In reply to the discussion: Kirsten Gillibrand [View all]LeftInTX
(34,485 posts)24. Tony dropped out. There is talk of kicking him out of congress.
I doubt if they will. I doubt if they will kick Swalwell out also. No one wants a special election.
Be careful what you wish for. If Gonzales is kicked out, Abbott will call a rigged special election. He knows how to rig them. Remember he wouldn't call an election after Sylvester Turner died? We had to wait 11 months. And with an R seat, he will get all his cronies togther. Start a shadow campaign, then announce an "emergency election" in two weeks. Meanwhile, they have been campaigning the entire time. That's how Abbott rolls. We have a good chance in Nov with Katie Padilla Stout. Let's not blow it by giving AK Guy "incumbent advantage".

I admit I didn't think anyone would say he groped a bunch of women and it's not a fireable offense as an option
