I think in 28 a good Republican candidate wins Texas. Even a staunch Republican like me has said all along that Paxton was a terrible candidate. He was a good AG but bad Senate candidate. I voted Hunt in the primary cause I wasn't gonna vote for Cornyn.

Texas only stays blue If we nominate crap.

While the statewide races don't come up till 2030 theyre 4 year terms

But you start by getting back control of the Texas House

Senate we have it now.
we're not gonna lose it
get control the House;

The governor, Lieutenant governor, statewide, can't do shite

First things first,, the State House
And see which candidates for statewide help the candidates that are running for House win their races
and then you have a selection then the primary can choose on results

Owl, do you think there's a front runner to take control of The Republican Party in Texas?

Not a front-running but likelihoods.

Huffines: his goal all along is to be governor, and he has plenty of cash; he doesn't have to raise it

Buckingham was the next governor in waiting; folks aren't gonna give up on that. She's gonna have to figure out how to do it without having patrons

See how the Senate goes; somebody from that ends up being the Republican spokesperson, the face of the Republican Party in 2027 they're going to have a chance

There are a handful of possibilities: two or three
Kohlkorst , Hughes, Campbell

Mayes, Middleton self-funded an AG's race; he could self-fund another or maybe run for Lt.Gov which is the REAL power in Texas

Well, considering the number of gun control bills the newly elected Texas house members filed already I don’t think they’re long for the state house.

Before someone pipes off - yes I know they haven’t been seated. However, in Texas the bill filing window for the next session is already open.

As a Texan, we will have to see how this plays out. I’m not convinced Texas really turned blue vs being angry at the current state of affairs.

If trump works with the democrats (and likewise the democrats work with trump) and improvements in inflation and prices occur, we will have to see who actually gets credit and is rewarded.

If the term is a bloodbath on where the country should go, and nothing changes, I suspect trump will be blamed as he was for midterms, but don’t underestimate the democrats ability to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They could try to push things too far left and bite themselves in the foot.

It will be an interesting couple of years, but it would appear that Trump is ramping up to fight instead of some level of compromise.

You should be.

The Establishment spent 20 years dumping hundreds of billions of dollars into flipping TX. And then, like morons, TX absorbed all the fleeing California companies and citizens, thinking that somehow these people wouldn't try to "blue" things. That was a huge miscalculation and the same reason I beg our State politicians here to keep these companies the hell out of Oklahoma.

See Colorado and now Arizona. See that once the Dims get their footing, they put safeguards and safety rails in place to make sure that they retain that power. AZ is putting up a good fight but the stuff in the megacities will eventually overpower all.

Geographically, Oklahoma touches New Mexico, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas and Texas. Six states. When I came here some fourish decades ago, we touched one blue State- New Mexico. Now, New Mexico, Kansas, Colorado and Texas are blue. Our list of allies grows thin.

Only if the democrats govern from the middle. If they start pushing trannies, killing oil and gas, and letting illegals swarm again the swing voters will swing back.

While everyone is entitled to their opinion, there are a lot of factors that led to this election


LWhy is it that people can't accept that it was as simple as we had a horrible slate of candidates, which allowed the Democrats to keep funding


It's as simple as what I said to you people from the beginning:
paxton was a shite candidate. He was the top of the ticket when you have that much dead weight at the top of the ticket , you lose

and then Gov Wheels flip flopping on data centers and vouchers pissing off the teachers union /Rural ISDs

then patrick pissing off the Independents with his gummie ban


Thats is the reason as i was saying all along

And I'm not asking anybody to say Oh yeah, you were right but I was and none of you would accept it

why can't I still be right? The reasons I was telling you then are still the reasons . paxton losing didn't change the reasons, but paxton AND the reasons are GONE

TEXAS is not blue. It's not because of Californians; it's not because of Mexicans

it's only because the Republican leadership in the state has grown fat, lazy, arrogant, and were always stupid

If Republicans are so concerned about losing voters then maybe they should consider pushing policies that are actual popular with the masses instead of just scare tactics. Or try the usual, "The democrats, immigrants, blacks, gays, trannies, etc. are coming for your children!!!" and see how that works out.

Worry about the things you can control, and not the ones you can't. Too much to worry about already

Texas is blue in 2028 because Gina knows moderation is her key to a second term & delivering the state long-term. It’s the old adage about not putting a frog in boiling water, just put him in cool water and turn it up one degree at a time.


There is zero moderate about her. She has started her socialist agenda already with Space X. Texas voters and people of Texas look like dumb rubes that even us in Louisiana are laughing at.

Democrats have zero plan to do anything on what they campaigned on and all you will see is vitriol and impeachment and show for the 1,000 time, that Democrat voters are nothing more than useful idiots.

Watch how affordability gets even less under Democratic rule.
