regularly get beat.
The same members of Y'all Qaida (The El Paso GOP) laugh when Democrats say they are going to turn Texas blue (so do I, because I can read election data), somehow think they can win general elections in partisan races in El Paso. Democrats are a hell of a lot closer to turning Texas blue than Republicans are to turning El Paso red.
Sorry, those are just facts.
Why do I mention this? Well because a candidate I didn't even know was running until she had a conniption over fellow Republican El Paso Mayor Dee Margo referring to Cesar Blanco as Senator-Elect. The candidate is Bethany Hatch. No relation to the former EPISD Trustee Trent Hatch variety. You remember him, he's the one that didn't live in the district he was representing.
She's also the largest donor to Trump in El Paso.
Well she went full-on Karen and sent an open letter to Mayor Dee Margo, giving him a piece of her mind. I love Republican-on-Republican beef.
Here's a picture of her open letter:
The reality is Cesar Blanco is Senator-elect. He's going to win and baring some MAJOR controversy - and I mean MAJOR - he's going to win handily.
I mean, he may win every precinct in the county.
She is also another one of those Republicans that wants to sacrifice your abuelita and open up the economy right away.
You know, a Branch Covidian.
She stomped her feet and demanded to see the manager on Facebook about it yesterday. Heres that Facebook post:
I think that if she's so concerned with city affairs, and in light of the fact that she's El Paso's biggest Trump donor, perhaps she should pay the money he owes the city of El Paso.
Another Branch Covidian is another Republican sacrificial lamb, Sam Williams. Although I'm actually overstating his chances a bit.
He still has to win the Republican runoff. Here's his membership application to the Flu Klux Klan.
And my favorite argument from the GOP nationally, but most especially locally, is the idea that mail-in ballots are rigging an election. First of all, they are all Trump supporters so you'd think they would be big fans of rigged elections.
Republicans have been crying foul about election fraud for years and yet there have only been a handful of actual instances of someone voting who shouldn't have voted. Seriously, too many people;e voting is not a problem we have in this state.
However when you stop and really listen to them, you realize how much they hate America and seniors. Soldiers and seniors over 65 routinely vote by mail. Are you saying they are doing some nefarious because we have a mechanism to vote that they want to use??
