Those Callous Republicans

“We’re not surprised by Greg Abbott’s campaign attacks on the personal story of my life as a single mother who worked hard to get ahead. But they won’t work, because my story is the story of millions of Texas women who know the strength it takes when you’re young, alone and a mother. I’ve always been open about my life not because my story is unique, but because it isn’t.
The truth is that at age 19, I was a teenage mother living alone with my daughter in a trailer and struggling to keep us afloat on my way to a divorce. And I knew then that I was going to have to work my way up and out of that life if I was going to give my daughter a better life and a better future and that’s what I’ve done. I am proud of where I came from and I am proud of what I’ve been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn’t walked a day in my shoes.”

Mr. Juch, you must not be from these parts! I suspect that you hail from one of those Liberal Commie States like California, Oregon or um, um, oops!!! Well anyway, Ms. Davis should leave running the great state of Texas to us good, old boys! After all, a woman's place is in the home, NOT the state house.

I can't argue that she'd be an improvement. But if she meets your standard, well, I guess I can understand that as well.

In this case "haven't walked a day in my shoes" was a poor choice of words because of who her opponent will be. But I will still vote for her because their positions on the issues are more important than this other stuff.

An improvement on the current governor of Texas. I can't argue with that.
