Republicans Should contest those offices. The Democrat’s can’t be allowed to define Hispanic political thought!

There must be a Text mex republican brand in the local offices there, and we must keep going thou people and ideas there until we find something that sticks and build a collation around it.

Never cede ground to the democrats, it just festers into a leftist state of terror which ten attacks us relentlessly.

That’s true that many counties in the Valley are overwhelmingly Democratic, but in statewide elections, conservative Republican candidates (like Cruz) can actually get over 40% of the Hispanic vote. That would never be seen among Hispanics in California.

I don’t think those of us in Fort Worth are all that fond of Wendy Davis. She barely won her district even after Van de Putte’s brother-in-law (Judge Garcia) gerrymandered conservative swaths of Fort Worth into the neighboring suburban districts.

Davis must be taken seriously because she has the support of the hundreds of thousands in TX who endorse abortion in all situations.

Republicans won’t spend the money to contest county offices in the Rio Grande Valley because there is no chance of victory.

Well, sure, Davis may lost Tarrant County but still be elected. There are hundreds of thousands of active socialists in the large TX cities just waiting to back her.

The same is true for Harris county (Houston). Due to Gerrymandering, the city limit keeps conservatives out of the city voting block. The county however still leans to the right.

I live in Ft Worth just blocks from Wendy’s headquarters…. these articles are being published for the mud slinging only. Wendy needs to be defeated soundly on the basis of her poor leadership skills and the fact she would be terribly overwhelmed governing the great state of Texas. Greg Abbott has many years’ experience as attorney general. The Democrats via Dallas Morning News are just trying to incite the Republicans hoping we dwell on pointing out Wendy’s “blurring of bio facts.” Then they nail us on being petty and mean-spirited.

Stick with facts. If we move away from abortion and start hounding Wendy on issues with substance, she will collapse.

If her brains were dynamite, she wouldn’t have enough to blow her nose.

Trendy Wendy is a tawdry two-bit, two-timing abortionist slut.

What I meant is that of the top seven cities in TX, only Fort Worth is generally Republican. It’s only so much longer that Lubbock, San Angelo, and Nacogdoches, and similar sized places, can hold back the socialist deluge.

I agree 100%.
It is very dangerous to underestimate this woman and her connections.

Seems to me that most of this will make her an even bigger liberal hero. Blind ambition, check. Make someone else pay for school, check. Dump the “no good” guy who supported her, after she made him drain HIS retirement account, check. Also got rid of the kids (sort of a post-partem abortion), check. Let nothing, not even family, get in the way of what “I” want, check. So she gets all of the benefit with none of the baggage. She just guaranteed herself a sizeable share of the “Girls” vote.

Under terms of the divorce, he got a boat, the mobile home

Which reminds me of the old joke,

What does a Texas marriage and a trailer park have in common?

(Edited slightly) At first there is a lot of huffing and puffing, and in the end someone is going to lose a trailer.

She is just another despicable pro-babykilling Dem b!tch.

Texans do not like that sort of woman.

Her language should be as tight as the part of her body that caught her a richer, older man to give her money to go to college.

Cucinnelli also had a mixture of being sold out in the worst way by his own party and having a poorly managed campaign, in which he was given curve balls by McAuliffe and failed to connect with them. Suggesting it was somehow only voter fraud that cost him the election is wading into self delusions.

Now, if she wins somehow it would have to be because she relied on connections of some sort that could completely rig the system. The idea that Texans would vote for a New England transplant, without much of a cohesive platform of any kind other than her love for abortion and who has now been found to be a liar and fraudster with Clinton levels of unfaithfulness, simply because enough of them desperately want wholly unrestricted abortions is beyond the pale.

A Wendy Davis win would been the electoral system is a bike that has been thrown under the wheels of a speeding 18 wheeler.

So what is the support like? At her home base, there should be some sort of way to gauge the amount of popular support she has. I know Texas has thundreds of thousands of abortion supporters but millions of people in general. Could there really be a majority who love unrestricted abortion so much they would vote for Davis and neglect everything else?

‘Blurred’ is a ‘nice’ way to put it...
