Tarrant County this year will stay Red in November.

…she’s always just focused on getting things done.

In this case the thing needing to be done is getting Kay Granger reelected.

Trump’s coattails will help her do it later this year. Would be shocked if TX doesn’t go for the President.

I always saw Granger as a Kay Bailey Hutchison mini-me.

Good to see she is evolviing.

One of my major reasons for being late to the Trump party is that I doubted his pro-life conversion. I no longer do. Or more accurately, I know longer care. His personal thoughts are irrelevant in the face of his actions, which have been more pro-life than any president before him.

If there was ever a president who lets his actions speak louder than his words it’s Donald J. Trump!

“Less than two decades ago, President Donald Trump described himself as “pro-choice in every respect.” He’s now the most pro-life president in modern history...”

I don’t believe this is as uncommon as the author would have you believe. I was ambivalent at best on abortion when in my twenties and probably would have seriously considered full support for a girlfriend with an unwanted to have one at that time.

Now, decades later, I abhor the practice am adamantly pro-life and find it hard to believe that I actually believed as I once did.

I don’t know Trump’s personal views on abortion or on guns, but I know his political position. His stance is that he will keep his promises to his voters to the greatest extent possible, and he has delivered on that almost 100% (occasionally reluctantly but almost always delivering, eventually when possible).

“Republicans were shocked when Tarrant country flipped blue in the 2018 Senate race, voting for Democrat Beto O’Rourke over incumbent Sen. Ted Cruz.”

This is because ol’ Ted ran a crap campaign and took voters for granted. He got started late, his message was basically “I’m Ted Cruz, I’m a Republican, vote for me!” and he did stupid things like charging supporters for yard signs and other campaign materials. Tarrant County voted GOP for all statewide offices, IIRC, so the problem wasn’t that Tarrant went blue but that Ted sucked.

Critics and conservatives alike remain skeptical that he is personally pro-life,

Once elected, a president serves and echoes the beliefs of the people who elect him. His personal beliefs are irrelevant.......He's a representative of the people, not his self.

Granger has voted pro-life during the past decade or so, as have most other erstwhile “pro-choice” Republican Representatives. That being said, most of the abortion votes on the floor are on items on which almost every GOP House member agrees. I’d rather have a more conservative member from Granger’s district, but it’s not a big priority for me.

It cracks me up whenever a pro-abort says the decision is between the woman and “her doctor.” The doctor they’re referring to is an abortionist. He makes anywhere from $300 to $15,000 per abortion and isn’t beholden to rules or regulations from insurance companies. He’s the only “physician” I know of that actually kills human beings on purpose instead of saving or healing them per the Hippocratic Oath he swore to obey.
