If Texas turns blue, can Republicans ever win the White House again?
Just the News ^ | December 25, 2020 | Joseph Curl

Let's start in 2000. That year, former Texas Gov. George W. Bush absolutely annihilated Democrat Al Gore in Texas, winning 59.3% of the vote to Gore's 37.9%. Bush won by 1.3 million votes of about 6 million cast.

Bush crushed Democrat John Kerry in 2004, 61.1% to 38.2%. That time he won by nearly 1.7 million votes of some 7 million ballots cast.

But things began to change when Barack Obama ran for president. While the late Sen. John McCain defeated the Democrat in 2008, he got just 55.4% of the vote to Obama's 43.6%. And McCain won by fewer than 1 million votes of about 8 million ballots cast.

Utah Sen. Mitt Romney took the margin back above that million-vote mark, defeating Obama in Texas by more than 1.2 million votes of about 8 million ballots cast as he took the state by 57.1% to 41.3%.

Yet President Trump couldn't match those numbers in 2016. He won 52.1% to Democrat Hillary Clinton's 43.1%. And he won by slightly more than 800,000 votes of some 8.5 million cast.

Things got worse in 2020, when Trump got 52.1% of the vote to Joe Biden's 46.5%. While a win, his margin was just more than 600,000 votes — of nearly 11 million cast.

You read that right: 11 million. That's double the number of votes cast in the state in 1996.

Caught implies punishment.

So far, they’re getting away with blatant theft.

What matters even more is that there will be no republican party if Trump is not leading it. After that, though, Texas should be careful. I know what happens when a State is overrun. It’s not too late to build a wall to keep the liberal Californians out. Once they infect a state, they just spread the same disease that destroyed the place they came from.

“So how does Texas actually secede?
“Popular referendum?
“Legislative bill passed by both branches and signed by Gov?
“Governor exec order?”

Whichever of the above would be consistent with Texas law

Plus

Agreement by the feral government.

At least that would be appropriate unless one of the parties would rather make war on you instead of letting you walk away.

It’s all over if Pres. Trump does not somehow reverse this fraud and take office for another 4 years with the primary focus of restoring free and honest constitutional elections. He also needs to reverse the fraud that put those perverse democrats in congress. The cheat is huge, and if it is not stopped RIGHT NOW we will never have a free election in this country again.

Why do so many of you fail to understand this? Why do you believe that next election we will primary the criminals and then vote for good people in the general, and they will win and take office. If we do not put a stop to this fraud now, we lose our country FOREVER. Think it over and recognize the truth.

Let me say this, and hate me if you will:

IF YOU GIVE UTTERANCE TO THE LIE THERE WILL BE ANOTHER ELECTION AND THE FREEDOM LOVERS WILL WIN, THAT IT IS REALLY OKAY THAT WE WERE CHEATED FOR NOW, YOU ARE A TRAITOR TO YOUR COUNTRY AND TO YOUR HERITAGE, BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NO FREE ELECTIONS, NO REPUBLIC, IF THIS FRAUDULENT ELECTION STANDS.

“Left out of the discussion is that Trump got the highest percentage of the vote in New York for any Republican since Reagan.”

Wrong, both Bushes got higher percentages than Trump.

The US was a great and noble experiment, never seen anything like it before and it is a shame seeing and watching it being destroyed from within. I happen to run across an excerpt you may or may not be interested in from an ancient book by the name of The Kolbrin what may shed some light on this subject.

What are the signs which will enable us to recognize when the fabled planet of our ancient past by some also referred as the “DESTROYER” by others as “Planet X” will be about to re-enter our more immediate solar system. Below is an excerpt from the “Kolbrin” an ancient manuscript written over thousand years ago which was rescued and salvaged from the Glastonbury Abby in Great Britain. No doubt that many of you may recognize some of the signs.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Thus it was the day of heavenly wrath, which have gone, and thus it will be in the Days of the Doom when it comes again. The time of its coming and going are known on to the wise. These are the signs and times which shall precede the Destroyer’s return: A hundred and ten generations shall pass in to the west and nations will rise and fall. (and they have) Man will fly in the air as birds (Airplanes) and swim in the sea as fishes (Submarines). Man will talk peace one with another, hypocrisy and deceit shall have their day. (Welcome to present day politics) Women will be as men and men as women, passion will be a plaything of man.

A nation of soothsayers shall rise and fall and their tongue shall be the speech learned ( English ). A nation of lawgivers shall rule the Earth and pass away into nothingness. One worship will pass in to the four quarters of the earth, talking peace and bringing war (Islam). A nation of the seas will be greater than any other, but will be as an apple rotten at the core and will not endure. (USA) A nation of traders will destroy men with wonders and shall have its day (China). Then shall the high strive with the low, the North with the South, the east with the west, and the light with the darkness. Men shall be divided by their races and the children will be born as strangers among them. Brother shall strive with brother and husband with wife. Fathers will no longer instruct their sons and the sons will be wayward. Women will become the common property of men and will no longer be held in respect.

Then men will be ill at ease in their hearts, they will seek they know not what, and uncertainty and doubt will trouble them. (We are searching for the unknown) They will possess great riches but be poor in spirit. (Sure are) Then will the Heavens tremble (Flooding) and the Earth move, (Earthquakes on the increase) men will quake in fear and while terror walks with them the Heralds of doom will appear. They will come softly, as thieves to the tomb, men will not know then for what they are, men will be deceived, the hour of the destroyer is at hand.

In those days men will have the great book before them, wisdom will be revealed, the few will be gathered for the stand, it is the hour of trial. The dauntless ones will survive; the stouthearted will not go down to destruction.

An so far all indications are that one by one all the predictions are coming to pass.

For years, sunbelt Republican governors in places like GA, AZ, and TX essentially rolled out the welcome mat for Big Tech and suburban white collar types.
———————————-

Nailed it. Those folks don’t adapt to their new surroundings, as that moron Rick Perry used to run his suck about. They bring their bullsh*t with them.

They’re too arrogant and hypocritical to acknowledge that their political ideology and voting preferences are what ruins everything they touch.

No, that’s not what I said.

To reiterate, all numbers are speculation thanks to the widespread fraud, and particularly those from liberal sources. All must be taken with a grain of salt.
