Texas Republican Party Chair: Battleground Texas Is A Threat To Your Family

[JoethePleb]

Texas Republican Party Chair Steve Munisteri must have felt like Paul Revere when he sounded the alarm on Battleground Texas. The letter his office recently sent out reads more like Alex Jones than the Chair of the party that holds every top seat in the state. The piece is cynical, but cleverly worded to literally scare the money out of people with an apocalyptic fear of our President.

At every opportunity Munisteri cranks up the fear machine characterizing the Politico.com article with Jeremy Bird as Battleground Texas being "exposed by a major national newspaper," and stating that the "article uncovered their plans." He warned Texas Republicans that "Barack Obama's 'Battleground Texas'" was a "clear and present threat to you and your family," and that they are coming to "take away your guns," "confiscate more of your paycheck" and "hijack your rights and freedoms."..

1. Bring it on

If they keep nominating candidates like Ted Cruz they probably have good reason to be nervous.

4. I agree to some extent.

Ted Cruz will probably be kicked out in 2018.

I am not sure how easy (or hard) it would be it flip Texas though.

For example, Rick Perry somehow managed to get 39% of the Hispanic vote in his last gubernatorial election.

2. And don't forget putting science back in science text books

And history into history books!

3. Making Texas competitive will be difficult.

(I've said this in the other post and I will say it again)

Texas Republican Party is a lot more tolerant of Hispanics and immigration reform than the national party.

This is in contrast to the Arizona Republican Party that Hispanics are itching to toss out.

5. We sure gotta lotta nut jobs in this state

Someone in GD was asking about the south. I told them I only see those nut jobs on TV etc. I guess the regular old Republicans tolerate this nut job stuff because it is "entertaining".
