The School Policy Scam Turning Voters Blue

YOU KNOW WHAT IS ACTUALLY MENTAL IS HOW TEXAS AND IOWA ARE SUDDENLY GROUND ZERO FOR THIS UNIVERSAL SCHOOL VOUCHER DRAMA AND HONESTLY IT IS CHANGING HOW PEOPLE ARE VOTING BECAUSE DEMOCRATS ARE GRABBING ONTO THESE VOUCHER PROGRAMS AND TYING THEM DIRECTLY TO CORRUPTION CLAIMS WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE IT SEEMS TO BE WORKING TO TURN SOME VOTERS BLUE IN PLACES YOU WOULD NOT EXPECT. I AM NOT SAYING THE VOUCHERS ARE BAD OR GOOD BUT THE WAY THEY ARE USING THESE POLICY FIGHTS AS A WEAPON IS CHANGING THE WHOLE MAP AND FRANKLY IT IS MAKING LOCAL SCHOOL BOARD STUFF FEEL LIKE A NATIONAL BATTLEGROUND. I HONESTLY DO NOT KNOW IF THE CORRUPTION IS REAL OR JUST POLITICAL NOISE BUT IT IS MOVING THE NEEDLE. ANYWAY REMIND ME TO LOOK THIS UP TOMORROW.

THIS ONE MADE ME PUT MY PHONE DOWN BECAUSE THE NEW YORK TIMES IS OUT HERE ARGUING THAT UNIVERSAL SCHOOL VOUCHERS ARE BASICALLY THE ULTIMATE TRAP FOR REPUBLICANS IN TEXAS AND IOWA. APPARENTLY DEMOCRATS HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT IF YOU PAINT THESE VOUCHER PLANS AS CORRUPT YOU CAN ACTUALLY SWAY VOTERS WHO MIGHT OTHERWISE BE TOTALLY FINE WITH THEM. IT IS BARELY EVEN ABOUT THE EDUCATION STUFF ANYMORE IT IS ALL ABOUT THE PERCEPTION OF WHERE THE MONEY GOES AND WHO IS GETTING RICH OFF THESE PROGRAMS WHICH IS HONESTLY A GENIUS MOVE IF YOU ARE TRYING TO FLIP VOTERS BUT IT IS JUST WEIRD TO WATCH IT HAPPEN ON SUCH A BIG STAGE. I GUESS WE WILL SEE IF THIS ACTUALLY LASTS UNTIL THE ELECTION. ANYWAY I AM CHOOSING TO BE NORMAL ABOUT IT.

The New York Times reports that Democrats in Texas and Iowa are successfully leveraging concerns about corruption linked to universal school voucher programs to sway voters.
