Richard Parker: The era of GOP dominance in Texas is over [Opinion]

Even before 2020 really gets underway, you can see it in all the ways the normally lockstep Republican Party is in trouble. You can see it in all the offices Republicans lost last year, even as Ted Cruz held on to his scalp. It’s visible in John Cornyn’s shaky bid for re-election.

And it is painfully obvious in how Republicans in Austin are divided over gun control. Gun control. There is panic in Austin that scandal could hand the state House of Representatives to Democrats. Democrats. Beto O’Rourke could beat Donald Trump in Texas, say the polls. The Lone Star State has gone from deep red to bright purple in what was seemingly a flash.

I have this to say to Mister Parker "Get thee into rehab!".

The ONLY reason Texas is turning Dim is because of all the illegal aliens living there who have registered to vote Dim. You can rest assured that after  Trump is sworn in for his 2nd turn that the gloves are going to come off,and he is going to get dead serious about shutting down the border and ejecting illegal aliens. Once this happens,the Dims will go back to being pretenders again.
