As long as we keep running good candidates, we are fine. We must continually get out the vote, but we have done that. On the other hand, folks like Patrick are hard to vote for. I could see his slot going D, but not likely. Beto as an anomoly. Funded almost entirely with out of state money, Cruz has high negatives within Republicans (Mostly Rinos). so that created a perfect storm and it was close. |

As the I.R.A. used to say...
Terrorist only have to be Lucky... Once... We have to be Lucky... Everyday... We need to be hyper vigilant about making sure Texas does NOT go the way of Oregon, Washington, Virginia and other states that fell to the Red Menace. by voting "Blue"... Once they get to power, the will Rig the system so they can't lose power ever again. |

One big problem is the Republican Party itself. Until President Trump you never had a Republican say what great things they have done for the country or state.
The Republican Party of Texas needs to put up bill boards around the state with “Keep Texas great, support Republicans” . Those that moved from California, New York, New Jersey, and Illinois should understand that those states were fucked up by DUMBocrats not Republicans. |

Growing up in Texas in a Republican household we were the minority for many, many years. I vividly remember the "blue dog" Democrat majority.
Thankfully that changed due to may factors not the least of which was the shift in Democrat policies. But it is good to not take things for granite. My concerns are the growth of big cities that are all Blue, we rely on the suburbs and rural counties for votes. If the Dems. figure out a way to give illegals the vote or just make voter fraud easier (mail in voting) I think we could be in very real trouble. |

I assume you know what the Democratic party position plank on their platform is on guns & gun control? A candidate couldn't get on the ballot as a Democrat unless they sold their soul (& their childrens' souls) to the DNC and that means they are not going to be strong R.T.K.B.A. for us... Years ago, the Texas Democrats were "Dixie Crats" who were supportive of the Democratic party, but were extremely conservative. 60's & 70's killed the white southern conservative Democrat and not matter how much you wish for it, they are dead as the dinosaur & NOT coming "back". Dreaming of voting for a "Democrat who strongly supports R.T.K.B.A." is as much a pipe dream as 'voting' for some Republican who supports giving free abortions without parental notification to any 13 year old girl who wants one... Party politics & platforms makes THAT kind of "candidate" an impossibility of either party. |

The only democrats that remain today are the racist power hungry crazy bunch you see now that force all their elected members to vote together. But hey the Democrats come from a racist over controlling past so what do you really expect from them. There is not going to be any type of voting along issues in our lifetime again. Saying that there is a moderate or conservative Democrat is like a women saying she is only a little pregnant. It’s all or nothing for them. |

The 2018 elections were and will be tough on Texas, anomaly or not. All those judges that were replaced in the urban and suburban counties create all kinds of opportunities for voting shenanigans even before you add mail-in ballots, etc. That’s the biggest damage from 2018 and why you see the Dems pouring resources into the breach.
On the plus side, the Clinton Dems have been working for almost two decades now to make Julian Castro president and he pretty well killed his political career this cycle. So, we’ve got that at least. Although, considering it was Joe Biden/Bernie Sanders who killed it (talk about ironic), I guess we can’t write him off completely yet. Those local elections are important. Don’t let them slide. That’s where the big leagues get their new players. |

I expect the state overall to be red in November, but 2024 is going to be very red.
The state flipped to be more urban than rural two years ago, and city folk tend to vote blue. I grew up in a blue state loosing every office in every election...I'm too tired to do that again. I figure I'll probably end up in either TN or AZ in another decade or so. |

As I have said before, Trump's position/policies on a couple issues undermine his support in Texas, and thus, he has rather short coattails. Those issues are primarily immigration and trade. Trump's comments about Cruz (and his wife) certainly did not help either.
Texas is an import/export state that tends to use a ton of illegal labor. And, we have a bunch of folks that are 1st and 2nd generation immigrants. Trump pulled 52.2% with 4.68 million votes, while Hillary received 3.87 million. Mittens pulled 57.12% on 4.5 million votes to Obama's 3.3 million. McLame got 55.45% and 4.4 million votes to Obama's 3.5 million. That said, Trump should win Texas easily in 2020, but I would expect the D's pick up some seats in the Texas House and Congress. |

You also have no idea who filled out the ballot. In my nursing homes the DUMBocrat activists order ballots for everyone there. The the activists ‘help’ many of the seniors vote. Ballot harvesting is a big thing for DUMBocrats. Also boxes of ballots just appear when a election is in a recount, couple boxes in a warehouse corner, car trunk can change an election. Look at Stewart Smalley in Minnesota. |

The 5th circuit merely reversed a temp injunction issued by a US district court.
Meanwhile, the issue is also before the Texas Supreme Court. State Law issue - Tex. Supreme Court controls. Fed. Constitutional issue or Voting Rights Act issue - 5th Circuit/US Supreme Court controls. R's need to win both. D's need only win one. |

Texas still has pro-gun Dems politicians. Like many politicians in either party, they’ve learned to say what they need to say to get re-elected while quietly working to undermine that platform. The big difference is Dems are no longer allowed to be openly pro-2A at any level of state government unless they are about to flip some key Republican seat, and then MAYBE. That right there tells you where the Dem party is headed. |

You couldn’t get Cruz signs if you asked, finally the Cruz campaign started SELLING the signs to the local Republican parties. If you went to the Cruz website they charged you $10 for each sign. Was a major turn off of many grass roots voters. Beta had enough money he ran 5-6 ads per hour on TV while Cruz ran 1 ad every hour, some times every 2 hours. Now the Cruz ads were a lot better, many Beta ads had him babbling and jumping around like he was on meth. If you notice this election Cornyn is already running ads saying what he has done for the people of Texas, while the DUMBocrats are still fighting for who their nominee is. |

You couldn’t get Cruz signs if you asked, finally the Cruz campaign started SELLING the signs to the local Republican parties. If you went to the Cruz website they charged you $10 for each sign. Was a major turn off of many grass roots voters. Beta had enough money he ran 5-6 ads per hour on TV while Cruz ran 1 ad every hour, some times every 2 hours. Now the Cruz ads were a lot better, many Beta ads had him babbling and jumping around like he was on meth. If you notice this election Cornyn is already running ads saying what he has done for the people of Texas, while the DUMBocrats are still fighting for who their nominee is. VERY Well Summed. Cruz tried to phone it in via one of the WORST run campaigns I've seen in DECADES... It was Bob Dole - John McCain level lame... Just glad he didn't lose! |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Cruz had some real shitty CONsultants. They did not believe in grass roots and told Cruz he could pretty much ‘phone it in’. Admittedly Cruz still had his job as senator and Bob the Fake Mexican was no longer a do nothing congressman. Cruz had a decent amount of money for a normal run for senate, but Bob the Fake Mexican had over 3 times the amount. You wanted Beta yard signs, call or go to the website you got a couple free signs a few days later. This gave the illusion of a huge ground swell for Beta.

At the end Cruz got on the stick and started running a real campaign. Cruz started to do quite few events and had real good turn out of supporters. Cruz did have Swamp/RINO’s in the senate and the party that did not like him. Remember Cruz beat the snot out of the RINO/establishment’s boy Dewhurst, when Dewhurst was a ‘shoe in’ for the senate seat. |

Ironically, Dewhurst recently made the news for getting the snot beat out of him literally by his 40 year old girlfriend.
