@corbe he stated that he was voting for him in the last election after Trump threatened him, so this isn't too surprising. Secondly, Ted is in a heap of trouble right now with Beto outraising him and the DNC and lots of liberal azzholes trying to ensure that TX turns blue ... this IMHO is an effort to try to get Trump and the NRSC to help him out. Not going to happen unfortunately, but Ted is making this last ditch effort.
Ted in a "heap of trouble" with Beto?
The demographics of my precinct have changed drastically over the past 20 years. During that time, our 80% white district is now:
Asian = Indian
We have become home to a rapidly growing Muslim community, although it appears most appear to be assimilating judging by women in hijabs driving cars and wearing yoga pants.
In 2016, the precinct voted 3 to 1 Republican. Our state representative, Matt Rinaldi, was voted most conservative Texas rep, I wish he'd run for Kenny Marchant's seat in Congress.
Ted will win reelection by a comfortable margin.
Please LB, don't buy into the media narrative.
ETA: I am counting on a multi-generational Indian family buying our house in several years. Ground has been broken on a new elementary school across the street from us. The prospect of a "new school" was a big part of the promotional pitch delivered when we built the house 20 years ago.
I'm not counting the money yet, but it's in a prime spot...good schools and the Cypress Waters development is about a mile away. Traffic's now a real beyotch in our area, people will pay to avoid a commute over 5 miles. It now takes me over 50 minutes for a 10 mile roundtrip to my son's high school. Coppell's roads were fine for a 20K town, they are now completely insufficient for a 50K city with a HS over 3500 students.
