re: Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo alleges being shoved by Rodeo security over seat dispute

Holy shite that’s what a county judge is? That’s an important position. The comments in the thread about her election and experience make more sense now.

And Harris Co is one of the largest counties in the US. She had no experience was around 28-29 years old and rode a Blue wave. Her election is the entire reason we no longer have straight party voting in Texas.

She had said and done so many idiotic things. It was so bad during Covid that the Democratic mayor, Sylvester Turner would not appear with her at going press conferences. He and the former County Judge, Ed Emmmett, always appeared together as a united front during hurricanes, like Harvey. But she is literally bat shite crazy. Like for reals. Done some time in an institution kind of crazy. Everyone wants her gone. She’s been censored before by her Harris Co peers. She is an embarrassment.

We really have fallen far from Ed

Yep.

For a while, you could say she was one of the Top 5 most influential Democrats in the State of Texas. If she could have been halfway competent at her job and not constantly act like a petulant child, she would have found herself a rising star within the Texas Democrat Party.

But now even Democrats, at least the halfway sane ones, within Texas don't like her. The Democrat Mayor of Houston views her as a complete immature idiot.

While it can be fun to just sit back and laugh at some of her antics, I have recently become worried that her mental health is getting worse. Almost like you could see her within the next 7-10 years acting like Brittany Spears is now.

I honestly don't wish any harm on her, and hope she is able to get some help before she physically harms herself.

People are just sick of hearing her. Even the news. It’s getting coverage. But it is being edited where her time speaking is minimal. Whether that is to help her not look unhinged or hurt her by giving her minimal air time. I’m not sure.

She is not running again. I am not sure when this final term is over. People are just tired of hearing her. We want to hear you when new business is opening or when you are managing a disaster. Not trying to make a disaster out of one of the areas biggest attractions.

pretty sure it's not only a mental thing but she's probably also an addict. All signs point to Zanax or some other ADHD drug abuse for her.

This is what you get when old bitter white women, Blacks, and Hispanics will only vote for one party, no matter the candidate.

Houston is sick of her shite, she is another walking definition of a "fence post turtle."

I am not convinced that she beat Mealer in 2022 legitimately . Everybody hated her and she still won somehow.

democrats have no self control or home training

I honestly don’t care. She has been given so much rope because /r/houston types defended her thru so much BS

And Mealer had Mattress Mack in her corner, running ads, whom seems to be loved by Houstonians across the board.

But I never doubt the tendency of the American electorate to pull the lever for incumbents, especially at the local level; which is crazy to me, because many times these local politicians have a more direct effect on your life than these national swamp creatures in D.C.

How many times have Shelia Jackson Lee and Al Green been re-elected to Congress by Harris County voters? And in the case of Lee, it wasn't just the black population in that district that was behind her re-election campaigns.

while that's true, i'm convinced that if we only had in person voting (even allowing for early voting) and strict ID requirements Democrats would lose no less than 50% of their seats overnight.
