Just talked to my main source on the Texas midterm story. The @JosephKopser campaign in TX-21 campaigned hard, did much better than expected, and came close to winning when it shouldn't have been close.
Today, the campaign is shutting down and everyone goes their separate ways.
There's a scene in that 80s classic 'Under Fire' where Nick Nolte plays a war photographer and Ed Harris a mercenary. They're friends during the Nicaraguan revolution, and observe and survive heinous atrocities. At the end Harris just says "See you in Cambodia..." and walks off.

Seems kind of what this political game is (minus the actual atrocities).

It’s such a unique thing that so few people outside of it can relate to that you form really strong bonds with the people you experience it with.

Yeah. Riding shotgun with the Kopser crew for a weekend was certainly an interesting experience. I don't think most Americans understand what real practicing politics really entails. I'd also never in a million years do it myself.
