’ “... the insurgent wing of the Republican Party”

I think the term is “Republican Base”, otherwise RINOs would have easily been re-elected.’

Bingo

The article injected adjectives throughout. A bit of bias.

Nah, I don’t get that impression at all. Certainly not in the opening sentence, that’s for sure.

We is cleaning house!
Local County Commissioner is fighting her predecessor over picking up brush (Vote buying by predecessor) versus fixing the terrible roads left by the former. Majority of residents see what is happening. I have had arguments with a lot of people even though that is not my county (My place is 1/4 mile from the county line). Commissioner is going into a runoff (Republican). Former Commissioner is a D (Dud).

The panic is starting to set in across the board - hard left, left and Rinos are all starting to realize that Trump may just have a LONG coat tail.

Texas voters on Tuesday handed more power to the insurgent wing of the Republican Party in an expensive and vengeful primary election, punishing GOP lawmakers, judges and a House speaker who defied hard-right state leaders and their supporters betrayed their base in recent years.

Fantastic! Time to finally get rid of the RINOs in this state. What’s the point of being a Republican if you’re going to vote with the Dems. I am particularly happy about those judges - how can the government NOT prosecute voter fraud?

"Insurgent wing" ? Looks like they couldn't figure out how to spell insurrectionist.

No, because people like the writer only consider *their* views and their chosen reps as “our democracy” - when they really mean “my view of democracy.” Just like how leftists are all for free speech when it’s speech that supports them and their views, but when it isn’t...

Exactly right. I was being sarcastic. Of course they won’t recognize the Texas victories as “democracy works” because it begins to repel their communist project.

Paxson needed to oust those 3 judges.
Now the Texas vote will be secure and Texas will stay red.

Please let the demoncrats waste their blood money in Texas.
