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)
Thanks Fox for all your honesty over the years.
Remember back in early to mid-2000’s when most everyone on Fox was repeating the mantra of how ‘Conservative’ the Illegals were that came over and how they’d vote R once they got their Citizenships?
If that was true, the border would be slammed shut before you could say “lying dog faced pony soldier”
I’m Laughing out Loud.
And Democrats would build a wall you could see from space.
Mr Marker board kept making the claim that these were conservative Catholics, a natural for the R party. His intention was the same as Biden’s, get them in and on your side.
?
Can they now poll how much Texas supports the Bush’s?
I bet a lot. Most people have no clue what’s really gong on here. They watch Fox and may or may not bother to vote in local elections. These are people that call themselves conservatives and Christian.
Pretty sure this goes on in most states. They know the country and world are in a huge mess, but figure they can do nothing about it, so they pay minimal attention.
We can educate those that will listen, do our part locally, and pray for the rest. The choir here has read and watched every sermon. We are singing for our lives.
Texans are smart…
Ken Paxton – 68%
George P Bush – 32%
I thought I had it made. MAGA friends, family,neighbors,etc. My dear SIL informed me last night,he thought we needed a change from Biden-Trump. After my shock wore off, I asked him who he had in mind for President. His answer:Candance Owen’s. Prayers will be welcomed….
Why would anyone suggest that when about 99.9% of America don’t know who she is. Female WITH new baby does not make a great president…and at this point, we need a miracle.
They did….
Ken Paxton – 68%
George P Bush – 32%
How can any Republican voter at this point support Bush or Nikki?
Exactly!!!!
i think there are a lot less people who are fully read into what is happening than we assume. they are otherwise decent humans, but we dismiss the need to keep educating at our peril.
on another note, i am not sure how 80/20 is much different than any other state polling right now, give or take a few.
My niece, “a very good Christian person”, call herself a journalist but unfortunately thinks the Atlantic is a good source for news. She would be appalled by how we think.
They don’t know any better.
80% of the people are wrong 80% of the time, 20% of the people are correct 80% of the time. It has been this way since before Jesus.
my kinda math.
They’re the not-yet-dead Bush supporters
If they watch Fox News and keep hearing how smart and respected Nikki Haley is, and how unelectable and unliked Donald Trump is, of course they support her! My brother-in-law is one of them- he would describe himself as a hard line conservative and he thinks Nikki should be the VP if not the candidate!
Nikki Haley has been featured on Fox News programs. Fox is of course making an in-kind donation to Nikki Haley’s campaign.
Nikki Haley is a nice looking woman and then you get to substance. Mrs. Haley talks in a machine gun fashion, endlessly spouting rehearsed campaign talking points. She never really answers the softball question lobed by the talking heads.
Nikki prostituted herself for votes on her issues while a legislator in S. C. LITERALLY prostituted herself, while married. Dont forget that.
As Sundance says, “Money”.
More than likely they are working and taking care of family. I have considered myself a staunch conservative since I graduated from the now ultra liberal ASU, AZ. I was busy raising my three kids, my husband worked 15 hours a day for 25 years, and yes we watched FOX news because we thought it was the conservative voice. Since my kids have left the house I have learned how things really are. It’s not that people are stupid, they simply just don’t know.
Lorrie, please know I’m not contradicting your train of thought because I totally get it, and it’s extremely frustrating that people just don’t understand the peril our country is in.
They all have a natural fondness for each other on account of personal experience and heredity.
Ignorance!
Stay outta da Bush.
If I were polled, I would point out that I’m a Ph.D. and strongly support President Trump.
Oh, I forgot. I never answer the phone when I don’t recognize the number. Maybe that’s why I’m never polled about anything.
MAGA DO NOT POLL.
Before 2016 we lied to pollsters,…after 2016 we just stopped answering the phone.
Hence, unless/until a poll breaks down respondents as “Dem, Rep,MAGA, Indie” and insures the % of MAGA respondents aligns with their % of the population, which would mean the census data would also have to track MAGA, the data is skewed.
And, thats according to the black arts “science” of opinion polling.
In 2016, our “stealth vote” was one of the things that caused major miscalculations that led to PDJT winning.
2024 will NOT be “just like 2020” it will be more like 2016.
It will be a lot like 2020 would have been (actually was!) without the yuuuge margin of election fraud…
…and to that add another yuuuge margin in our favor…
…subtracting another try at fraud which won’t work the way it did in 2020 because it will be far lamer with far more eyes-on.
What was done to correct the fraud?
Well said. And, we know that we really won in 2020. President Trump was the very first President in US history to get 13,000,000 more votes than he received in his first race. We also know those numbers are way off, it was many more millions for President Trump.
There will be dem cheating
Heck, I’ve got my phone set so that if your not on my contact list, you don’t ring through. Save you a lot of interruptions.
👉Maybe a silhouette showing a hybrid Jackass 🫏 and Elephant 🐘 would reflect her true uniparty WEF globalist nature but it’s still an effective picture 📸/ meme👈
Na! That shadow should be an ass.
How about a ban on wealthy ELITES including lawyers in state or federal elections?
Less country club being scummy and maybe more of the REAL COUNTRY?
Yep, just like the wealthy Dems, they are all for the extremist side of the party’s issues. Most of which, are for the underclass of the democrat’s voters. The RINOS, on the other hand, are for the themselves, and will vote for whoever increases their wallets the most.
So you won’t like this candidate in WI:

Lol wouldn’t it be great if he just hired Bubba to be the head of something rather than the Secretary of ________!
I wish I could change my 2004 primary vote.
Interesting that that photo shows a Bud. Wonder what it means.
It means that whoever Photoshopped the image wanted it to appear that Bush was drinking a Bud even though the original image showed what looked like a soda pop….
It’s a Bud LIGHT. While all the ILLEGALS they invite across the border celebrate with Modelo’s.
This image is exactly what Jack Posobeic means by his coined term HickLib.
All hat and no cattle!
He’s probably got the AC on. 🙂
This Texan does not support the Bush people. Sorry I ever did for G. W.
Obama the hated, could not have accomplished much of the damage he did, without G.W. serting him up
George H. W. Set us all up!
There was the true start of me seeing the UniParty.
I am sorry I didnt vote for Perot.
Liars, lie. It’s what they do if you accept the pretend.
How rino is Texas?
One is one too many.
The Bush GOPe party is suffering a slow death in our Great Lone Star State.
We just haven’t caught up with replacing our RINO’s to a large degree yet over these last 2 election cycles.
We’ll be there in the next two, starting with the replacement of the clown Krenshaw & next cycle Cornyn.
you better get to it before the kalifornia cabal moving in take it over instead. so goes texas so goes america. no texas no country.
I wrote this further down but believe it’s a relevant response here as well:
Another consideration that I believe has yet to be fully realized is the changing dynamic of the Latino voting bloc.
As a native Texan & Hispanic who has about 90% of his family in state, we are now at about a 50/50 split of conservative vs. liberal. This is quite a shift from what it was a decade ago.
This said, it’s my opinion that Texas will remain Red for the foreseeable future. I think the constant drum beat of “Texas is going to turn blue” or “Texas is purple” is a political/media narrative being told to create a false expectation for Arizona & Colorado type voting corruption.
80/20 rule
But opposite here
20 percent do all the work
80 percent air breathers
Texas is weird
No offense.
Noting: university of Houston source?
This does not surprise me, really. Texas was a Democrat state for a long, long time. Many of those old Dem families are still there, and are now Republican.
My business partners are in Houston and I was very surprised how moderate most of the “conservatives” are.
Of course they all think I am “Out There”.
Great folks just a slower outlook on things. They like to contemplate a bit more than I do. Probably why they have the money. 😎
Keep in mind, the Southern states were all Dems (Southern Dems). The slight change happened under Reagan. Where I live in NC Republicans are a very small minority; Independents are far greater.
Agree.
Just thot of this. A very good book is ” The Big Rich. The Rise and Fall of the Greatest Texas Oil Fortunes”.
I learned a ton about Texas but more about how those folks think. A unique culture that spans across race, IMO.
As an aside note; I worked on a lot of Murchison properties and shipped tons of gas thru Southern Union. Fun, heady times.
Texas does not even rank in the top ten most conservative states. Every major metropolitan area is left wing liberal.
Austin is San Francisco light.
Visited Austin area (relatives) a few years ago… wearing my Trump hat while visiting some touristy sites.. lots of ‘odd’ looks… my Sister-in-law urged me to NOT wear my hat… no go.
Unfortunately, most every major metropolitan area in every state is left wing, I wonder why? Jk. I know why, and it’s a shame.
See,

Nikki Haley will continue to help Democrats in anyway she can.
I wonder how much money she is being paid! We’ll see after the election where she buys her next house!
Bernie walked away from the 2016 Democrat primaries with a $600,000 vacation home. I wonder where Nikki’s will be located. Probably $900,000 now due to inflation.
You gotta expect a change. All the people bailing from their blue hell holes but bringing their leftist values with them.
North Carolina is purple; same reason.
Yes, look at Commifornia, everything Newsome has done, expels the Democratic residents. Failing power grid, forest fires, dam removal, homelessness, crapping in the streets…etc. All of these ignores issues is what a politician runs on, as their platform for the campaign. By ignoring these issues, the Democratic voters leave and move to red states.
Then, there is room for the new residents, the illegal aliens. Rinse and repeat.
I am slow!
Never dawned on me Newsome et al are deliberately running out the populous knowing a lot of them will destroy the very places to where they escape?!
Indeed.
The Dumbasspora is a a deliberate effort to spread Locusts across the land.
TX is purple. Most of us on here have known that. Maybe it’s 20% of TX that is in denial
Do you KNOW that or did the media tell you that? In Colorado they say we are a blue state, even though I am in one of the bluest counties and saw mostly Trump signs in 2020 (and that was when people were actually afraid to put them up because someone might think badly of them!)
But when you look into our voter rolls and see them including 16-year-olds and centenarians who don’t know their gender and a 118-year-old (hint: on Wikipedia the oldest person in the world is 116) then you get the idea who these “blue voters” are….
Well said!!
Voters; about the same in Florida. Never Trumpers, old money and old trust fund boomers.
Tallahassee-elected grifters; about the same in Florida. Jeb! boys (please clap)
I’ve always heard that the oil money in Texas is a corrupting influence on the State Republican party. As is the cheap labor that illegal immigration provides. Throw in the Bush family and their connection to the east coast establishment….
Yes, I think the Federal Reserve bank of Dallas, is the number one bank for the Federal Reserve. Lots of dough, down there, Atlanta’s bank is second, but don’t quote me.
Now throw in Cartel Cash…
You don’t really have to say Oil Money.
It’s Big Money and it doesn’t matter where it comes from.
To some extent, yes, oil has influence but also because a whole lot of Texans derive their living from it directly or indirectly.
Haley is so vile. I do not undestand what she is getting out of this other than money. She is a rattlesnake.
Money is all of it! She can be bought!
Is she even eligible to run, or did the Kenyan overwrite the rules? Still haven’t seen a viable Birth Certificate Still haven’t heard anyone remembering him from Columbia!!
I wonder how these people in this picture feel about her affairs? Since the two men signed affadavits which were published, I would think she’d be ashamed and take herself out of the running.
No one cares about that stuff any more. Pretty normal behavior these days.
its not just the affair — she prostituted herself to those men for votes.
I don’t know the split in NC but our Republican Party is 80% RINO and 20% RINO.
Ha ha
Yes! That’s why I’ve given up calling Tillis’ office, and Chuck Edwards office, it feels like I’m beating my head against a brick wall.
Tillis is one of Mitch’s bitches
cute!
I live in Collin County, TX, with a population of 1.1+ MILLION People or about 700,000 voters.
It is like most places these days with respect to Politics.
There are voters and there are the candidates presented to them on election day. The monied class of the Texas RNC is still in the drivers seat when it comes to appointing the candidates. The big reason the monied class maintains the reins of power is out right voter laziness. For example, the Texas Retired Teachers Association is a descent bunch of folks that does a really good job of accurately publishing issues and they even publish election dates … unlike the RNC and DNC that wait until the last minute to advertise the election beyond campaign signs on the side of the road WITH NO DATES. In the latest TRTA News letter … Tim Lee, the main lobbyist, stated that ONLY 18% of Texas voters participated in the 2022 Elections.
It only takes blocks of a few 100 votes to tip an election WITHOUT CHEATING, with a low voter turn out.
In 2018, Allan West lasted all of a few months as the leader of the Texas RNC because he actually dared to recruit candidates interested in the voters and the advertised elections. He even dared to influence, the supposedly “non-partisan” local elections, by publishing voter guides. The Bush folks got him fired and even spawned a fake DUI vs his wife to help remove him because he put real live good people in place at the local level in place of the preferred republicans … note local level = school boards, mayors, county commissioners, local judges, state representatives, sheriffs, DA’s, bond issues, state constitutional amendments, et al.
To be honest, there is a sentence in the TRTA News Letter by Tim Lee that says it all … “the primaries in Texas ARE THE ELECTION”.
Then there is the fact the 18% of the dog is deciding everything at the LOCAL LEVEL, which is where MAGA begins.
So, do not tell me about the 20% Tail wagging the 80% of the Dog with a turn out of 18% in 2022 and in 2023 it was a whopping 7% on 7 November … until the rest of the voters gets off their ass to vote.
I’ve lived in TX for 12 years and have lived in 8 other states.
Texas has the most “mini elections” I have ever seen. It is nothing to have a vote for a single issue – or you THINK it is a single issue only to get there and find you also have to vote on judges or constitutional amendments. At one point, I could find a ballot online easily, not so in the last election and that was the one with the amendments!!! Most of which you must know something about to be able to vote the way you want it to go.
It is always hard for a “newbie” to get good election information and it is as hard in Texas as the worst other state I’ve lived in. And by good information is it takes time to know who to believe – who is giving out halfway accurate information.
The one thing Texas does right in my area is that there are multiple polls and I can vote at any of them. That is good for convenience, not sure about election integrity.
The grassroots loved Allen West. Which basically means those “in charge” hated him. As anywhere else.
I would give my left tooth for a shot of Whiskey. I have summer teeth. some are there and some aint

Stay outta dat Bush!
Whatever happened to the Texas protest? Seems to have fallen off the face of the news, even conservative news. Maybe because Gregg Phillips and Catherine Engelbrecht went to Eagle Pass and found nothing much there and said that although the border does need to be closed, this looks like a psyop?
I’ll take Chip Roy over 99% of the GOP members of Congress. Dan Crenshaw is a better example of a RINO.
He’s (Chip Roy) just better at it.
Chip Roy was supportive of Paxton’s impeachment. He is a blowhard and born in Maryland.
And went on a major angry rant after voting for McCarthy as Speaker. Horrible. And supports DeSantis. Here’s the rant, as posted on Truth Social by Joe Dan:

Voting in Houston’s March 5 primary elections: What to know
Primary election day in Texas, the precursor to the much-anticipated 2024 general election in November, is quickly approaching. We’ve rounded up your most common questions, from who is on the ballot to where and how to vote. New this year, Harris County will hold its first ever joint primary. Read more below about what that means.
I suppose a joint primary is about as RINO as you can get 😛
But…otherwise here is a good guide to inform you about the Houston March 5 primary elections.
If you knew the 2020 election was rigged and it’s objectives. Would you be exporting oil from near Corpus Christi, Texas? And, what would the partner Berry Group do when they found out.
Carlyle Group quits $1 billion U.S. oil export project
By Collin Eaton
Updated October 18, 2019
https://s.yimg.com/ny/api/res/1.2/4TL.wWwrZKLCz7kSX3o7Vg–/YXBwaWQ9aGlnaGxhbmRlcjt3PTE2MDA7aD0xMDY2O2NmPXdlYnA-/https://media.zenfs.com/en-US/reuters.com/4825bcf6f0205589af837c53170196de
By Collin Eaton
HOUSTON (Reuters) – Carlyle Group <CG.O> said on Friday it had dropped out as a stakeholder in Lone Star Ports LLC, which proposed a $1 billion crude oil export terminal near Corpus Christi, Texas.
Sean Strawbridge, chief executive of the Port of Corpus Christi, said Carlyle notified the port on Oct. 8 it would no longer proceed with its investment. That left construction company Berry Group as the sole backer.
Carlyle said in a statement Berry Group was “now the sole owner of Lone Star,” but did not comment on why it dropped out of the project, which it said continues to be actively developed.
Lone Star in September filed a lawsuit against Carlyle in a Texas state court, alleging the private equity firm breached its contract to jointly pursue the project and asking the court to award it full ownership. The lawsuit also sought unspecified damages.
The project was one of at least nine crude oil export terminals proposed for the U.S. Gulf Coast to load U.S. shale oil onto supertankers that carry around 2 million barrels apiece. Carlyle was competing with projects in the same area proposed by commodities trader Trafigura AG and refiner Phillips 66 <PSX.N>.
“Interest in Harbor Island remains at an all-time high,” Strawbridge said. The port will continue dredging in the area to make it more attractive to export crude, he said.
Lone Star and Berry did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
The U.S. shale boom has prompted a surge in oil exports, which last week hit 3.25 million barrels per day (bpd) and continued to fuel a race to build new export terminals.
However, only one or two of the proposed projects may get built in coming years, with offshore terminals proposed by pipeline operator Enterprise Products Partners LP <EPD.N> and Phillips 66 having the best chance of moving forward, said Sandy Fielden, an energy analyst at financial services company Morningstar.
Investors also have grown wary of global oil demand and have questioned “if the world is ready to absorb that amount of additional exports,” Fielden said.
Carlyle’s project had faced hurdles including a months-long delay after regulators called for a full environmental review. It also faced fierce competition with Trafigura, which launched its project earlier, with an easier path to regulatory approval and fewer objections from environmentalists.
Carlyle earlier this year had been looking to sell a 25% stake in the project with companies that operate U.S. pipelines and storage terminals for $625 million, a source familiar with the matter had said.
Enterprise signed long-term agreements with oil major Chevron Corp <CVX.N> that advanced its proposed offshore crude export project near Houston, it said in late July, making it the first to make a final investment decision on a proposed deepwater port.

Bush is connected to the Carlyle Group.
Interesting Point about the Carlyle Group … besides being connected to the Bush Family, it’s board of directors and major company officers are ALL ex-major US Government cabinet level appointees. In the beginning they are ALL ex-Bush Cabinet members.
Glenn Youngkin a Carlyle Groupie.
“Investors also have grown wary of global oil demand and have questioned “if the world is ready to absorb that amount of additional exports,” Fielden said.”
Are they worried the price might decrease?
I’m now in favor of a “Carried Interest” tax. 50% should shut them up
They look like nice people. I suppose that to Eve, Satan looked like an attractive snake, too.
Too bad. I used to trust many of the GOP politicians, who turned out to be frauds, supporting the Democrat economic and cultural priorities, in lock step. In fact, nearly 100% of the GOP politicians that I once supported, prior to 2015 or 2017, turned out to be best buds with Satan and his cohorts (a.k.a. authoritarian socialists, fascists, Marxists, Democrats, all birds of a different feather who flock together, one way or another – or just $corrupt$, not that the difference matters much).
But again, it’s a nice picture of nice looking people. The Devil’s in the details, and God will judge those details, too!
I am uncertain as to whether Musk should be in that pic. I think, for the most part, that he is really trying to be honest.
In a very real sense Donald Trump is the RINO And one could also even say in a very real sense Donald Trump is the CINO And these are good things.
Yes, he is more Republican than Democrat, and more conservative than ‘liberal’, but Trump, like Reagan, is mostly a Populist.
As Lindsey Williams wrote of Reagan on November 12, 1984, so too it is with Trump.
To explain the fundamental change of political philosophy now going on – and Reagan’s grasp of it – I can do no better than repeat my column of November 1975 when Reagan challenged President Ford and came close the following year to taking the nomination from a sitting president:
Not many political pundits have yet grasped the reason why the former unionist-actor-governor might move forward as the exponent of this new mood.
The significant fact of Reagan’s candidacy is that he operates from center ground. He is not -repeat, not – a “classic” conservative as the east coast columnists like to declare. As if that label is some kind of epithet.
It is interesting to note that the real conservatives such as Senators Barry Goldwater and John Tower have endorsed President Gerald Ford. Our non-elected president is a true conservative moving farther right each week.
Reagan is a new breed of populist – a politician described by William Safire in his book “The New Language of Politics” as “one attuned to the needs of the people.””
And that is one of my favorite things about President Trump!
Although conservatism sounds good, my observation is it doesn’t do well in the real world where we truly do need compromise at times (the real kind, not the kind where R’s just roll over). I don’t know what label to wear. Populist doesn’t sound right to me as it implies the candidate just does whatever the most people want. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing but I am not sure how it plays out long term.
I’ve lived in Texas for 12 years. For several years I was a member of the largest Republican Women’s Club in America. These numbers sound completely accurate to me. I’d like to add, based on the club participation, that much of the leadership local on up is older. There were many events where I felt like a spring chicken at 50 something years old! I would still say that the local RNC is much more conservative than the leadership of the state. Even some of the RNC working at the state level is more conservative than those in the actual Senate and House.
I’ve been quite disappointed by Texas leadership. The people are very nice and I think the local clubs are held in sway by the leadership further up. So much of our government looks better from the outside. For example, in Texas, you can lose your home within 2 years of not paying property taxes unlike other states like Florida where they simply put a lien on the property so back taxes are paid when it is sold. I happened to own properties in both states in 2020, the first time I ever failed to pay those taxes on time. Texas slaps a 20% fee on top in 5 months and you start getting nasty letters in 7 months. I’ve owned property in several other states so I simply was unprepared.
I followed the state legislative session closely in 2021. The grassroots RNC had 8 objectives – important items like preventing child mutilation. Governor Abbott, however, thought preventing owners from chaining their dogs in their own backyards was more important. That’s when I truly knew he was controlled opposition.
Don’t ask me about the current border thing. Maybe it just got to a boiling point? I don’t know but I don’t trust Abbott at all. I hope it is Ken Paxton driving that train.
BTW, I have kept a lifesize cutout of President Trump on my front door for the last 7 years. Everyone who comes to my door loves it other than one single couple who simply ignored it. About 50% are hispanic because I live in a county that is largely hispanic. Support for President Trump is strong and it hasn’t wavered. People just don’t post signs and stuff as much because “they” made it dangerous.
You know it is interesting to note ( distressing more like it ) how many States are OWNED by family politcal machines – Bushes in Texas , McCain in Arizona , Biden in Delaware , Manchin in WV , used to be Kennedy in Mass , and Cuomo ( Mario ) NY – and probably some others – they all smother any competition at the outset whenever possible

Kristina Karamo Targeted After Uncovering Potential Fraud Related to Ronna Romney McDaniel
https://joehoft.com/breaking-exclusive-kristina-karamo-targeted-after-uncovering-potential-fraud-related-to-ronna-romney-mcdaniel/
The RINO problem is bad here. The Paxton impeachment exposed many of them, and the chasms within the party are VERY apparent, especially at the local level.
2022 Texas Republican Primary… This is really all you need to know. George P. Bush was smoked.
Ken Paxton – 68%
George P Bush – 32%
Condeleeza Rice…🙄
at this point in history, the only poll that matters is who is counting the votes
I would bet Tennessee is exactly the 80/20 but in representation probably 40/60. We had a child mutilation law until it was leaked out, we had the Governor and RINOs attempt a red flag law last year, our schools produce kids that read and do math at 30% to grade, we have open primaries to keep RINOs winning, and on and on.
Bush League Republicans.
How many of those 1 in 5 are CA “Republican” refugees?
Another consideration that I believe has yet to be fully realized is the changing dynamic of the Latino voting bloc.
As a native Texan & Hispanic who has about 90% of his family in state, we are now at about a 50/50 split of conservative vs. liberal. This is quite a shift from what it was a decade ago.
This said, it’s my opinion that Texas will remain Red for the foreseeable future. I think the constant drum beat of “Texas is going to turn blue” or “Texas is purple” is a political/media narrative being told to create a false expectation for Arizona & Colorado type voting corruption.
In the infamous words of the moronic “breakfast taco”, “couch cover wearing” first lady…”Si Se Pod-way”!
Why is there so much emphasis on “college educated” people? Many of those that go to college today get worthless degrees such as women studies, some type of “minority” studies, under water basket weaving, etc. A lot of high school grads sit on more smarts than quite a few college grads. College degrees don’t necessarily mean you’re smart, intelligent or have any common sense. We are constantly bombarded with this bull that if you have any kind of “college” degree, this automatically makes you “smarter”.
Credentials are overrated.
Bars, stars, degrees.
I have a 2 year degree that I got in 1972 at a Electronic Trade school that I would put up against most any of today’s schools. In the 1990’s I got another degree in electronics that could never hold a candle to that Electronics degree in the 70’s. The course was dumbed down! The Math in the 70’s school was Trig and Calculus heavy. At that time, Penn Tech was the number 2 school in Electronics in the nation, only RCA’s school was tougher! Most all the grads in the Tech school were offered jobs as long as the Military obligation was taken care of. At that time, the Reserves and Nat’l Guards were full! (no openings)
I remember those days. the australian crawl vs dog paddling.
Polls are meant to pave the way for rigged elections.
