A Texas state representative in Houston has decided to leave the “almost unrecognizable” Democrat Party for the Republican Party.
In her announcement on Friday, State Rep. Shawn Thierry explained she made the switch because the Democrat Party “has veered so far left, so deep into the progressive abyss, that it now champions policies that I cannot, in good conscience, support,” the Texas Tribune reported. In a social media post, Thierry said she had voted Democrat her entire life because her parents believed it was the “party of the people.”
“But as the years have passed, I have watched with dismay as the party I once knew has drifted far from its roots. It has become almost unrecognizable—radicalized and increasingly out of touch with the values that millions of everyday Americans hold dear,” she said.

It takes courage to break free from the communist’s hold.
courageous lady
Or, in this case, to walk off the plantation.
Smokin’ HOT!
So, how long does it take a mentally healthy person to figure this out?
The fact that it took her THIS long to do something decisive makes this a ‘meh’ in my book, and instead, I would look to what she is getting out of it (if I cared). Almost for sure something of political gain.
Chris Plante reported her Democrat Texas House primary opponents spent $1 million trying to defeat her.
Of course the Texas legislature isn’t in session. The Texas House won’t convene until January — after Thierry’s successor is elected. So Thierry’s party change matters less than very little.
It sure took long enough.
Probably because they know the cheat won’t happen, in Harris Cty, in November ... since the TX auditors will be overseeing, due to corruption.
Strikes me as a cry baby loser. What caused this great wakening after her primary loss and not before? When I see her actively campaigning for Trump and Cruz I’ll reconsider. Until then she is someone who can’t be trusted by either party.
RINOs rejoice!
Man..... you made me look.
Oh oh, a woman of color, leaving the Dem Plantation. Dem heads are exploding.
ATTENTION: All Conservatives/ Republicans, these people are just wolves in sheep’s clothing.
They do the Jeffords jump just to infiltrate your parties and institutions.
Look at their voting records, past interviews, past writings, and past actions.
ACCEPT THEM AT YOUR OWN RISK!
“Dem heads are exploding”.
I DOUBT that very much, they know she’s a plant in your party as well as I do!
Waking up. Good to see
