Episode Description
Texas Democrats find themselves in their strongest election position in decades as the Texas GOP collapses under the weight of scandals, high-profile defections and its own bad policy choices. Texas Democrats have largely performed without major missteps - except, of course, that strange award given to musician and notorious abuser Chris Brown, who has punched back at State Rep. Venton Jones for apologizing - while Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett remains silent on the matter.
