Tulsi yes. Shes independent and thinks for herself. Nikki Haley no. She stooped to being a Trump stooge.

Just because she was our UN rep doesn’t make her a stooge. She didn’t blow him like everybody in the current administration is doing with that old dotard fool in the WH.

No, she absolutely did. Just listen to her speech at the virtual Republican convention.

So what, did you see the flipflop Harris did from her comments about Biden’s racism during their primaries and what she says now?
Haley & Trump are not friends, so y’all need to get over The Orange Guy.

That’s called a deflection argument.

You didn’t respond to what I said, you commented on something irrelevant. I never commented on Kamala Harris because I don’t like her any more than you do.

I don’t think everything the leftist value is bad, but I will say some of the way things are being implemented is very folly to say the least and much of it is only built on half truths while covering up the other very important details to support their own propaganda.

I do believe they have desire to fix very real problems, but the issue is the methodology they’re implementing is a bit unforgiving and overbearing upon the middle-class and especially business owners. New York is very similar in this regard.

It’s easy to look at your current model and point out all the bull****…and Texas does have plenty of it… but I try to becareful to depict that the grass is always greener on the other side.. ..Abbott isn’t my mascot by any measure but I personally feel many of us have it much better than we think we do. We just don’t realize it because we haven’t seen how bad it can really get.

You are talking about methodology and you're using anecdotal evidence? That's like a person in jail for domestic abuse discussing parenting..

California is doing fine and will have a $31 billion budget surplus -its universities like Cal-Berkeley- Stanford and Cal-Tech make a mockery of our higher education.

Party politics is a function of race and education. If you're white and didn't go beyond high school you are most likely a Republican. Texas isnt a great state for education.


Democrats make the mistake of assuming Hispanics all vote Democratic but once again those with less education and poorer jobs are more likely to vote GOP. They dont read Forbes and the many publications that say we need more immigration to keep up with China (google it) - uneducated people worry "they will take my job"


It wasn't always like this- before 2000 the GOP was the party with higher educational attainment.



Texas will stay red.
