Not the breaking news you think it is

Greg Abbott was scared shitless by the November turnout and results. Yes, Beto lost, but Democrats won where they hadn't in 40 years, and the most populous county in Texas went deep blue (a clue to non-Texans who think Austin is the blueberry in the red cherry pie of the state: I'm not talking about Travis County). Abbott doesn't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows. And Donald Trump is not the only thing unprecedented in American politics.

And, as the Sixties showed, for every action, there is always a reaction.
