My problem with moderate Republicans clutching their pearls when the conservative wins, is they fully expect conservatives to help get out the vote in the general election if their guys wins. It is an easy calculation, that Paxton is better than TalaFreako.
If you want to know if you are a Republican, here is your reading assignment, Texas GOP party platform, submitted for your consideration and personal edification.
Now let's get busy in your local county. The non-DASH (DallasAustinSanAntonioHarris) counties have to have massive net GOP wins everywhere to outweigh the blue Metros. And everyone everywhere needs to have poll watchers from the start of early voting to the end. Get trained and educated. We have problems still in Texas with election integrity in these cities, starting with voter registration rolls. And some counties have hired incompetent or shady election administrators.
If Texas and Florida GOP's ever fail to provide a majority in either of their state legislatures or electoral college, then we are done for. The commies will pack courts, eliminate Electoral College and popular vote the presidential election and add perma blue statehood to Puerto Rico and DC, plus zero voter ID anywhere. You can vote your way in to socialism but you have to shoot your way out.
