Crenshaw Out

 

      In one of the biggest political stories at this moment, Rep. Dan Crenshaw (TX-Argh) has lost his primary to hang onto his seat to State Rep. Steve Toth. What's most remarkable is that Crenshaw lost by nearly 20 points.

     TX-2 is a tiny, ruby red district so it looks as if Toth will win the general election against whatever  sacrificial lamb the Democratic Party will put up against him.

     Despite Crenshaw's strong voting record rubber-stamping almost everything Trump wanted, he ran afoul of the thin-skinned sore loser after refusing to amplify Trump's lie that the 2020 election was stolen from him. Crenshaw was the only Texan running in tonight's primaries that Trump never endorsed.

     Crenshaw also didn't do himself any favors by threatening Tucker Carlson's life in a hot mic moment. Now MAGA voters are laughing themselves sick over Crenshaw's humiliating primary loss, one of the most stunning ones since Eric Cantor lost his in Virginia years ago.

     It only goes to show how unforgiving MAGA is over one transgression.

     Oh well. Maybe Crenshaw can play an extra as a short-lived foil for Johnny Depp if they ever make another Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
