Can A Democrat Win In Texas? | AJ+ 

Hilarious to see minorities listen to what white academics say they should call themselves lmao

@@ThePepper67 Many Latinos are Caucasian. They speak Caucasian languages. Spanish and Portuguese.

@@michaelshultz1590 Most aren't Caucasian though, which again makes it hilarious that white academics are dictating what they call themselves.

@@ThePepper67 White liberals. Far too often they’re improperly educated. I agree with your point. ☺

@@michaelshultz1590 Oh yeah, obviously these are people on the left doing it at the moment. Sadly, since the right wing seems to just be 10 years behind, I'm sure David Brooks will write some inane "The Conservative Case for the Word 'Latinx'" at some point.

romney won it by 16%, trump won it by 9% in 2016 and 5.8% in 2020. its shifting blue a lot

@@cubinghuskies7449 Texas was shifting towards the left in the 90s and it stayed red also lots of Independence and Republicans that usually vote red did not vote for Trump this election, and if you look at down ballot Democrats did not do on Texas, plus with the push for gun control that's not going to be good because even Democrats in Texas like the guns.

@@cubinghuskies7449 Dont be shocked if the numbers go up again boyt

@@flashsiedarta9728 Through voters suppression and gerrymandering only.

@@BasedArizonan It's getting closer in each presidential election. Haven't you noticed that? The younger generation specially the educated realize that GOP has nothing to offer. What has the GOP done about climate change issues? Nothing. Instead the GOP allows corporations to run wild and unregulated which has caused toxic chemicals in our food, water and air. Are you content with that?? Under Trump 55 corporations didn't pay any taxes. ZERO. How about if all stop paying taxes?? who's going to pay for social security? police department, fire department? military?? are you content with that. But when big corporates go broke they ask Federal government for a hand out. ( corporate welfare) I guess Some Texans don't mind that? and did you know high taxes in blue states subsidize those red states????? without taxes from blue states some of those red states can't economically sustain themselves. Do you want the blue states to stop supporting red states???? are you ok with that????

Seems to be a lot of TROLLS here.

unfortunately trolls get attention this way it is the ONLY way they get ANY attention ignore them

thinkaboutit Texas is more advanced than most states but they don’t want Dems because their policies would shatter its economy.

life isn't just about the economy try fairness justice " great " schools " CLEAN water and air best infrastructure ( jobs ) less disparity for incomes i can go on and on Republicans are very good at having people vote against their own best interests please watch something other than fox

thinkaboutit uh dummy. I live in CA. Surrounded by liberal policies. We are losing are industries and our middle class. The only driving force for any society is a strong economy and a strong middle class. Our middle class is leaving for Texas. Before you assume anyone just watches Fox News you should go see what’s it’s like to live in an over democratic state. That is if you can afford it. Texas has low cost of living and their job growth is 4 times faster than the state I live in being CA.

But he puts kraut on his burritos? ha ha ha

I voted Republican across the board. After the abuses committed to Justice Kavanaugh. I had to distance myself from a party that would go to those lengths, & destroy a man and his family to win an election. The caravan? It's proven the left-liberal Dem's are behind both, It's Simple: I voted against the fascist dem-o-rats and liberal maniacs.

yea but the party switched.....

Lyndon Johnson the Democratic president came up with Civil rights laws that's when the party switched. Most confederate supporters and segraganists became Republicans.

@@sniff4643 the parties never switched

@@standforhumanitariancauses4756 the parties never switched

@@sniff4643 No, the parties never switched. The Republicans and all of their predecessors have always been to the right of the Democrats and all of their predecessors. Both parties were more conservative than they are now, but they’ve never switched sides. You’re repeating a lie told by some Democrats that are trying to deny their past. The Democrats of 1860 are the same Democrats of 2021.

Talk about worst case scenario

themightyflog i get what you mean but really austin is the only blue city as far as i’m concerned and that’s only from what i’ve heard. us texans hold strong morals even if it’s against or for abortion ect. usually we are hard headed when it comes to politics but when it comes down to it we all get along, blue or red. racism isn’t a thing where i’m from and if you are you’ll get your shit called out.

Dallas and El Paso are Blue. leaving rural Texas as Red. Yup, California all over again. But hopefully CA gets rid of the SOROS Democrats and turns CA red again.

So if CA and TX turn Blue, this means that Ohio and the NE become Americas last Republican or Conservative hubs. the SOUTH is turning BLUE. GA and SC will follow TX and turn Blue as more of these Afro Americans and CA-Mexican Americans from NY,IL& CA are migrating to the South to vote Liberal.

We want to stay red

Apparently not the ones in houston, dallas-forth worth, san antonio and austin. I guess all of them arent real texans

I’m Texan and is sure that won’t last

Texans yes, incoming democrats fleeing from failed blue states, no.

When Texas was a solid Democratic Party state, Texas usually elected conservative Democrats to high office such as Governor Coke Stevenson, Governor and Senator Wilbert Lee "Pappy" O'Daniel , Governor Allan Shivers, Senator and Governor Marion Price Daniel Sr. Lyndon Johnson was a New Deal liberal during FDR years, but LBJ became a more conservative Texas Democrat between 1945 and 1963. LBJ voted for Taft-Hartley law in 1947. The only consistent liberal Texas Democrat elected to office was Senator Ralph Yarborough.

Smart Texas vote conservative.

Thing is that Hispanics are not just one group from one country. They come from many countries like Cuba Mexico and the rest of Latin America. Most Mexicans will turn out democrat while most Cubans usually turnout Republican. So its 50 50 at the end.

No. We want get rid of children's torturing camps.. . We want help Daca members who have lived all of their life in Usa since they were kids and they are working and paying taxes. There cannot be Daca member with criminal record. Did Jesus caged 8000 children? Real americans are not even willing to work in farms even if you pay them better wages. Illegals pay 15 billions in taxes and they dont get any of tax benefit. We want universal healthcare and better wager for middle class and poor people.

@Rhonda Clark you need to know more about Texas history before you say anything that idiotic.

Rhonda Clark Everything you said is false.

Independence In Mind Asylum seekers, not illegal immigrants, are being sent to these concentration camps.

@Rhonda Clark you trippin bruh lol

Walt Schmidt wrong and wrong, Cam you republicans not debate without lying and strawmanning your opponents?

He is about as honest as rocket man.

@@TheKrish207 can yall do the same?

henryjw15 sure I'm all for it. I'll go first, Beto o'rourke has not taken any big donor money, meaning he will be beholden to the 'People of Texas' and not the corporations, unlike Ted Cruz. I'm assuming you're republican and hate Hillary, guess what I hate her too. I would remove Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer from power if I had a chance. But Beto is not like any of those corporate sellout which includes Ted Cruz too BTW. That honest enough for you?

Nichole Hastings, who is only subscribed to far-right Conspiracy channels, obviously knows best. :) Listen to the fascist fuckwit, guys, really.

You me and both old white guy.

Do you see his huge herpes on his mouth on his commercial. It's gross.

i like how you ignored all the ted cruz signs. very liberal of you.

not many everyone without one is against socialism.

If you're old than you should know that its not right that Dems have made you feel like being white matters. You shouldn't be judged by the color of your skin, but by the content of your character.

Good on Willie Nelson for standing up for what's right for the state and its people instead of treating politics like a football match.

Who has given Willie Nelson backlash from that? I'm a millennial white girl republican who has seen Willie Nelson three times in concert. If he was throwing a free concert and Beto was there I'd show up. Not everyone hates people just because of their political stance.

Many people hate Beto for his political stance.

Why would conservatives even listen to Willie Nelson? He’s a pot smoking peacenik hippie.

Lmao well at least no one in their right mind can take an 80 year old stoner seriously 😂 also The View stopped being relevant in the 80s or 90s lol. Also I'm a proud Texan, we're gonna stay forever red lol. Thank you dems for voting for a president that's probably a pedo and actively wants us to just let immigrants to cross over 🤡 democrats ruining America.

Texas will stay red dumbass

@@alexisandrade709 amen to that brother too many goddamn blues

If u want California, go there & get the HELL out of Texas

Ahh, that's nice. But can you sway an extra 20% of the state's hispanic population to vote your way? If not, then better luck in 2024 (said with all due irony).

emil huseynov FDR won Texas FOUR TIMES OVERWHELMINGLY!

emil huseynov How about FDR.FDR was a liberal democratic president.

emil huseynov FDR was last president to win Texas with more than 80 percent of vote.

emil huseynov FDR wasn't a conservative in any sense.He was a pragmatic liberal president.

Nichole Hastings yeah

lol cruz will win and texas will be red as long as you dumb asses keep using gun control as a reason to be voted for. CRUZ!!!

amber lively sadly people are too stupid and ignorant to realize their own mistakes.

I agree with this. Texas is a great state because of the conservative leaders. WHY CHANGE THAT?!?!?!?!

Jeffrey Ogden Bottom 25 for education and healthcare, and barely cracking the top 25 for median income. What is Texas great at currently?

👏👏👏👏👏

Michael Herd there are 50 states, those stats don’t seem bad to me, they’re actually great stats. If they are bottom 10 in something, let me know

why? A Texan that turns their back on their heritage? What good is a Texan without his 6 shooters? Haven't we already seen the Dems turn California, Maryland, New Jersey, and New York into shit holes? Why do dems insist on forcing their ideas on the rest of us rural folks who FEED you ungrateful lot?

We Are The Sons Of Mars You’re going to bring up rural farmers as a point against Democrats while Trump is in office? Seriously?

your right some of us live in big cities and dont support democrats or their policies.

@@crowz6247 Trump is the only president in my generation to visit FFA and talk about agricultural defense. What's your point? How they are affected with these trade deals? Yeah, that sucks but other countries won't be able to last without US trade. We are the biggest exporter in food.

Move to Commiefornia, you will love it!

I just moved to Dallas from CA and got registered.. NOT voting for BETO. If it aint broke dont fix it; vote REPUBLICAN. Democrats destroyed our CA state.

AP's Vintage - finds major cities won’t get you the win

I live in Dallas and lots of folks are not voting for Beto due to actions by leftists. Peeps breaking crap in the streets and tearing up downtowns is doing nothing but pushing conservatives to the voting booth.

@@robroux6074 amen. Truly sad what has been occurring in beautiful Ca. Losing 500K jobs during the same period that Texas grows 1 million jobs... all due to politics.

Rob Roux California literally has one of the best economies and is capable of becoming their own country so I don’t think it’s broken it just has problems like any state and country in this world.

You are blind.

Lmao

Why though? He supports killing babies, open borders, and taxpayer healthcare system. Unless you have a good reason, like Cruz is doing illegals things (which he isn't), then you're a conservative in name only.

Ebele Ingram 1.) Abortion is not "killing babies" and nonetheless should not be regulated in our SECULAR governement. It is not your body or situation, so mind your business 2.) If you watched the debates, Beto does not believe in open borders, but rather no wall. He is also simply just discussibg to legalize the immigrants that are already here anyways 3.) Universal healthcare is a seperate tackle that has many involving factors but overall would be far better than the current monopoly placed upon our healthcare system

Paul Tello In these hypothetical outcomes, no one can really definitely say yes or no, just strong probablys. Maybe it does increase immigration, maybe it doesn't. None of us would know until it occurred. If you're interested anoit learning more about Immigration and how to potentially solve it, look up "Immigration Paradox" its pretty cool. It is a documentary talking about the immigration problem here and the sides and such. It might givebetter insight for you!

Just don't vote for beto.

Careful, Cruz might eat that booger.

Guy The GalaXII shut up

Baneicorn true!!

@@ShhhutUp how original.

Nah it.. will take another 2 election cycles for a Democrat to win

abbas altake Texas Midterm Elections 2018 Shirts, Men, Women, Kids, Make sure you've got your senator Beto O'Rourke Tshirt to back Beto for Senate, great to wear with your hat, signs, flags, stickers, decals #Beto2018 amzn.to/2RPmmoe

FAKE NEWS

@abbas altake - Given the fact the Donald Trump garnered approximately 4.7 million votes in the 2016 election in contrast with Hillary Clinton's approximately 3.9 million votes, Beto O'Rourke has an uphill battle because not all of those 1.4 million newly registered voters will support O'Rourke. The problem with this and other reports is the focus on Democrats versus Republicans. Did you know that Texas elections list the Communist Party? That Cherunda Fox received 45 votes as a write-in candidate in the 2016 Presidential election? (See: www.sos.state.tx.us/elections/historical/presidential.shtml) Never saw an interview with her, did you? There are many more stories than the dueling bipartisan picture painted by the commercial media. (Note: I get bored with this constant right versus left so my curiosity is peaked by these "also rans." If you strongly support a major party candidate, you need to pay attention to these other points of view because you will need to convince them to vote for your candidate. In my opinion, Beto O'Rourke has the advantage in messaging over Ted Cruz because O'Rourke is focusing on our commonalities in contrast with Cruz who appears to be offering a shopping list of programs. Whether an inspiring message will overcome the "same old, same old" mantra of Cruz will be determined on November 6th. If you're interested in perusing a *.pdf file of the FEC's entire 147 page publication on the 2016 election (includes House of Representatives, etc.), I've provided the link: transition.fec.gov/pubrec/fe2016/federalelections2016.pdf. The FEC also has this information as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Good point but I still believe there is possibility for upset win. As I said beore young people support Beto in very large margin and Democrats are very activated. Beto working like its a end of the world. Ted cruz is also more hated than Donald trump in Texas. Many republicans does not even like him. I still think there is possibility for upset win.

Elijah cesspoole Nope vote democrat.

@@garysheldonjr8379 nope. Not voting demon rat.

Vote red

Universal Health Care do you honestly think you're going to be paying less money you're going to be paying more money haven't you learned with Obamacare If you want Texas like California and don't care about your state but if you care about your state you vote red

Beta soy boy will lose!

Trump is without a doubt, the Voice of reason, not treason. I was a non-partisan, became a Rep after the abuses committed to Justice Kavanaugh. I had to distance myself from a party that would go to those lengths, & destroy a man and his family. Then the caravan, I believe the Dem's are behind both, It's Simple: If you want to live in a country that will protect your constitutional rights, vote Rep! I've already.voted

@@lorm.3153 says: "you're going to be paying more money haven't you learned with Obamacare.." == Obamacare(ACA) is nowhere close to UHC. Actually it's the opposite of public coverage. Obamacare was created by conservative think tank(Heritage) and it's a mandatory private coverage. Yo didn't know this? "Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act"(Obamacare) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patient_Protection_and_Affordable_Care_Act

There are people that actually choose the bought and paid for politicians over real deal representatives---but gerrymandering and other election fraud tactics like 'Cross Check' and fake felon lists (which go by similar names and not SS numbers) and other tactics for removing select voters from the rolls are a lot to overcome. It is so important to overwhelm their efforts to maintain the power of the ruling class donors by showing up. In other words, it ain't so much the ones that vote wrong as it is the ones that don't vote at all and who keep letting them do the things that really will make voting pointless.

Bearded Jagger That is it..in a nutshell. If you are a millennial in Texas and you don't Vote for the kind of REAL Change that BETO can bring, then don't complain for the next 4 years.

@sivan ferna - For sure. He received more money from Wall Street than any other president. Hence, the reason why not a single person who criminally destroyed the economy in 2008 was ever prosecuted.

@sivan ferna - If you go to progressive channels you'll find plenty of criticism of Obama and the corporate Democrats. And hypocrisy exists on both sides. Exacerbated by the election of Trump. His presidency has caused everybody to be very disoriented, with a lot of people abandoning positions they’ve held for a very long time for reasons of convenience and opportunism.

BETO paid by for the cartels out of ciudad juarez...........el paso sh*t hole.

lol

I hope you’re right! But l afraid Beto has no chance!!

he does.. his popularity is sky rocketing...

wow that would be great

Beto got defeated...ahem

Shinobi desu: Its sad that you are being led to believe that. The MSM media has done a very good job running down the GOP. Example: Trump was loved before 2009. What changed? The letter after his name.

john doe it’s not about what the main stream media does , it is about what comes out these candidates mouths . Anytime a Democrat is advocating for equality for all, republicans stand against it. And find a reason not to support. Just listen to the man speak and then listen to ted Cruz . If your moral compasses tell you ted Cruz is worried about ALL AMERICANS your moral compass is off

Shinobi desu: Realy The GOP has fought for minorities much longer and harder then the DNC ever dreamed. What I find most amusing. Is that the Dems want to talk a about fairness, but they're the ones protesting everytime someone with a different view point says something. Hillary went as far as calling anyone who didn't support her a "deplorable" and it gets over looked, or we make excuses. Trump says something off color and its front page news for the next week. The bias is obvious to anyone with a internet connection and a IQ above 70. But a someone once told me, there are none so blind as those who refuse to see. Anyone who is smart enough to do their own research can see partisan politics is tearing this country apart far faster and surer than any thing else.

@@mjp5429 The GOP suppresses minority vote, everyone knows the GOP gets clobbered among minorities. So, they do everything they can to supress them.

Shinobi desu If you think that Beto cares about you or Americans you are blinded by campaign ads. NO CHANGE will ever come from the two main parties. So long as we keep voting for "The lesser of two evils" This country will keep sliding down the toilet bowl into the sewer. Tell how should I vote? I can't the Democrats constant whinning about how the "Evil rich" are out to get the "little guy." And I can't stand the GOP trying to enforce their idea of moral code. I'm open for ideas. Maybe even a little desperate for ideas. So educate me.

Really, he only lost by *less* than 3% -- and in Texas? Hell, Cruz should have trounced him by at least 10%, if not 15%, and Beto came within less than three??? If Beto did that well in Texas, he'd be a shoo-in in any truly purple state!!! That's GOTTA hurt!
