Texas Primary Early Voting: 102% increase in Democrat voters

[Mac1958]

You assume Latinos want to live broke ass poor on Democratic party plantations.

Having a pretty wide variety of colors in my own family and extended family, I can tell you that ignoring minorities and expecting them to suddenly change their minds after generations of conditioning is wishful thinking, at best.

How is cutting taxes and creating good paying jobs ignoring minorities??? How is eliminating jobs killing regulations and re-negotiating shit trade deals ignoring minorities??? WTF are Dem's doing that you consider not ignoring minorities holy crap.

You're assuming that your priorities are exactly the same as theirs.

They're not.

LOL! Moonglow, Texas isn't exactly what you would call a blue state.

Most of the major cities are blue.

Because early voting make you happy does not mean a thing...

Let see on Election Day and if you did not know Texas is a Minority-Majority State which mean there are more minorities than whites in Texas.

You are a moron, I'd ask you to stop but suspect you were born that way. I don't know maybe gene therapy.

A retroactive abortion is the only known cure, unless we start removing some safety labels and make car surfing trendy again.

Reported for trolling, troll..

Don't deflect you stepped in it so now I'm punishing you. Rep policies vs Dem policies, I say Rep policies under Trump are doing HUGE things for minorities while the proposed Dem policies shit all over minorities and keep them poor. You say otherwise so back up your statement.

Good turnout will kill him

Good turn out is what allowed him to crush the moderate asswipe Dewhurst.

If the welfare checks ever stop coming you'd starve to death.

Most people everywhere live in cities, too, Einstein.
You want to ignore a jump of 102% in early Democratic voting with election day just 48 hours away, go ahead, idiot.

I'll tell you what, I'll make you a deal. I'll be more than happy to fully answer your question, but first, perhaps you can tell me if you have any guesses as to why minorities might not be inclined to change generations of thinking and start voting GOP.

Just take a few guesses. I'll answer your question then.

thread cleaned of 5 off topic/trolling posts.


this is politics forum, NOT the badlands.

 

[Reasonable]

Texas senior citizens are pissed about medicare

Texas land owners are pissed about maybe losing their land to a wall

Texas youth arent loving school shootings and seeing nothing being done about them by politicians

Texas may not be Blue but its getting pretty damn Purple day by day ...

Indeed. Even Texans have noticed the GOP have accomplished little to nothing for the American people in a year and half.

 

[westwall]

Texas lmao you people are losing it, Texas will remain red just relax

In the short term, but not the long term. The demographics are changing and the Republicans have made it quite clear they don't want Hispanics in their party.

Trump offered three times as many people DACA protections as the Dems asked for, and the DEMS ran away from it. Seems to me it's the Dems who should be worried about the Hispanic population now.

You mean like the top vote getters behind Trump in Cruz and Rubio who both speak Spanish? Either of these guys as president would have been better than Hillary and better than some of the names I am hearing thrown out from the alt-left side of the Democratic Party.

The socialists will target Texas, this isn't a surprise. They realize the best way to decimate America and turn you into a communist shytehole is to weaken the strongest states who support the Constitution. They can then bring their great "economic strategies" which are bankrupting California and New York into Texas and fook that state up too. All in great effort to have society begging for hand outs and dependency.

Most Hispanic Texans probably have little interest in socialism, especially those who fled it in Cuba to head to America. If Texas goes blue you had better get some serious investigations into voter fraud and dirty tricks. The Chinese communists and the global cuckholds will go to any lengths to usurp the Great American society. In fact, the only thing preventing these dirty animals from succeeding is that Hillary didn't win.

Some really hate America and it's clear. As I've said 1000 times, you Americans better care. Canada is a shytehold with no individual liberty and the greatest number of government workers and sheep in the West You become like us, and the concept of liberty is finished.

You say ' socialists will target Texas, this isn't a surprise. They realize the best way to decimate America and turn you into a communist shytehole' etc. on and on
You're mentioning socialism and communism like they're the same thing and they're not. By the way, I've met a few Canadians as well as Europeans over the years and they all love their socialist medical care. They laugh at us and say stuff like 'only in America' when we talk about health care and how it's so unaffordable here. Granted, USA has some fine medical care, but it's just too unaffordable for many, many people. I myself believe that medical care should not be a purely profit motive industry like it's become. This is a country of, by, and for the people, not of, by, and for the super rich.

They evidently don't see any demographic issues on the horizon.

I don't know how that could be.
.

Whether or not a policy is proper, constitutional or beneficial is not determined by demographics.
If your policies chase demographics, then you are legislating for the wrong reasons.

There is a difference between legislating and communicating. The closest thing any Republican has done to reaching out to minorities was Trump's "what have you got to lose?" blurt. That's it.

I know the GOP doesn't want to play the Identity Politics game that has been so successful for the Dems. And I agree with that sentiment. But that's what minorities are used to, and as long as the GOP ignores that glaring fact, it won't move the needle much. A "come hither" look just ain't gonna cut it.

Communicating doesn't change what legislation means, unless you are lying when you communicate.
Poor policy is poor policy whether or not it makes any particular demographic like you more.

The government's job is to write policy/legislation, not chase demographics.
As long as people attempt to make it any different, we will end up with the useless partisan bickering you hate so much.

[hunarcy]

Not fake news. As reported by the Texas Secretary of State.

Early voting has been going on in Texas for the last two weeks.

Sorry, Trumpanzees. You should have seen this coming when you put the Goon in the White House.

So? Do you think it matters in the general election?

That's all fine. Of course, policy can't be made by people who lose elections. If the GOP is comfortable with the oncoming demographic changes, they have nothing to worry about.

What is right and wrong is seldom a matter of comfort.
Worrying never changed anything.

I am a conservative, and haven't seen a real conservative win an election as long as I have been able to vote.
That doesn't change what I believe nor make the legislation the people who were elected any more effective, beneficial or worthwhile.

When Texas turns blue, the nation is lost.
