I legit thought Allred was it. I donated to his campaign the second I heard he was running.
He had the political chops since he had turned a deep red district in Dallas blue for the first time ever, and held it every time he was up for re-election.
He's a former NFL player, which I thought was going to be a big deal to the backwater Texans.
He is Black, so all the racist Texans could point at him and be like "We CAN'T be racist! We voted for a BLACK man to be our SENATOR!"
And finally, he didn't fucking have the devastating out-of-context Beto sound bit "Hell yeah we're taking your guns!" to plague him endlessly.
FUCK I let myself get so optimistic, and I'm still really, REALLY bitter about it.
