He’s on record being against trans people. The subtext is “trans people are a threat to normal girls and shouldn’t be allowed to play if they’re going to win”
That clip is exactly what I was referring to as empty grandstanding. He has a long track record of being an ally during the primary and before seeking the senate position at all, and the subtext you’re alleging is not borne out by the totality of what he’s said.
In Texas, he’s probably right. There are no Republicans in the Democratic primary afterall, and there are definitely more Republicans in Texas.
He has to overcome their lifelong soul seared hatred of Democrats and every bit of poison that is crammed into their eyes and ears 24/7. Like sure, he has reality on his side, but he’s still fighting an extremely uphill battle.

I honestly don’t feel that hopeful for him.
