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.

If that were true, then no need for the fraud, yes?

I suspect the 2018 midterms were stolen.

Politics is all about winning hearts and minds

There are a lot of good trends right now if you’re a conservative and believe that the constitution has found it is the worlds best document to run a government and it should be followed to the letter

Right now at least the Republicans are a half assed attempt at a conservative philosophy. There are some gems and some squishes

The Democrats are just an evil opposition. To everything good

On life

it’s murder babies -

or raise babies to be productive citizens in the eyes of God

On the border

It’s security versus nothing

On spending

It’s out of control growth in debt

versus really really really out of control growth in debt

That’s kind of where we run into trouble with conservative and trying to influence Republicans there are big spenders now too

Texas didn’t do it this time. Massive fraud did it and the communists will expand this practice across State and local elections from now on. Nothing stopped them this time. Nothing.

If Texas turns blue, we can expect the US to slip into a fascist regime with no controls. Anyone who does not comply or give in to the party ideology will lose everything, much like what happened to the Jews in Germany in the late 1930’s

Hispanics aren’t strong enough..YET....It will happen in the next couple of years... The dems were shocked that the affirmative action ballot measure failed in California..THEY NEVER CALLED HISPANICS RACIST FOR OPPOSING.....The dems understand Hispanics are the key to their power in California....

All of the south has been invaded because of it being cheaper and climate. Throw in lower taxes. Texas is no different. Ya can't throw a rock without hitting someone from another state. Migration always destroys, especially today.

If Texas turns blue,it will be because of Hispanics...Dems had better treat them well or they will become the “ballot counters” and they can give it to the republicans if dems don’t play nice.... Blacks will be frozen out of the game altogether by the year 2025.....

It will never "turn" blue. It might, however, be stolen.

Powell’s Legal Team Has Binder of Documents She Says
Establish the 2020 Election was a Fraud
https://www.zenger.news/sidney-powell-document-binder-2020-election-fraud/

“Powell contends that documents in the binder prove direct foreign interference and fraud
tainted the Nov. 3 presidential election, and that President Donald Trump was re-elected.”

Zenger News publishes the Powell binder in its entirety.

A relative of mine lives near Tarrant county (Fort Worth). He told me it went blue this past election.

The elections administrator for Tarrant county is a not a US citizen, Heider Garcia.

https://www.tarrantcounty.com/en/elections/meet-the-staff.html

Apparently, Heider Garcia has an interesting history. Check out part of his testimony to members of the Philippine legislature concerning election fraud with Smartmatic voting machines several years ago.
4 minute video where he is grilled because the politicians realize that the machines did not have safeguards to prevent fraud.

In Texas they need to keep the vote clean. One of the MAJOR reasons they are leaving California, whether they completely understand it or not, is the series of corrupted elections leading to the mess they are trying to leave behind.

Americans are not socialist. They may be naive and complacent-and assume public officials supervising their elections do so in the best faith possible. But registration fraud and other forms of electoral fraud are rife throughout the country and are the process by which MOST states have been turned blue since the Reagan blowout in 1984.

A “progressive state” may best be described as a state progressing in voter fraud as it moves from red, to purple, to blue.

Preservation of the vote-at the statehouse, city, and local precincts is of just as much importance to a strong America as its military defenses.

The left has exploited this weakness in America’s defenses-and sold it to America’s enemies -the CCP

Have people forgotten already the fraud in this past election? Denial?

There will not be another fair election....its all show.

I predict Congress will pass an election integrity bill in the future which will be anything but. But many will fall for it.

We live under totalitarianism now.....deep state runs the show.

Exactly. Who cares about this red/blue nonsense? The commies assigned us the color red in 2000. They choose who wins in these stupid elections.
