The repudiation is not yet realignment but there is no path to the White House for Republicans without Texas. Democrats have to deliver, but they also have to be pragmatic populists.
What
follows are a dozen takeaways from the last working journalist who actually covered the Ann Richards election in 1990.
---First, last
night, we obviously saw a repudiation of Donald Trump, but it is as of yet unclear whether it is a realignment. Democrats ran
on a very generalized program of fixing what was wrong. We will see if they can
execute.
---What we
are now witnessing is the end of the right-wing takeover of the populist
movement and the emergence of the left-wing takeover of the american
populism. Unlike the right-wing populism that was dominated by a cruel,
narcissistic adolescent the left-wing populism has a
soft, gentle, humanist face. But it is populist
nonetheless.

New ventures, lobby moves, power players, and more
This is
it.
The final
weekend before Election Day 2026 has arrived as early voting in person concludes
this evening. It’s fitting that Halloween is here right as Texas Comptroller Don
Huffines was on stage telling Republican voters to be frightened during a rally
with President Donald Trump in Lubbock.
On the Quorum
Report Radio podcast tonight, we’ll break down the final push by the campaigns
to turn out their voters and my friend Brad Johnson with The Texas
Bullpen will drop by for a drink as we do our best to read the tea
leaves ahead of Tuesday. The links to follow the show are on the QR homepage.
Meantime, career
moves are in the news as People on the Move returns. It’s the most
efficient way to let the entire Texas Capitol community know about
your new gig – or you can share the career news of a friend or adversary. Send
it anytime to ksbraddock@gmail.com
and use POTM in the subject line. Please and thank you.
Here’s the
latest edition.
