A big part of this is how the state GOP responds to this. If they go with the crazies and grifters like the AZ GOP did with TPUSA then it will stay blue

Trump won by 14 pts in TX just 2 years ago. I wouldn’t totally write off the state.

Texas’s electorate still leans Republican in party identity, but independents made it competitive in 2026. The latest election voter survey gives this breakdown:

| Political identification | Share of Texas voters |
| Republican | 38% |
| Democrat | 33% |
| Independent or something else | 29% |

When independents are grouped with the party they lean toward, it becomes 48% Republican, 45% Democratic, and 7% unaffiliated. These describe 2026 voters, not all Texas residents.

The challenge most states has are the voter age groups

Ages 18-29 Democratic vote 77% Republican vote 21%

Ages 30-44 Democratic vote 62%. Republican vote 36%

See the problem?

Stephen Miller is probably the most influential person now regarding what transpires prior to the 2028 election.

“The other side that is gaining power,wants us dead”

I’m having dark thoughts,really dark.
The only viable Republican candidates I see for ‘28 presidential election that could appeal to independents and moderate Democraps would be Marco Rubio,possibly DeSantis.

They will be assassinated in short order,The radical L is on the cusp of total control of the U.S. and they are not going to allow anyone to stop them.
They tried every which way to stop Trump,Charlie Kirk was killed as he was a threat to their radical agenda.
The only Republican candidate that won’t get wacked will be some RINO candidate and they’ll allow that for appearances.

Kamala was a really bad candidate and didn't even run in a primary. Trump beat Biden by 5 pts in 2020. I think that's probably more indicative of where the state was at 6 years ago.

all that to get in a shot at Kirk's group, who were not "grifters" when he was alive.

One of your allies fixed that though.

Why do you keep sharing your opinion when every one you've shared prior to this has been proven wrong ?

Yesterday you were panicked about Trump allowing Texas to open up the border, and before that evening he came out and made it clear it wasn't happening,

yet you and your fellow pussies were all upset about the possibility of Texas being overrun by Hondurans

and now you spewing even more stupidity; you haven't even been right once

Yep, I get that. He and his ilk deserve the blame for what happened last Tuesday.

I think patrick really is who to blame although paxson's going to get the most heat because he was the visible one

Texas for the past 12 years patrick has ruled like a tyrant, and his goal was always to get the most attention to grandstand

Again, he was a sportscaster he was a radio show guy
He's not a politician who wants to govern, promote an ideology, a platform

He's in show business

Reagan was the only one( show biz) who had any sense of responsibility to the office and the people

Perhaps, but everyone knew that the demographics would eventually push Texas and Georgia to the left. Add Mass illegal immigration from the previous administration, and whatever this group will allow this go round, and it's pretty much a done deal

I don’t blame Paxton at all. He was a sorry candidate, but somebody told him to run and waste all that money. So he did. Not your money nor your fault that people weren’t stupid enough to vote for you.

I’m hoping you’re right.

With the demographics I just can’t see how it can be overcome at some point unless the Dems start pushing entirely too far and too fast.

enough of them will

the rabid supporters will demand it

There are people and money who want to run for State Rep. Every one of those seats is up in 2 years


A number of the Republicans who lost their seats still have half a million in their campaign accounts

We are starting now... the dead weight,, up top, is gone
alot of theenergy will be focused there,, thats what I call a window of opportunity

RELAX the poli board can focus the outrage on Israel and France

No, that was paxton

the people who had built him up to that point were no longer supporting him because of all the nastiness from the divorce

Dunn,, loony but sincere about the Christian morals banner had been number one backer of paxton and he bailed on him before the primary
