Dallas mayor leaves Democratic Party, switches to GOP: 'American cities need Republicans'
Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson was elected in 2019 and has been a vocal supporter of law enforcement
By Andrew Mark Miller Fox News
Published September 22, 2023 12:29pm EDT

The mayor of one of the largest cities in the U.S. announced in a Friday op-ed that he is leaving the Democratic Party and becoming a Republican.

In a Wall Street Journal op-ed with the headline "America’s Cities Need Republicans, and I’m Becoming One," Dallas Mayor Eric Johnson explains that he is leaving the Democratic Party because "the future of America’s great urban centers depends on the willingness of the nation’s mayors to champion law and order and practice fiscal conservatism."

"Our cities desperately need the genuine commitment to these principles (as opposed to the inconsistent, poll-driven commitment of many Democrats) that has long been a defining characteristic of the GOP," Johnson wrote.

"In other words, American cities need Republicans — and Republicans need American cities," he continued. "When my political hero Theodore Roosevelt was born, only 20% of Americans lived in urban areas. By the time he was elected president, that share had doubled to 40%. Today, it stands at 80%. As America’s cities go, so goes America."

Not sure where he stands on other social issues, but fiscal conservatism and commitment to enforcing laws could go far, if he has political ambitions.

Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

Interesting. Being the cynic that I am, I'm left wondering why.

Maybe it's just me @berdie but I think the Dims have overplayed their hand. Again!

I sure hope so @Bigun. Since Dallas is the closest metro area to me. I grew up there and hate to see how it has changed.

I guessing he is kind of like our good buddy @DCPatriot.

A couple of years ago, from his posts you could have sworn he was a lifelong Expos/Nationals Fan.   Now, he's traded caps for the O's.
Bandwaggoning used to be more prevlant than now, but I am guessing the strategy isn't dead.

Actually, was an avid Orioles fan long before the Nationals came to town.  They just got so progressively awful that I bandwagoned the NATS when they caught lightening.

I'm talking about Earl Weaver days Jim Palmer, Eddie Murray.

St. Louis Browns!

The Dems over-played their defund the police hand. In varying degrees, it's had predictable results, and many ordinary people have recognized, are recognizing, and will recognize it. What is not predictable is how people will react because humans are just unpredictable in such circumstances.
