Newt Gingrich: Texas offers a blueprint for a red wave election in November

You may not have read about this GOP victory, because the liberal national media is not exactly excited to report that Republicans reclaimed a seat they had not held in 139 years.

From the left’s standpoint, this victory is even more frightening because the district is 73 percent African-American and Hispanic.

The big choices in this 17-county border district were:

Right to life versus tax-paid abortion. As Catholics, many Hispanic voters simply won’t vote for liberals who are for tax-paid abortions. Of course, every Democrat who is campaigning for free government-run health care is campaigning for tax-paid abortion.

Safe borders versus dangerous gangs. As Patrick explained, “most law-abiding Hispanics support controlling the border, stopping criminals and keeping their community safe from gangs like MS-13.” He pointed out that he campaigned four years ago on repealing the sanctuary city law in Texas and got about 50 percent of the Hispanic vote. Flores’s own campaign website clearly states: “Our borders must be secure, and our communities must be safe. … We will make Texas borders secure and a bad place to be for criminals and gangs. We are and must remain a state where the rule of law reigns.”

Gun rights versus gun control. Many Hispanic voters strongly support the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms. They distrust and oppose liberals who want to have government control their guns.

Local rule versus centralized bureaucracy. Most Hispanic voters favor smaller government, lower taxes, and more community rather than Washington controls (or Austin controls in this case).

Work versus welfare. There is a strong work ethic in the Hispanic community, and the job-creating power of the Trump system is being admired and applauded. Currently having the lowest Hispanic unemployment rate in history is a real asset for Republicans in the 2018 campaign.

It is especially telling that it is Pete Gallego that lost. His family has been influential in that area for a long long time.

Thanks to the GOP-e blocking the DOJ investigation, any chance of a Red Wave is long gone.
The only hope is nothing really bad happens in the election.
I remember when they used the excuse that they couldn’t attack Obama as they would be called racist.

They sure do a good job at attacking their own Party.

Thanks for the ping. Good news. More and more Americans are PO’d about government in general...collectivists, socialists, progressives, d’rats, scumbags, RINOS, regressives, marxists, totalitarians, tyrants and PUNKS in particular.
