Knock yourself out. You don't have to be a genius to figure out that guy couldn't tell you what he had for breakfast without lying.

Laughable is trying to deny that or hide behind throwing dirt elsewhere. That's the same mentality that led to 330+ million people left to choose between an acid bath or a dumpster fire.

As someone who is a moderate (I agree with certain issues on both sides) when it comes to politics, I have first hand seen what liberal politics does to a state (I'm looking at you California and Illinois).Anyway...let the butt hurt responses begin in 3, 2, 1....

People have the right to move where they want and have whatever political or personal views they want to have. It's not your place to say what others can and can't think. It's actually nobody's place. As long as they aren't doing anything illegal leave them alone

I'll not knock myself out but thanks anyway.

I was merely stating that only opinion had been posted. Don't need your link.

I've stated here several times I am not a Trump supporter but as I noted he is not being treated fairly by the press. I'm sick of it. The press is one sided ... that's not a positive American trait. The majority of the press' agenda is blatant and it is not just Trump but anyone not part of the Dem Party. Its overwhelming to the Left. As an "Independent" it should infuriate you.

My rail on the Clinton Syndicate was just to highlight these discrepancies, not a deflection.

BTW, I am genius. I am not registered to any political party but am quite socialist shy. Libertarian might describe me but many of the official Libertarian Party stances I don't agree with. Capitalism is good (it made the US ultra-strong). Conservative fiscally and some socially. Anti federalist on a lot of matters.

Your intention is to impede the basic rights of other Americans? Do you hear yourself?

I don't care if transplants move to Texas and bring their liberal politics here. I think it's great to have a diversity of opinions. What I personally don't like is this is this belief that Texas itself needs to change to fit the rest of the country because they think of it as some over the top racist right wing state. And I know they mean the culture, not so much the politics.

I was watching the Richard Linklater film called Everybody Wants Some, it's a spiritual sequel to the great film Dazed and Confused. It's a great film that embodies the Texas life that I knew growing up even though the film takes place a generation before mine. Anyways, to bring it back to my point, in the film the only person that exhibits any racist and obnoxious violent tendencies is a northern transplant from Detroit. In the film, he shouts a racial slur to a Mexican person. Out of all the supposed jockish Texans in the film, the only one remotely showcasing the stereotypes subscribed to us are transplants.

This has been my experience in real life too. A lot of the instances of racial outbursts I've encountered have been from transplants, usually from up north and surprisingly for some odd reason from people of NY state. Everyone else I've known may have their own un-PC opinions but would find it utterly rude to showcase them in public whereas the yankee transplants that move down here are uninhibited in being openly vocal about their beliefs.

I just want to put it into context the next time people believe these media narratives about Texas and think that the state desperately needs a change of culture and politics.

Many non-biased outlets and outlets with both Con and Lib bias have repeatedly called into question his honesty. That's not an attack - it's simply a question.

So... you're "genius" or A genius?

I'm Texan. Whether I'm in Nepal or LA. I was born and raised in the state and my whole family is in the state. I care about it and will be moving back to it soon. So I don't get why you think that I cannot comment about my native state just because I've been in Cali the last few years?

LOL, I call California Cali because I am not a picky native Californian that hates it when other people call California Cali.
