Anyone who remained a Dem thru Obama, Trump and 9 months of Bitem is not who we need on our side.

Too stupid, too long.

Don't be fooled. This is merely a ploy to get elected in a Republican district, then continue to act as a Democrat.

Easy there.

I understand your cynicism but understand that Starr county is right on the border, not too far from Brownsville and it's about 96% Hispanic.

While he still needs to be watched, I'm thinking that this is an interesting victory.

He’s been a demokkkrat representative for 18 years. Only now is he figuring out the anti-life fiscally-profligate (although, like Republicans are to talk about this), anti-business, anti-human, anti-God agenda of the Party of Satan??

Another opportunist. The Republican Party is full of them!

Did Rep. Ryan Guillen support constitutional carry?

Hope this is not a rat deciding to be a rino.

Yes. He voted in favor of Constitutional Carry.

He was one of 3 Democrats who voted in favor.

1 Republican (Morgan Meyer) voted against.

In a lot of these areas, you simply couldn’t win running as a Republican. Some figured out they could win on the Dem line even if their ideology was center-right. Hispanics are waking up and trending GOP, especially in the Rio Grande Valley.

Well, that is a relief.
At least he is on the correct side of that gun issue.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m willing to accept the opportunist. That’s part of how politics works. Even if some of your members aren’t so hot, if you have a majority in the chamber, you get to set the agenda.

But a guy like this should be watched, and his ascent in the party leadership should be slow.

Man, how we could use just a handful of switches on the national level. Just one in the Senate!

Sounded good to me. One less democrat to foul things up.

Cannot get too excited about this. Just another liberal in RINO clothing.

Just add to the pile of baby kissers who do not believe the Citizens of Texas can decide by vote, up or down, whether they can be free from Mordor on the Potomac and once again be a free nation. So they, RINOs, sit on a bill in committee until it dies.
