"When I was a child, I spake as a child: I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things."
1 Corinthians 13:11
This is dumb:
- McCall, asked about Facebook regulation: “I think my opponent knows more about this. He ran a super PAC and bought a bunch of data from Cambridge Analytica."— Patrick Svitek (@PatrickSvitek) April 12, 2018
- Roy: "Completely false." SAEN mischaracterized the connection. "I had nothing to do with Cambridge Analytica. Zero."
This is even dumber:

Here's the thing: We've known BOTH Matt McCall and Chip Roy for several years. They are BOTH solid. That's why this has been depressing to watch.
And it's not just this Cambridge Analytica/Nancy Pelosi kerfuffle. Attacking Chip Roy as some sort of "Washington insider" is asinine (the man worked for Ted friggin' Cruz). Likewise, attacking Matt McCall as a "government contractor" is equally stupid.
Bottom Line: We suppose, with so little difference between the candidates on issues, it was inevitable that minuscule distinctions would get blown out of proportion; we could still do without the childish name calling.
