[Anonymous]

Dallas is now the largest city in the US to be led by a GOP mayor since Eric Johnson switched.

Eric Johnson believes mayors should champion law and order and fiscal restraint.

It's refreshing, isn't it?

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.

So he’s going to unseat Allred? Or is Allred retiring?

I have no idea. My comment was in response to ...."He cannot even win a Congressional seat as a Dem. TX split all of the cities into different districts."
My point was that a different Dem has already accomplished what pp said couldn't be done.

Clearly Flores, Sanchez, and Johnson forget where they came from. They join the ranks of the 400+ Uvalde police. Keep on rolling with Abbot.

Sure but there are only so many districts where the numbers are favorable for that. I’m sure he’s looking down the road and doing some math. Either way it’s not a bad thing. The republicans aren’t going to fix their own party, maybe having dems join will help.

Not sure what you intended by this comment, but it reeks of racism.

Sure, if you say so. And ableism, too.

If you’re paid/blackmailed into doing something, you’re not there to fix the systemic problems. You’ve become part of the problem.

This is hilarious.
You refuse to believe that people are leaving the Democratic party because they have become so insane that you accuse them of being paid or blackmailed. Just keep believing that as your party bleeds more people.

It is almost like the fix is in with the "democrat" candidates who switch to the GOP in a heartbeat.

It has essentially happened in the Senate, the House, and with various Mayors and state house members.

It goes back to the 'if you can't win on the merits, cheat and lie"

Welcome to the 2023 GOP.

The Dem leadership are centrists. Yes, there is a fringe left that wants universal healthcare and more regulations to protect workers, etc, but that pales to the maintstream right that wants to end our republic and install a christian nationalist authoritarian rule.

Welcome to the 2023 GOP.

Perhaps look to your own party as to why they are leaving.
Or, don't. I couldn't care less. You will just continue to lose more.
