Jon Stewart looked at the political system in Texas and admitted a truth that Democrats refuse to see – Texas is not turning blue, “it is as red as red can red!”
In a recent segment on his Daily Show, Stewart spoke about Louie Gohmert and his lack of basic knowledge or common sense on any issue. And he spoke about the ultra conservative Greg Abbott who currently holds a 20 point lead in the polls over his Democratic challenger Wendy and Abbott’s running mate David Dan Patrick, who is up by 17 points over his Democratic challenger, Sen. Leticia Van de Putte. Stewart concluded that if the likes of Gohmert and Abbott are succeeding in Texas, then there is clearly no hope for Democrats.
“You poor bastards,” Stewart told his live audience in Austin. “Democrats in Texas are like the drunk guy at the bar who won’t stop hitting on a girl, even though we know she’s a lesbian; ‘no, no, no, dude, trust me. I can flip her, I just need time.’”
