Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson announced on Friday that he is switching parties from a Democrat to a Republican.

I think he’s very articulate.
Bush Cartel got to him......
Mayor Johnson sounds like one extraordinary individual, the type of stellar person whose strength of character would make him successful in any field. The shocker is politics is his chosen field. I suppose evidence of the notion that even hell has room for a saint.
Who is?

Years ago there was a Dallas Republican mayor named John Erik Jonsson. Quite a similarity in the names of the two mayors.

“How do you know he won’t be to the right of the rhinos?”
An interesting question.
The two best Presidents of my lifetime were both formerly democrats. Reagan and Trump both forsook the democrat party for the Republican.
We just need to wait and see.
“He is freinds with Cruz and Patrick.”
And you’ve got confirmation in what way?

Rat-Rino, same politicians trying to pad their pockets with hard working taxpayers money.
I vaguely remember his name as he left office when I was 8.
