We are talking about a state where
one of districts thereof, is
represented by none other than
Sheila Jackson Lee.

Texas would just be returning to what it was prior to the 1980 election.
They voted for Carter in 1976 and democrat in the previous elections.

If Ted isn’t careful people are going to think he’s in competition with Plugs Biden for the title: King of the Gaffes.

Or he’s just mentally deficient.

Mexico lost Texas via immigration. Texas will fall in time again. Just as the South as a whole is slowing being bred out and imported in.

“Tofu & Dyed Hair” lol!
I like Ted, but sometimes he makes himself sound like Jed Clampett from that TV comedy. I know he’s trying to sound authentic. Just like others; “Gonna get me a Hunting License!”

I have to laugh sometimes at the Image my present state of California has to those in different states.
Don’t forget that a large number of us are not natives of this state. I chose to live here after leaving the Navy back in 1983. I could have gone back to either Michigan or Ohio.
As a conservative, I’ve learned to pick my battles, and not be too quick to take the bait when hearing an opposing view.

I expect Trump can drag this guy across the finish line, but it is almost not worth it.

So you want the Democratic Rep. Beto O’Rourke to win? If Cruz loses Texas we are in deep Do Doo..

I can’t believe Texas is so lost that the people there would vote for that dangerous socialist.

Texas is not lost. The Socialist nut will not be elected, but it's looking like Ted won't win by a decisive margin.

Not good. It'll only encourage the left to try even harder next time.

We want more conservative justices, Texans. Vote for Cruz, or wear this.

How Dramatically Did Women's Suffrage Change the Size and Scope of Government?

JOHN R. LOTT Jr.
American Enterprise Institute (AEI) (download links for whole document at bottom of page)

September 1998

University of Chicago Law School, John M. Olin Law & Economics Working Paper No. 60
Journal of Political Economy, Vol. 107, Number 6, Part 1, pp. 1163-1198, December 1999

Abstract:
This paper examines the growth of government during this century as a result of giving women the right to vote. Using cross-sectional time-series data for 1870 to 1940, we examine state government expenditures and revenue as well as voting by U.S. House and Senate state delegations and the passage of a wide range of different state laws. Suffrage coincided with immediate increases in state government expenditures and revenue and more liberal voting patterns for federal representatives, and these effects continued growing over time as more women took advantage of the franchise. Contrary to many recent suggestions, the gender gap is not something that has arisen since the 1970s, and it helps explain why American government started growing when it did.

From The Collaborative International Dictionary of English v.0.48 :

  Hysteria \Hys*te"ri*a\, n. [NL.: cf. F. hyst['e]rie. See
     Hysteric.] (Med.)
     A nervous affection, occurring almost exclusively in women,
     in which the emotional and reflex excitability is
     exaggerated, and the will power correspondingly diminished,
     so that the patient loses control over the emotions, becomes
     the victim of imaginary sensations, and often falls into
     paroxism or fits.
     [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The chief symptoms are convulsive, tossing movements of
           the limbs and head, uncontrollable crying and laughing,
           and a choking sensation as if a ball were lodged in the
           throat. The affection presents the most varied
           symptoms, often simulating those of the gravest
           diseases, but generally curable by mental treatment
           alone. Hysteric

...not to mention the huge influx of California liberals who are rapidly invading major Texas cities and adjoining satellite towns.

Cockroaches of the worst kind.

“We’ll just round then all up and send them elsewhere. “

Your abject arrogance is palpable. I truly hope Texas says red, but the way you’re headed doesn’t give me any confidence that you will stay red for very much longer. You’re too big a target for the Left not to have their undivided attention.

And here ya go pal:

“Former Cruz Spokesman: ‘It’s Possible’ O’Rourke Could Win”

That Texas would elect O’Rourke, tells me you are closer to going Blue than I would have ever thought. Tell us all why this is a possibility when Cruz is about as conservative as you get.
