DEM DISASTER: Democrat Turnout in Texas Lowest in 100 YEARS

[Chris]

o rly who?

Some yahoo. Look it up.

[Chris]

The catalyst for what? The quickening?

You really need that explained to you? Maybe not so deep as I thought.

As for open borders, Trump will be challenged to exceed Obama's deportation totals. That's the previous high water mark.

Obama was far from supine compared to the likes of Reagan and the Bushes.

Doesn't mean if they come right back in. Trump is looking to remedy that and I'm sure the numbers will be exorbitantly higher now that ICE has been enabled without restraint.

Texas is a red state. WGAF? Anywho:

San Antonio, Austin, Houston, Dallas and most of the coastline and Mexican border is BLUE. Texas is not as red as you think.

[Winehole23]

I disagree. The GOP is going to get a lot done with or without the Dems.

Well, they better get crackin. Majorities don't last forever.

[Winehole23]

Yeah, well a few Americans have been detained and deported on that count. That ain't right.

Without restraint means US citizens get ed: that.

I'm not a mind reader. Say what you mean.

[Winehole23]

Some yahoo. Look it up.

Yeah, why does everybody else have to back up your bs?

Can't back it up?

[Winehole23]

maybe you have another irrelevant tweet, please share it

Anyway, LBJ didn't like the book and fired him.

In 1960 Brammer said all these Texas Democrats are Republicans and they don't know it yet.

It took them til the mid 1980s, roughly, to figure it out.

LBJ sounds like a snowflake, tbh, thanks for the story...

he will steer all americans, including you, to the koolaid. dale suggests that you join him in obedience.

The Robert Caro books are where you really want to go for that...

[ElNono]

The Robert Caro trilogy is where you really want to go for that...

There's apparently 4 books, and a 5th coming out... I don't know I care about LBJ that much...

with that suggestion, $1.59 USD and 25 cents for the cup I can get a Big Gulp.

edited to reflect,

you're a harsh master, El Nono!

[Winehole23]

there's funny stories in there. like about the 1948 Texas Senate race where LBJ and an aide are taking down names in a graveyard for voter registration.

[Winehole23]

it's a warts and all. maybe one you leave in the ter. LBJ would like that.

[Winehole23]

Aide says: I can't read this one.

LBJ says: you wait one goddam minute! this dead man has as much right to vote...









...as anybody else in this in' graveyard!

Now I'm intrigued... so little time lately (and unfortunately).

I guess the lesson is the more things change, the more they stay the same.

illegal aliens in office? who do you mean?

Some yahoo. Look it up.

[Spurminator]

Not even sure was a Texas Democrat looks like, tbh...

Come to my neighborhood in Dallas sometime. Probably about 80% Democrat, mostly young families.

Of course, we've been gerrymandered in with enough of Sachse, Wylie and Rowlett (while cutting around South Garland) so we're likely going to be represented by Republicans for the foreseeable future. https://sessions.house.gov/about/our-district

[RandomGuy]

it's a close bet. Dems are short of good ideas beyond hating the GOP and DJT.

Sounds about how I would describe the GOP. Two years after the election and they are still beating the dead Hillary horse.

[RandomGuy]

I wholeheartedly agree. Don't forget open borders and putting illegal aliens in office as well.

What flavor is that koolaid? Just curious

[Winehole23]

smart move. hatred is a strong emotion.

no shortage of negative partisans on both sides, tbh

Sprawl development means that any new residents will be in areas previously Republican leaning. If most of them are Democrats that means that the "stacking" aspect fades over time.

Republican politicians stealing votes from Democrats has not engendered a lot of fondness nor willingness to be fair if Democrats ever get the chance to redraw the maps. The GOP will get to cook in a stew of their own making.
