Reality bites the Democratic candidate running for Governor Texas….
Texas….
Not New York or LA….
People in Texas like their guns….

He is going to lose because he’s running in a red state that ,while Democrats are getting more competitive ,they are still four to six years away from any statewide victories.
As for James, he’s obsessed with “.gun culture.”
