I joyfully report from Texas, that our dear Guv Greg and his minions may have shot themselves in the foot. In order to create "R" districts they had to move some "R"s from extremely safe districts and this makes not only five districts more likely to be "R" than "D", it weakens several previously strong "R"s.

AND then it turns out Texans, as well as Americans, don't like the Trump v2 administration. In several special elections, "D"s have won where Trump won by 10 or 15. Hispanics are now longer solid "R". People report there are long "D" lines in the primary polling locations while the "R" queue is mysteriously empty.

"does anyone remember the State of the Union last week?" The one that he said he ended wars between Iran and Israel? The one he said he was a peacemaker? Yeah, I remember that part. God DAMN that lying motherf***** and every Rs who supports him.

A lot of Texans hate Cruz and Paxton. 😁

Of course they do. Without all the gerrymandering, Texas is actually a blue state.

Blue or at least purple. Same situation as Kentucky, governor and lt governor are both Democrats now. Gerrymandering has gotten totally out of hand.

Dems should put up an anti gerrymandering constitutional amendment. It would certainly put pressure on red states to sign it, and if they didn't, it's a grand campaign issue.

It was close in 2020 POTUS...40 electoral votes in play in a state which split 12m votes in 2020 52% Trump and 47% Biden, a difference of 600,000 in a state of 18 million potential voters.

With the current shift of the Independents, Moderate Republicans, Hispanics and other groups it could interesting in Texas very quickly.

And our Dear Leader seems determined that all engines full ahead is the best method of pleasing his base (true) but I doubt there are many NON-Yes Men & Women around the table to provide insight on how that's not gonna play well.
