United States The Lone Star State (TX) Thread

[The Whispering Monk]

To my fellow Texans: check this out:
For Texas Democrats, the path to power runs through city hall, not the state Capitol

That's always been the case. Grab the local mechanisms and spread.

That's always been the case. Grab the local mechanisms and spread.

It's their ONLY way to get any influence due to the TX GOP holding all 31 statewide offices (including both US Senate seats) including both chambers of the TX State Legislature.

TX Governor's Mansion contest:
*TX Governor Greg Abbott (R) & former US Rep. Robert O'Rourke (D-TX) easily win their respective primaries setting up a showdown.

My prediction still stands: Abbott wins very easily by double digits in November.

US House: TX 28th Dem Primary: US Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-TX) & Jessica Cisneros (D) both advancing to the May 24th Runoff Election.

 

[The Whispering Monk]

In which case I think Cuellar holds to fight in the Election, and Paxton will crush Bush.

On George P: that's a damn shame because someone should've talked some sense into him by seeking REELECTION as TX Commissioner of the General Land Office in 2022 instead.

On Guzman: her political career is all but over. I wonder if she'll be in the private sector ?

 

[49ersfootball]

The following down-ballot statewide offices with runoff elections set for May 24th:
*TX Lieutenant Governor (Dem)
*TX State Attorney General (Dem & GOP)
*TX Comptroller of Public Accounts (Dem)
*TX Commissioner of the General Land Office (Dem & GOP)
*TX Railroad Commissioner (GOP)

She'll go where every failed polititian goes...lobbying.

I mean, look at Francis.

The 3-time LOSER from El Paso will get crushed in November by a massive landslide.

We will NEVER hear from him or his ilk ever again.

Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins (D) & Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo (D) are contenders for the TX Governor's Mansion in 2026 ugh (assuming both get reelected this fall).

 

[The Whispering Monk]

We will NEVER hear from him or his ilk ever again.

They'll still use him to schill for donations. The Left loves nothing more than a failed candidate to rally around. Helps them display their wokeness and victimhood.

Out of all of the TX Dems who could've taken the spanking for the team: the 3-time LOSER from El Paso was the best they came up with ?

Abbott's going to punk this asshole in one of the largest landslide victories in TX history.

They think his fund raising capacity will equate to votes.

It will NOT & 2022 is likely going to be a GOP year with the Red Wave across the country.
