Yikes. This is scary stuff. I knew my rep was a RINO, but the rest of Texas? If Texas is blue, is there a state in the union that isn't purple or blue?

A big bite of political reality.

It would be even more interesting (aka scary) to see how the voting maps by population density. If you imagine a 3rd dimension showing population rising up vertically out of the map, there would be huge “blue towers”, and a lot of red flatlands.

That’s why here in Illinois, you can win just 3 or 4 counties and become governor - as long as they are the right counties.

Speaker Straus was originally installed by 65 Democrats and 11 Republicans.

Now, he controls the committee chairs and they are all his cronies, even the chairs he voluntarily gives to Dems. You can’t get anything passed in the House if you aren’t on board Team Straus.

I voted for Dan Patrick for Lite Gov simply and only because he promised to end Dem chairs in the Senate. If he only does that one thing, he’ll have earned my vote. Everything else would be gravy.

If you’re a conservative on a Texas, Straus has to go. His politics towards conservatives are every bit as nasty as what happened in Miss.

The Rio Grande Valley section of Texas was annexed by Mexico some time ago. The cancerous Mexican influence has metastasized. The U.S. is in deep doo-doo.

You can prove anything with numbers.

I doubt many Texas Republicans would count as liberal or moderate in some other parts of the country.

I think this map is probably pretty accurate. It is why we have barely made any progress on gun rights in the state. Everybody knows you can’t get elected as a democrat in the majority of the state, so the dems call themselves Republicans and people blindly vote for them because they have an (R) by their name.

That will change with a new Lt. Gov.

And the House Speaker, a Democrat appeaser, has lost many of his allies in the last election and they have been replaced with Tea Party candidates.

We did our part in district 115, exchanging RINO Bennett Ratliff for Tea Party Conservative Matt Rinaldi.
