I wish they’d post recommendations for more than just statewide offices. It would be nice to eliminate more of those RINOs who band together with the ‘RATS in the Texas legislature..
I’m not a Texan, but in the upcoming primaries/midterms, the most important characteristic of the candidates must be the ones most likely to be win! Unfortunately, nothing else matters! People who would vote for Rand Paul, for example, like to think they’re making a statement, but, in fact, are lessening the chances of a Republican win. In this nasty political season, hold your noses and pick a winner.
Thanks!! Passed this to my Cowtown family.
Paxton needs 50% + 1. Ain’t gonna happen with Hunt in the race. Who’s gonna tell him he’s made his point and to think of his political future if he want’s one?
It’s on Trump. We can’t waste the 3 months for a runoff. Don’t forget the money wasted. If Cornyn were to get the 50+1 we’d have to live with it.
Ignore the recommendations of these groups and do your own research. All of these groups are funded by a billionaire with a specific agenda. They are destroying Tarrant County and cost us the SD9 race with a candidate that was very unpopular.
In addition in one Texas House race they moved a candidate into a district threw a bunch of money at her, lined up all these PACs to fund and endorse her when she doesn’t have a clue about the district. A very unpopular incumbent who retired shoved her in everyone’s face without consulting anyone in the district as to who would be the best person for the people.
Texans for Fiscal Responsibility ranks Texas house members. The RINOs are obvious from the list. My representative is one of the worst on the list. We tried hard, especially during the tea party era, to get rid of him. Unfortunately, support from lobbyists and special interests overwhelmed those recruited to challenge him. Low information voters continue to vote for him based on name recognition.
Could you please provide the source naming the billionaire funding all these groups.
This is a really nice round up of organization endorsements.
I would like to see this for all the states.
Please reread or ask someone else to interpret.
