RDS fought Disney and won. He posted recently about Romney telling him he shouldn’t do that. Romney was the typical hold your nose and pick the R in the voting booth. What RDS has that no other Republican has is being a very successful governor, both regarding economics and culture. He also took the state budget and made it smaller every year. Frankly, he’s the perfect candidate to bridge the two major wings of the Republican Party and bring all together except perhaps the most extreme at both ends. I saw a poster on X yesterday who said RDS was a neo con. Moron.
Guess who sided with Disney.

I don’t think you get it. Nobody wants your “wing” of the Republican Party anymore.

Colleagues raised concerns to leadership and were called racist. This is an example of common sense being pushed aside for suicidal empathy. Putting children at risk and protecting someone with violent tendencies.

And now attorneys will fight to keep this guy out of prison.

Independents from places like Texas will not like the end results of the blue tsunami. They might love it now, but it doesn’t end well. I give it about 3-4 years before the inevitable decline happens in those areas too. This stuff happens every day in sanctuary cities.

Sanctuary cities protect criminals over citizens.

2 million New Democrat voters in Texas! LOL


MAN REPUBLICANS BLEW IT. DESPITE THEIR FULL CONTROL OF THE ENTIRETY OF STATE GOVERNMENT - AND MANY COUNTIES WITH THE BIGGEST SWINGS AGAINST Rs (INCLUDING RURAL COUNTIES ACROSS WEST TEXAS) - REPUBLICANS ALLOWED MASSIVE CHEATING IN THE 2026 ELECTIONS IN TEXAS HELD WITH A GOP PRESIDENT WITH A 37% APPROVAL RATING. THE APPROVAL RATING WAS NOT WHY DEM VOTE SHARE INCREASED, IT WAS ALL CHEATING.

ALSO CHEATING IN ARIZONA, WHERE DEMS WON EVERY LAST ELECTION.

DONALD TRUMP HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH ANY OF THIS.

ALSO THE SETH KESHEL SPECIAL DID NOT INVOLVE SETH PICKING THE GOP LOSING ZERO (0) SENATE SEATS ... HE CORRECTLY PREDICTED REPUBLICANS LOSING 9 SUCH SEATS.

All caps post. Very Trumpian of you! :ROFLMAO:

Donald Trump had a lot to do with it, as did the useless Senate Republicans. In Texas It wasn't just Paxton. Why would a Republican vote for any Republican when the Bush family and Cornyn fought against a US Senate Republican nominee? Lots of contributions to TX losses. If I wasn't a Republican diehard in TX, I would think WTF would I vote for that party? I think it's weird in a mid-term election to have increased voters, but complaining about 20 mil additional voters over 37 states doesn't cut it for me, especially when we have the telephone game going on and some people willfully misrepresent that 20 mil gain as being only in TX. Crazy! That aside, bare minimum we do need verified government ID that is different for citizens and non-citizens and stop automatically registering people when they go get a Drivers License at the local DMV. The Save Act is essentially an 80/20 issue.

You guys are morons, you get your info from RW ******** sites. Dems had same number of votes in Teas in 2026 as they did in 2024. It was the Repubs that had over a million less votes in 226 than they did in 2024. You look like a moron claiming votes were stolen.

Looks like you also have Vax rage along with your lover Icky.

Such anger one week after your joyful Tuesday. I believe you need a mental health day to address your anger issues.

Yeah, Texas turned to crap just like that. 165 straight victories became a 10 percentage loss overnight.

Texans like you appear to be too stupid to choose each race so all Republicans lost. Congrats.

It’s going to get worse, if our teaching institutions continue to churn out a product that limits critical thinking skills.
How ironic that you three cult members only repost slop and RW crap because you lack the critical thinking skills to know that ******** is ********. I hope you are not Illini Alumni.

Kenny needs to learn the English language a little better, but that sentiment is held by many people at this juncture.


I think the main problem we are running into is that Rs actually need to shed the voters with priorities like yours and add ones with priorities like mine.

I’m not saying that to be mean, I’m saying that because elections are not won with the most hardcore partisans but are with the center.

You quite literally spent the entire election posting about Talarico and transgenderism, literally the single most “emotionally charged” issue for Rs. Why are you such a twit?

People voting on reason vote about gas prices and tariffs … guess we explained things well.

It is called vindication, TJ. And at this rate I will get a lot more of it in 2028.

I’m still laughing that Dems vote on emotion when they are voting about high prices directly tied to Trump policies and Rs were voting on reason when their big theme was the trans bogeyman.

I mean, talk about self delusion.

People voting in Dems based on their thoughts around high prices has nothing to do with reason. It is delusional. If voters were most concerned about high prices, and that was the leading cause of the shift from red to blue, that's crazy. Can you think of a state that moved from red to blue and saw affordability improve?

Messaging from the GOP this election season was horrible, I agree.

They are responding to specific policies from the Trump Admin that facilitated increases in prices and hoping Democrats do better. Will they? Probably not. But at least they won't fail in the same way!
