There’s always this interesting debate within Republican circles about the State of Texas. The essential question is always about whether Texas is really ‘conservative’, like Ken Paxton, or whether Texas is really more akin to approved Bush type Republicans like Greg Abbott and Chip Roy.
The consistently debated issue surfaced most recently with the attempted impeachment of Attorney General Ken Paxton; which was, not coincidentally, led by the Bush clan of Republicans within the state.
A recent poll from the University of Houston may provide some data for an answer. [DATA HERE] Approximately 1 out of 5 (20%) of the state Republican electorate would support a nomination of Nikki Haley. The other 80% support Donald Trump.
However, it should be noted that while “Bush Republicans” represent about 20% of the Texas Republican voting base, the “Bush Republicans” represent approximately one-half of all statewide elected Republican officials. This 50/50 Republican split is very similar to the distribution curve we see in Washington DC.
University of Houston – […] In the March 2024 Texas Republican presidential primary election, Donald Trump holds a more than 60 percentage point lead over Nikki Haley, 80% to 19%.
Trump’s vote intention is highest among likely Republican primary voters whose highest level of educational attainment is a high school degree or less (91%) or a two-year degree or some college (87%) and who are a born-again Christian (88%) and who are Latino (86%). (more)
Anything from the Houston Post is just Leftwing BS. Houston is the bluest part of Texas and almost as problematic as Austin. These two cities are the warts in the great state of Texas!!
If you recall, a lot of New Orleans moved there after Katrina.
“Nikki Haley’s campaign manager sent a memo openly admitting they plan to use Democrat voters in open Republican primaries to sabotage Trump. This is no conspiracy. It’s in black and white!””Barack Obama’s former campaign manager, David Plouffe, is advising Nikki Haley on how to cheat-to0-win with Democrat voters!” ~ standupamericaus.org

That 5% are diehard Bushites.
I read somewhere (and no longer remember where, just that the piece itself was extremely detailed, well-written and from a reliable source) that an odd and little-noted socio-political breakdown showed that those with a BA were ANTI-Trump (that part always gets mentioned in articles) BUT that those with a graduate degree (no matter the subject) were heavily PRO-Trump (that part never gets written about.)
it showed that those with the ability to give their professors (and bosses) what they want were also likely to be those who agree with conventional wisdom — and they were also the people coming up with that conventional wisdom in the first place. And along with coming up with those opinions and ideas to begin with, they were of the mindset that yes, I know how to give my “superiors” (and they might use that subservient language, too) what they want, at least enough that I can “get ahead” in life.
Whereas, once the researchers looked at those with a graduate degree, they found that they tended not only to be more iconoclastic, but that they were also more pro-Trump.
Interesting that those writing the articles don’t make that distinction between the anti-Trump crowd (“those with a college degree”) and the pro-trump people (“those without a degree” OR “those with a graduate degree.”) Pretty important fact to just gloss over…
This actually contradicts my recent research, which definitely showed higher degrees = stronger (Big D) Democrat tendencies, in general – however, highly religious people with high degrees – which TX abounds in – tend to be less statist.
WHO do they think they are? Meryl Nass explains the bio-fascist order that they plan to force on all the world; and James Roguski tells us how to STOP them (substack.com)I can’t verify the validity of this or the details…but, I like knowing what evil is being planned for our world.
The link will take you to the WEF speaker.
They can’t force anything on the US w/o 2/3 of the Senate agreeing to it
Here’s a pretty decent breakdown on Texas and the Electoral College https://skeshel.substack.com/p/will-donald-trump-hold-texas-in-2024?publication_id=798984&post_id=141256023&isFreemail=true&r=1ha8x0&utm_source=substack&utm_medium=email
