No BETO!!!

They passed Obamacare repeal.
They passed the tax cuts.
They pass the Defense Authorization Bill.
They passed Kate’s Law and legislation targeting sanctuary cities.
They passed class action lawsuit reform.
They passed legislation to provide more oversight over unionized federal employees.
They passed infrastructure bills and regulatory reform legislation.
They passed hundreds of other less visible bills.

And the avg American cared about which part of this? The tax cuts for sure after that not much else. Trump took care of Obamacare on his own by getting rid of the individual mandate. The House got very little accomplished in two years. Immigration was a huge part of Trump's campaigning and they got zero accomplished on that.

The House eliminated the individual mandate entirely in the tax bill, effective in 2019. Trump expanded the number of people who could file a form to apply for an exemption to the individual mandate in 2018, but many people are still not eligible to apply for an exemption and will have to wait until 2019 when the tax bill kills it completely.

Since when did conservatives stop caring about Kate’s Law, ending sanctuary cities, increasing pay for the armed services, beefing up the military, clamping down on frivolous lawsuits, and decreasing regulations on infrastructure development and energy transportation?

Honest question: can you call yourself anything you want on the ballot? I assume you can since Robert Francis O’Rourke called himself Beto on this years ballot. Maybe John Cronyn should work up a convenient nickname for 2020... maybe “Make-you-rich Cronyn” or “Free-everything Cornyn”. That outta flip a few blue votes

We need to find someone good to beat Cornyn in the primary.

This. Take a page from Beto: find someone younger, more appealing to the middle, and more charismatic to pull some of the independents/libertarians.

3rd Court of Appeals...slaughtered
4th Court of Appeals...slaughtered
5th Court of Appeals...slaughtered
14th Court of Appeals...slaughtered
(31 out of 32 Appeals seats went to Dems)
Tarrant turning blue.
Many urban counties turned much deeper blue.
Conservative Rep Matt Rinaldi...lost
Moderate-Right Rep Ron Simmons...lost
Moderate-Right Rep Rodney Anderson...lost

Statewide races like Lt Gov and AG, etc... were close but held on, but at least they won.

If it is the younger voter it seems to me the parents of these young voters are at fault. Bring them up in they way they ought to go, dont let the "higher" learning institutions bring them up for ya. Start talkin politics at a younger age with your children cause common since and history of failed politics arent being taught.

Common sense and sound logic doesn't belong in a good political bashing.
