Two Dumb Dems in Maine and Texas

There was a moment, a few weeks ago, when I thought the Dems might win the Senate in 2026. They still might-anything is possible-but the mood has changed in two of the more juicy races, in Maine and Texas. Both feature vulnerable Republicans, dowdy Susan Collins in Maine and the phenomenally dreadful-morally and politically-Ken Paxton in Texas. They might be easy pickings if the Democratic Party were a sentient political entity, but no-the candidates Dems offer are defective and downright weird.
