Texas Republicans Brace for 2020 Drubbing
August 12, 2019 at 8:43 am EDT By Taegan Goddard



“As bad as it’s been for Texas Republicans lately, some members of the party are warning that 2020 could be even worse,” Politico reports.

“The rash of recent House GOP retirements is just the latest sign of a state party in distress: In last year’s midterms, Democrats flipped a pair of longtime GOP districts, a Democrat came within striking distance of a Senate seat and more than 50 elected Republican judges lost their jobs. Democrats also gained ground in state legislative races.”

Said Rep. Will Hurd (R-TX): “If the Republican Party in Texas doesn’t start looking like Texas, there won’t be a Republican Party in Texas.”

I didn't realize that things were starting to get bad for Republicans in Texas already. If Texas goes blue in 2020, it will be amazing. I might actually get religion and start believing in miracles LOL

and then they laugh their heads off, do a shot of virgin blood, and head to the State Capital basement to spank each other with the ceremonial paddle.
