Not pissed at President Trump, but nice try.

Meh, doesn't matter. People who think like you are dying by the tens of thousands every day. The country is shifting under your wrinkly old nose, but by all means keep wasting your time carrying that Dumpy water while you can. All it does is make young people realize they need to vote.
 
Guess someone on my ignore list dropped a bomb...makes for some confusing pages 🙂

Anyway, President Ted Cruz is one of the few things I'd hate *almost* as much as President Trump. Having a fake Christian is better (in this one respect at least) than a true-believer wanna-be theocrat. Though at the end of the day both will end up throwing the Evangelicals their bones.
 
While good to see, like someone joked earlier 100% increase of 10 people is only 20. Still a long way to go, conservatives in this state shout very loud and it actually discourages liberals from voting because they think its a lost cause. After all, 5 counties account for almost 50% of the states population, and demographically Texas should be purple. The point spread in Cruz's race should be a lot closer than it is, Cruz is a vile human being but the amount of straight ticket religious level R voters still far out paces the apathetic younger generation here.

I like to pull this little fact out when the old cloud yelling porch racists start getting too big for the britches that contain their full Depends Adult Diapers...

In 2016, it became official:

Minority babies are the majority among the nation’s infants.

Tick Tock Tick Tock...

It's unfortunate that the porch racists are completely destroying the credibility of the Republican party before they go. We really need two functional and legitimate choices in this country. Obviously the GOP will have to shift their positions but it will be quite some time before the younger generation takes them seriously after this shit.

Well O'Rourke has some ground to cover. Read when he was younger he played in a punk rock band, I like him already. You think Ted ever played in a punk rock band? And he's coming right out saying he wants a ban on Assault Weapons, that's pretty ballsy. We'll see.

Far more conservative than Trump's fascist demand to take everyone's guns without due process. Recall that Cruz endorses Trump; ergo: Cruz wants to take all your guns. Boo-ya!
 
I didn't vote for Cruz in 2012 and won't be this year either. The same goes for Patrick and Paxton. However, I seriously doubt they will be beat in November.

Sorry, but if you clowns were looking to Texas for salvation, it isn't going to be there for you.

You both praise the fact that Californians have been moving to Texas in droves, and reject the reality of what that actually means for the last holdout of regressive conservative electoral votes in this country.

Soon, Conservatives at the federal level will be completely unelectable when Texas inevitably turns blue. Don't worry, though--you will probably be dead by then.

How do those numbers work with an open primary? If you voted on the D ballot it counts you as a democrat? My wife votes D, but voted on the R primary as our house seat was contested and wanted to make sure the lesser evil won.

I'll be switching to Democrat so I can vote in the Democratic run-off primary. Must be registered (re-registered) by April 23rd to vote in the May 22nd run off primary. I can do more for my Republicans if I vote Democrat in the run-offs.

you can't switch from D primary to R runoff and vice versa. if you didn't vote in the primary you can vote in either D or R runoff (but not both).
