So by now we all know that County Vince Perez's girlfriend, Claudia Ordaz, handily won her race for City Council.
And boy (and girl), City Council is gonna get more interesting with a Lily Limon not only taking on Niland, but Ordaz as well.
But I am not interested in City Council drama quite yet.
I am more interested in how this drama plays out with Vince.
Let's not kid ourselves. We all know that in that relationship, between Vince and Claudia, it is Claudia who calls the shots, and now even moreso.
The "But-honey-I-am-an-elected-official-you-dont-understand" card has been revoked from Vince, not that he probably had much sway with it to begin with.
It is not like County Commissioners do much anyways now, and what little they do now will only get more little once Veronica Escobar has her Chief of Staff...err...County Administrator...in place.
Meanwhile, Claudia is gonna be busting her ass for shit pay at City Council.
Okay, we have some resentment building here, but nothing out of the ordinary. What relationship does not have any sort of resentment issues?
Here's where the drama plays out.
Vince is Veronica Escobar's errand boy. But this being El Paso we know all the broads get very territorial, e.g. Norma Chavez vs (INSERT NAME), Lily Limon vs Cortney Niland, Emma Acosta vs Joyce Wilson, etc.
Veronica may rule Vince's world on Commissioners Court, but it is Claudia that is rocking it in the sack.
So now Veronica is gonna be pissed because Vince is sleeping with an elected official.
We all know how persausive the chocha can be, just ask ex-Superintendent Sergio Garcia.
Oh, there is the whole thing that Veronica has been Shapleigh since day one unlike Ordaz who worked for Shapleigh and Reyes.

Look, I can talk about the "oppostion" or the Crazies, but that is like worrying about the Taliban or ISIS. Yes, they are threantening, but ultimately they cannot build anything nor will they amount to anything.
The drama is all gonna be in the Shapleighista camp, it is our Tudors.
