The moral of the story is that "special elections" are designed to disenfranchise and are rife with abuse. The reason we have a general election is to avoid situations where a relative handful of voters can decide issues. There's no compelling reason most elected positions can't remain vacant for a few months until the next general election.

Texas seems to run these several times a year for no good reason. A good policy would be to say that any election with less than 50% participation by registered voters in a district is automatically void.

Stop criticizing based on your personal crap. He’s our governor, not yours wherever that maybe. We want him, not your pointless yapping. We do not care what the rest of the country thinks, if they think like you.

He’s certainly not a joke. He reduced unemployment for 6 % to less than 3. And your governor has ...?

He reduced the onerous tax burden impose by the Democrats by a great deal and would lower it further if he could. And your governor has ...?

He turned Wisconsin back into possibly one, if not the largest, manufacturing states in the US with his gaining the Foxconn plant. And your governor has ...?

Walker is correct on this. The RNC has done little to get people motivated.

It's almost as if they are doing it on purpose to allow the DNC/CPUSA get majorities to impeach Trump.

Term limits then yields a permanent class of bureaucratic rulers worse than the current SES Federal Employees.. aka the deep state..

Lets trust the Founding Fathers... they addressed most of the human sin nature pretty well..

I suspect most really do not understand the negative impacts of the 17th and 16th amendments... or the Federal Reserve..

Hopefully a generation will come along and take our Country from its current democracy back to a Republic

How unfortunate there are few in the next generation who might see a solution to the problem. We’d best do a better job in vetting the professors and instructors if we expect them to teach in order to make a more perfect offer to bring a more perfect order. Currently, they fall short. Very short.

It was that way in the 1970s too...

Fortunately most mature..even some hard core liberals

With media losing control of the narrative good things are happening

Hasn’t unemloyment gone down 3% in most states?

It is a fact that public education made a major swing at some point during that time. What had been taught when in school, first grade to graduating senior was far more appropriate than what was taught 5-9 years later. We had prayer, civics and American History in each grade level during the earlier years. After which these mandatory classes were passed over for others not near as important but still mandatory. The difference is seen from the first sibling down to the fourth. The youngest claims to be a conservative yet still relies on government goodies, others for cash and food. All these years of listening and claiming to like Rush has failed to teach anything which would be considered as life changing. After the second born was educated in Public school system, what had been standard practice was tweaked to become nothing more than a day care and re-education. Do believe the cause of that was due in part to busing.

Nieces and nephews, much younger are 180 degrees compared to their parents. They no longer pretend to care about learning how this country came to be nor the importance of holding onto that which made US possible. Nor do many know the value of practical responsibility. Money management, time management, even the ability to read and working simple math problems.

Have a problem with this. Or perhaps it happens when an individual reaches a ‘certain age’ and can no longer adapt to the changing times in which we live.

What occurred did so over time. What will occur will do so over time; and time has been severely shortened which makes persons feel they’ll not see anything but a decline of life as they knew it. We waited, but good things didn’t arrive in time for us to witness personally. We must rely on Faith that our children will be the chosen ones to witness the inevitable (whatever that may be).
