Texas biggest risk is complacency. With only 40% voter turnout in the last presidential election, complacency is the real risk in TX

“Texas biggest risk is complacency. With only 40% voter turnout in the last presidential election, complacency is the real risk in TX”

Trump voters will crawl through broken glass to for to slap the Democrats silly.

I have been commenting lately on the subject of conservatives who refuse to support the “lesser of two evils” in a general election. There are those on our wonderful forum who believe that not voting for some Republican is a heinous sin, the sin of “giving the seat to the Democrats,” to “teach those Republicans a lesson.” (No it isn’t.)

To you I wish to suggest respectfully that “complacency” may not provide a complete explanation for a lack of turnout. Rather there are many on our side who believe that the country passed the point of no return long ago. If we sincerely believe this, then you must give us a real reason to come out and vote for your candidate. Campaign promises and passionate declarations of conservative bona fides won’t do it. Neither will all the outraged accusations of treasonous disloyalty to the cause.

“They are rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic!”
“Who is John Galt?”
“I voted FOR Sara Palin.”
“...only if God intervenes.”

I would be very interested in a discussion of when that point of no return was passed, and what might have been done at that time. I might also put on my tuxedo and listen to the band play “Nearer My God to Thee.”
