Friday on The Chad Hasty Show, Nitra Barnes, President of the Lubbock Area Republican Women (LARW) joined guest host Steve Evans in the KFYO studio to provide lots of exciting information about their upcoming state-wide convention for the Texas Federation of Republican Women.
The convention begins Wednesday, November 4th with the LARW golf tournament at the Rawls Course, and continues through Saturday November 7th with the President’s Dinner at Silent Wings Museum. The complete convention schedule is available here.
The convention is not just for women: Men and young adults strongly encouraged to attend this fantastic gathering, meet candidates, and listen to many speakers. Candidate and vendor booths are available, as well as event sponsorships, and many speakers are being lined up. U.S. Senator and presidential candidate Ted Cruz will be a keynote speaker, as well as U.S. Senator John Cornyn. Among other speakers currently being negotiated are presidential candidates Donald Trump and Mike Huckabee.
Also on the schedule are Mark (“Oz”) Geist, and John (“Tig”) Tiegen, who were members of the contract security team during the attack in Benghazi, Libya, which resulted in the murder of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens. Geist and Tiegen’s presentation will include video, and they will talk about their experiences during the attack, detailing what actually happened.
About the Benghazi survivor’s presentation Barnes said,
It is, it’s unreal. You can’t hear it without being changed, it’s unbelievable.
Listen to the entire interview with Nitra Barnes in the video box above.

I have to give Trump credit. He sure gets around. Trump/Cruz
Two of my sons are out there. I will send them over. Unless it is womens only.
She says it is for everyone.
May be they can go in disguise lol...
These are Historic Days! I urge all to write a log or diary. These days will be worth remembering. In the coming years, sons and grandsons will ask what you did in the great re-alinement. What cause were you with? Trump/Cruz are one side-—I stand with them. Trump has one thing others lack—Leadership. Soon all will see this.
They used to say he has balls. Now it is called leadership.
I dont think Cruz will be the VP nom....just a feeling. He might be a better SCOTUS appt. Just a hunch.
“I dont think Cruz will be the VP nom....just a feeling. He might be a better SCOTUS appt.”
I think Cruz will be POTUS, any thing else would be a waste.
It’s Cruz or Lose. Trump is crashing his previous lead by 8 points. For Trump it is the beginning of the end. A slide goes only down. Fiorina is just a flash in the pan. But I can see a Cruz/Fiorina ticket as a winning combination albeit not the most ideal. An alpha male and an alpha female to prevent the women voters going to Hillary in a landslide.
Had the successor to Reagan been a conservative VP rather than George H.W. Bush, then there may not have been a Clinton administration, nor a George W. Bush administration, nor a Barack Hussein Ozero administration.
Consider how mmuch ground has been lost since 1988 simply because Ronald Reagan felt obliged to accommodate the GOP establishment.
We can ill-afford to have the accomplishments of a Cruz administration diluted by a RINO successor.
Yes, you make a good point. At the same time you cannot govern unless you win and thus we are forced to accommodate the political realities. The alternative of a Clinton is too much to contemplate.
Had Reagan selected a conservative VP, instead of George H.W. Bush, would he not still have won -- given the blow-out vs Carter?
Now that’s 20-20 hindsight. Remember Reagan lost to Ford
He lost the nomiation to Ford in 1976. But Reagan ran the table in the 1980 primaries, carrying 44 states.
Granted, it's hindsight -- Reagan didn't need GHWB as the VP in order to wax Jimmeh in the general.
But why shouldn't we use hindsight to inform our future decisions?
The electorate has changed. Women now make up for 53% of voters and they went 62% for Obama. Hillary’s main draw is she’s a woman and this aspect of her appeal needs to be canceled out.
There is probably no Republican candidate who cannot beat Hillary, regardless of who his/her running mate is.
That's assuming Hillary is the Dem candidate...
