2020 Primary In Texas And Its Major Counties, Where Are Conservatives To Go?
It's already 2020 and the Texas primary is coming up fast on March 3, 2020. A review of choices in the major counties show the following:
One thing is clear, we have a lot more single person races compared to the Democrats. Of concern is the failure to run individual candidates in the vast majority of cases in the major counties. It seems they are not even trying to field candidates. For example, in Harris County, eleven Democrats in judicial races are without opposition. In some instances, the sitting Democratic judge was well regarded, but that did not apply to all of them, some of which are radical leftists who are extremely soft on criminals. This is a pattern in the big counties and is a sign the GOP is in retreat with an emerging lack of local leadership. With so little on the GOP ballots in some areas of Texas or in some districts, some more conservative voters are fearful of the most radical leftist Democrats getting elected. One solution is to migrate into the Democratic primary to help nominate the more middle of the road choice. Since all politics is local and you are impacted more by local politics than national, it's an idea many think is worthy of consideration in 2020. *Includes President, U.S. Senate, Railroad Commission, & Texas Court of Criminal Appeals |
