A Texas where the everyday person has a voice and a fair shot — just as I had,” Valdez told supporters.

What are the odds every non gay Texan is not a racist homophobic pig by the end of the campaign?

You are wrong. Thousands of conservative voters are fleeing Leftist states and coming to Texas. If we can get corrupt illegal voters out of the polls, Texas will become even more conservative in the future.

Umm... if you had those already, then Texas has those already, so we already have what you want, so what good comes from electing you?

Evidently the Sunday School classes the democrats attend are omitting the story of Lot’s great escape.

Mexican American Texans women with their boat load of kids do not like Lesbos.

This could be a record breaking landslide.

Twenty years ago, Andrew White would have won the Democrat primary, with Lupe Valdez a distant second. The “yellow dog” Democrats in rural Texas and among working class whites are gone now. The national Democrat Party put some serious money on Wendy Davis in 2014, yet she lost by 20 points to Greg Abbott. I don't think either Valdez (a real Hispanic) or “Beto” O'Rourke (maybe a remote ancestor was shipwrecked off the Irish coast after the defeat of the Spanish Armada) will receive much funding from liberal moneybags. Both Abbott and Ted Cruz received double the vote in the Republican primary as their combined opponents did on the Democrat side. After wasting north of $1 billion on Hillary Clinton, the media, finance, and tech moguls will invest more strategically this year.

Yes on LBJ, but the Bushes are Texas transplants. They are Northeastern Rockefellers to the bone. They are about as Texan as Andrew Cuomo.

I understand your intended meaning that as an ideal Democrat candidate would be someone with multiple special class status. As indeed this woman does. What’s a few more?

Still, she’s got nothing on Bill the Cat’s “He’s been one of us” ad.

She needs to be beaten badly if only because a Democrat in Austin might encourage Californians who’ve screwed up California, but are unwilling to admit that they’re the reason it’s screwed up, to flee California for Texas.

It’s best for my State if she loose very badly and we’re all seen as terrible people by the Left as a consequence.

Let me fix that for you.

Stop stealing Willie Nelson's weed. You've got to be smoking it if you believe the pure comedy that you just posted.

There is absolutely no indication whatsoever that Texas is becoming more conservative. When Governor Rick Perry invited Californians to move to Texas, they arrived in droves and they came primarily for jobs, not ideology. You're about to quickly learn that your new neighbors they'rearexas' voting booths.

Already every major city in Texas is Democrat-controlled. Houston's last mayor was a lesbian. San Antonio's, a Marxist. And then there's Austin... Houston's current police chief is advocating gun control via ballot initiatives. Texas has more mosques than any other state in the nation.

Shall I go on?

Put the bong down. Texas is turning purple.

Have you noticed how the Dems are running more pseudo patriotic military people to fool moderate voters into thinking that the Dems are patriotic too? I wonder if the Latina lesbian was a part of the Obama military.

Pay attention to the Dems many of them do not come across as extreme. They save the shrieking crazies like Pelosi for the most extreme parts of the country such as San Francisco, or Mad Maxine from South Central Los Angeles and the Mad Hatter lady from a black area of Florida. Oh, I shouldn’t forget our own banshee from Harvard Elizabeth Warren.

Before the election they’re all diminutive, love of country, doing the best for the nation,... then it’s screaming banshee time.

Yes, I’ve noticed. Don’t like it any more when guys like McCain and others who will remain nameless do it supposedly from our side of the isle.

Our side falls for it just like the Democrats do too.

We can’t sit back and be comfortable because our land and way of life is being taken away from us in many ways. It was very disappointing how Republicans did not show up in large numbers in Pennsylvania. We cannot take anything for granted. Democrats get their voters out because they have millions of government workers in their party machine. They get their marching orders from their government bosses. Republicans do not have such a huge well oiled machine.

We have to use the churches to get out the vote. We do not have to tell people HOW to vote but the preachers could give sermons on the importance of doing your patriotic duty and how it is part of our duty to our children to take an interest in the future of their nation.

Abbott mopped the floor with Abortion Barbie. What do the Democrats think he’ll do to a Hispanic bull dyke?

They may be right about the "Latina".

I'm shocked that they'd show such disrespect for Ann Richards and her legacy.

I don't know what the hell that's supposed to be.

Point is, don't expect the Californians that Governor Perry invited over to be rock-ribbed conservatives in the voting booth.

I saw the same thing happen to Colorado. It's happening all over. Liberals screw up their states and then flee to other states. And then they vote for the same liberalism that screwed up their home states to begin with.

I have been watching c-span since 1983 and I have seen them LIE-LIE-LIE for over thirty years. It makes me wonder how people can lie every day for decades. Can they possibly even know the difference between lies and reality? And how can people who live in an alternate universe be entrusted with running out country?

Do you think that the people of non-color have gotten fed up with the screeds?

This is what I am calling myself from now on-—a person of “non-color”. :^D

It’s all a fraud game now.

How much election fraud can the Democrats get away with?
