“Beto” among his many successes is that he may be the first losing candidate to have more coattails than the candidate who defeated him.
Yes, indeed, TX suburbs are no longer reliable for conservatives. We are running out of safe spaces at a rapid rate. Abbott should suspend his efforts to attract CA and NY businesses to TX.
Thank God we didn’t get the Amazon HQ.
With Harris County losing Judge Emmett and Ft Bend County losing Judge Hebert, businesses who may have been considering Houston - Sugar Land area, will likely put the kibosh on their plans.
The Houston EDC cannot be happy, right now.
These areas likely will bounce back. Bottom line is that middle class suburban women fell for the propaganda and did not like Trumps style the past two years. Style over substance. This is not necessarily a permanent change. Abbott is a better reflection of where Texas is. The senate race was nationalized like abortion Barbie was. Except Beto was a more appealing candidate.
That is it in a nutshell.
All the blame lies at the feet of all these Southern Governors, who were tripping over themselves to lure corporate America to their states for all the high paying jobs. Especially the, corporate headquarter and tech type jobs.
They promised Texans, Georgians, Floridians, Tennesseans, South Carolinan’s all sorts of high paying jobs.
They promised corporate America tax breaks, newer schools, lower property taxes, no sales taxes, bigger & newer homes for far less, better weather, new soccer fields and ball fields for their kids. They promised them the world. Only thing, all their employees moved with the company. A few of the locals got some jobs. But what did the transplants do?
They brought all their liberal, Democratic BULLSH*T with them. They think they’re better than everyone because they’ve convinced themselves that they are far more enlightened than anyone else. Those folks will never be Texans, et al. They’ll forever be carpetbaggeers that will never embrace, The ???? Way of Life.
Want a prime example, look at what happened during ‘Snowmaggedon’ in Georgia a few years ago. And now the Cajun Navy. Everyone likes making fun of rednecks, until you need one.
I am a carpetbagger. Moved to Georgia from NY, in 95. Fell in love with the place. Would never think of going back. When I just look at the gun laws, it makes me sick to know that they very same people that have allowed such disastrous gun laws to be enacted in NY are now flooding Georgia at an alarming rate. I can go into a Walmart and buy any box of ammo I want. In NY, I have to show a handgun permit, with the pistols, w/ serial numbers, and can only buy ammo for what is listed on the permit. And the permitting process is a completely other disaster, in and of itself.
It’s a shame we can’t make them pass a test before they move in or restrict their ability to vote for a few years.

yep
