Another Democrat switches parties to GOP

Johnson also says Democrat policies "exacerbate homelessness, coddle criminals, and make it harder for ordinary people to make a living."

Perhaps some of what he says is true but the Republican tent is certainly not the place for frustrated Democratic politicians to find righteousness.

He clearly believes it is.
Perhaps he knows something you don't.
Or, is honest about his assessment of the two parties.

I was in TX with a prominent former D politico. He said that many folks are switching parties b/c they have no chance as a Dem. It isn't really about R beliefs. They want to stay in politics.

Mayor Johnson was JUST re-elected. In May. With a whopping 93% of the vote.
This isn't about "staying in politics" for Johnson. It is about beliefs and how bat$hit crazy the Dems have become.

He knows nothing. Our failing government on the Federal level has trickled down to the state and local levels of government and it is absolutely just as much the fault of Republican politicians as it is Democratic politicians, if not more.

If he wanted to keep being the Mayor of Dallas forever he would stay a Democrat. If he wants to be _____ of Texas after being Mayor of Dallas he needs to be. Republican. This isn’t hard.

Given his record of success in Dallas, he should have no problem running for higher office as a Democrat or Republican. He has chosen Republican. And has given very good reasons for doing so.

Sure it is. If he wants higher office, he cannot do that as a Dem.

Absolutely not true.

And remember how gerrymandered TX is. He cannot even win a Congressional seat as a Dem. TX split all of the cities into different districts.

Tell us about how Colin Allred, a Democrat from the Dallas area won election to Congress.
Face it - you don't want to admit that this was his decision because he sees what the Democratic party is becoming.

See, this is what I keep saying that Rs in MoCo should do.. switch to D to bring about more moderate policies. A R politician has no chance in liberal MoCo.

It’s a great way to moderate the Republican Party. I’m all for it.
