I am so sick of this doom and gloom. It’s like reading at drudgereport.

[jerod]

Yup... And Beto won there... Oops!

[going hot]

I wonder if there is an increase in resignations/retirements last few years or if this is par.

Lt's look a as “Term Limits” and also new blood in the game. Sign me.....”The Optimist”

[Lurkinanloomin]

Marchant was the only one who sided with the citizens and the rule of law.
The rest are Bush League Republicans hell bent on turning the USA in to North Mexico, good riddance.

[bigbob]

But FReepers say that “blue Texas” is a myth.

[Sacajaweau]

Flores is 65. Marchant is 68. Conaway is 71.

I think these Congress critters no longer want to spend their retirement years fighting.

Hurd is 42. Olson is 56. Don't know if they're any good.

I don't believe people are resigning out of fear they are going to lose. I don't see much difference between resigning and losing. Either way, they are out of office. I live in Pete Olson's district 22. According to Wikipedia, in the 2016 election, Olson polled 181,864 votes (59.2 percent) to 123,670 (40.5 percent) for his Democratic opponent, Democrat Mark Gibson. That is a pretty comfortable margin of victory IMO.

There is no doubt that demographics will ultimately doom Texas and the country. But I don't think that is why he is resigning. He claims it is due to the health issues of his mother-in-law. My wife is in a Bible study class with his wife, and my wife says Mrs Olson has dropped out of that too.

Trump is the last Republican President. A lot of folks better get their head on straight about the near future.

Find DINOs, Donald Dems, to run in ‘Rat primaries.

Why fight half a battle?

I was in Texas two summers ago visiting family. The morning we were leaving out to come back home, our route took us by a park next to a lake that I have frequented many times.

The park has always had open hours clearly posted of “daylight to dawn, no overnight camping!”

This morning however, in the park were no less than 200-300 persons of almost certain Mexican descent , and at least 25 large tents of various bright colors. There were basically no automobiles of any kind there, giving the impression they were going to be there a while.

I have loved this little park all my life, and rarely felt so angry or violated. Haven’t been back since, or have any immediate plans to, because I’ve been told it’s common now and things may never be the same again.

[SaxxonWoods]

I expect a massive effort by Republicans this election season because without Texas, Trump and the Republicans are dead meat.

[billyboy15]

The doom and gloomers are pissing themselves once again!

Lots of Hispanics in Texas, they whine. Hispanics ALWAYS vote for DEMOCRATS....ALWAYS...OMG, OMG!! It doesn’t matter that Trumps approval among Hispanics is hovering at 50% in TEXAS they are ALL going to vote Democrat...ALL OF THEM..OMG...OMG!!

It doesn’t matter that Texas has a photo ID law and must actually PROVE they are eligible, all those illegals will VOTE DEMOCRAT...OMG...OMG!!!!!

Debbie Downers are the BIGGEST PIA!

[Don Corleone]

What is the over/under on this crapola?

[Zathras]

Texas has a Super Majority, two GOP Senators and the Gov Chair.
Roll up your sleeves and fix Texas, throw out the Infiltrators and stop listening to Rove.

[faucetman]

Very disappointed in the American Thinker. Usually, always until now, a trusted source.

This article is pure BULLSHIRT! The retiring Congressman all have legitimate reasons to do so.

Second, most illegals don’t vote.

Third, Hispanics love Trump.

“Make No Mistake: The GOP is Losing Texas: 5 Congressmen Have Resigned Instead of Seeking Re-election”

The fruit of Perry begging Californians to move to Tejas.

[rrrod]

Nope.

Texas is the new California.
