Lifelong Texas Republican Against Trump
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- After voting for Republicans from George Bush in 1988 through Trump in 2016, I went blue in 2020 and will continue to do so against all Trump politicians. Here’s my origin story, short and sweet.
Im also a lifelong republican who stopped voting for the gop in 2016. Glad to see other sane patriotic Republicans refusing to join the cult and putting country over party
Country over party, from you folks your delusional, GOD ,Country, Family, the parties are not even in my top 50!
@@davidkuharich9269I love God with my whole heart. I don't think Trump is "chosen" that's a false prophecy. It makes me sad to see people lift him as a savior.
@@davidkuharich9269 Yeah because you worship Trump lol.
@@davidkuharich9269Yeshua loves you. 💜
Me too
Country over party is patriotism. I'm proud to share a country with the likes of you.
1000%
100 % AGREE !
Amen.
Abbott keep sitting 🎉
Texas Republicans are coming around and in mass. Love seeing voters like you come out and stand up for America. I will be voting against MAGA this election in Texas also.
I don't know where you get mass? You are either Brainwashed or delusional.
62 year old Texan here. After voting for R's most of my life, I'm ashamed to say that I didn't vote in 2016. I couldn't find a reason to support either candidate. In 2020 I voted for Biden and I'm not going back. For the first half of my life, Texas was blue as the sky. It will be blue again. When the Three Stooges ram vouchers through, rural schools will start closing (as they are now in Florida) and Republicans will be done for a long time.
Texas was corrupt as hell when it was a Democrat state. Back when they used to hang blacks out on LBJ's ranch. And you wanna go back to that???
Same man. I’m an independent from Fort Worth. Voting Kamala this year
Thank you for speaking truth! Common sense over non sense and country over party! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@mnstocknews Always!!!
Who is common sense?
It’s good to see people making real choices about the next president rather than just following the group
@@Ehmbhee Yes, we ALL need to!
I wish Liz Cheyney would have spoken at the DNC. God help us if Trump wins, but I feel in my soul that Harris will win. Thanks. 😊
THANK YOU so much for your courage to speak out on this! I was a registered republican until trump, and I'm a Christian.. he's been the worst thing that's happened to our country in my lifetime! Until maga is completely gone from the scene, I'll be voting Dem, so save our country and democracy! God Bless you!!🎉❤
Save your country vote blue 💙💙💙💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
my mom will be voting this year for her first Democrat since Jimmy Carter in 1980.
My dad voted for one Democrat in his life. Jimmy Carter in ‘76. Must’ve been something about that guy!
Hearing this from the Boomer republicans in Oklahoma. Two coworkers in my construction job have confessed to me (their Democrat friend😂) that they can’t vote for Trump due to Jan 6th and ALSO will be voting Kamala (first time since Carter for both)
Wow, even in OKLAHOMA? That’s saying something! I was never the “Democrat friend” but would have been considered “most likely to be fed up enough with Republicans to do something about it.”
@@tomworthjr I know it’s highly anecdotal but we are the “reddest state in the union” so it seems significant.
So from my viewpoint it seems like there is more of a defection from Trump than I think pollsters realize as they rarely poll voters like these folks as they have voted red for 25-50 years!?
All 11 Oklahoma republicans (currently) I have talked to about voting for Harris (5) or at least not voting for Trump (6) say one thing ALWAYS.
“January 6th was the breaking point when he went too far.”
I can't possibly vote for a leader who if one of my children emulated would cause me complete shame...Let's take it home, BLUE...
That's a very good way of looking at it. I may quote you.
@@richstrobel Please feel free and give credit to yourself if you pass it along because I honestly hope it's a universal feeling...
So you'd rather have a kid named Tampon Timmy? That kids gonna get his butt kicked in Texas.
@@earlofmar7987 You reinforce my point quite well. thanks to you and your father...
@@timwhite7127 My father served under Patton. He'd never cower & vote to install two Communists in the White House. Only stupid ppl would do that. What category do you fit in? Stupid or a coward?
Thank you for speaking out! 🙏 Country over party! 👏💪
I sincerely don't understand how people could vote for the chaos of Trump again. It would be great to turn Texas blue.
Voting for Kamel face is like chickens voting for KFC.
@@earlofmar7987what chaos? We were at peace, the economy was set to boom and we had border security. If all of you think Kamala is so great, go to Cuba or China.
Thank you for sharing your political views. I used to be a registered republican in Florida, but I've since transitioned to logic and will never vote for Trump nor anyone who pretended to believe his lies. (Or anyone stupid enough to actually believe them.)
Florida must be an interesting place to live through all of this, ground zero of his operations. But also millions on the other side. Thanks for commenting - the more of us who share our thoughts and reasons, the better!
What lies? What lies specifically?...I'm serious, and not trying to be argumentative,...exactly show some examples?
@@michaellovetere8033 Besides general election denialism and obvious mistruths about his misogyny? A recent one -- claiming Kamala Harris is a communist. (Not that he is smart enough to know the difference between liberal, socialist, and communist, but still...)
@@michaellovetere8033What lies is what I want to know. Tulsa, RFK Jr, Elon Musk and Mark Zucketbug are all exposing lies in Dem party. The Republicans who are joining the Dems are RINOS.
@@michaellovetere8033 I tell you the biggest lie he's been spewing since 2020. He claims the 2020 election was fraudulent and stolen from him. The fraud is actually Donald J. Trump.
Thank you so much for thinking of the country over party!
Good man. Takes a lot of courage to change ways of a lifetime. I voted for trump in 2016, Biden in 2020 and will vote for Harris this year.
Communist lover. She love dictators. She's already been selling us out.
Harris? You would actually vote for a candidate who has socialist policies in mind?...Really?
@michaellovetere8033 Please feel free to name one
@@michaellovetere8033socialism? You mean like roads, law enforcement, border patrol, customs, airport security,military,NASA, food safety standards, safe drinking water etc? Somalia is the least socialist country in the world and I don’t think you want to live there.
@@goarmysleepinthemud.No, like giving thousands every month to people who walked through the open borders for food and housing allowance. Meanwhile there’s some Veterans on the streets.
Thank you sir. We need all hands on deck for this fight 💪🏾🇺🇸💙
He needs to lose again and then the court cases need to continue. He needs to go to prison for January 6th
Yessss let November be OUR CHRISTMAS BLESSINGS.
AGREE
I agree the whole Democrat party belongs in Jail. There lies with the Russian collusion BS. The false lies they made up for the Bogus impeachment trials.
@@Yaha-b9k God does not bless sin. And he would never bless a communist. And a candidate that openly campaigns on abortion.
Trump hate and lack of facts about Jan 6th doesn't look good on you
Thank you, I am on a roller coaster of feelings worrying about our country being hurt by Trump yet again. I live in Florida and will be voting blue all down the line. God bless us all. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
How did Trump hurt America? The only person I see destroying this country is Kamala. She is the Border Czar.
Trump hurt our country again??????????Why are you living in a red state? Wouldn't a blue one be more to your liking?
Put country over Trump. President Kalama Harris 🎉🎉🎉
You’re a good person. So much respect to you for voting to save democracy. I am proudly voting for Harris/Walz!
This is literally the stupided argument. "FoR DeMoCraCy!" Tell me again who actually voted for Kamala? That's how I know you have no values and this so called republican doesn't either. Democrats throw all the values away as soon as it becomes inconvenient.
Voted for Trump in 16 voted against Trump in 20. I can't believe I have to say this but we have already spoken in 20, We don't want Trump And now here we are We have to do it again !!!
I voted exactly the same way as you. Will be voting Harris this year too.
I'm a democrat, but I have a lot of respect for any republican who has the wisdom and common sense to know that, as opposed to past republican presidents (Regan and both Bush men), that Trump is a different animal and I'm glad they know better than to vote for him.
Cause Trump can't be bought. That's why ppl like you hate him. You want Masta to tell you what to do all day.
and I hope , if you love this country, you would think twice about voting for the current democrat communist ticket. but maybe I'm giving you too much credit
@@michaellovetere8033 If you think today's Democrats are anywhere near communist, you need alot more political education.
Very well said my friend. Canada is very nervous about Trump returning. Well, most of us. There is the minority that are trumpers.
Same here in Australia 🇦🇺
Thanks allies.
A minority?.........Do you support Trudeau?
I really hope Texas votes blue this year.
I'm 55 and i've been voting Texas blue all that time💙🤠
I’m a lifelong Democrat but if Liz Cheney had run for president I likely would have voted for her. She is deserving of so much respect on both sides!
She would make such a good President! I'd vote for her in a heartbeat.
So apperatntly anything that has a vagina will make a good president right?
Independent here voting for freedom, the constitution and the rule of law this election cycle down the ballot🇺🇲💙🇺🇲💙
I love patriotic TEXAN republicans.
Thank you for this! Hopefully some of our fellow Texans will come to their senses.
@@jerrylaney1700 Yes! I believe there are quite a few of us, and the numbers keep growing.
I understand you have conservative values. I understand the republican politicians try to promote those values for your vote. The cost of you getting pro-life, lower taxes, less regulations, pro gun...policies is that you skip the results part of getting what you wished. You get lower taxes for the wealthy and a sliver of a tax break for you that never lasts. Resulting in an oligarchy were the rich do amazing and you get shit on when the economy breaks. You get pro life supreme court and you get women losing vital medical care and still no help for the children born or orphans or help with adoption. You get less regulations. Result banks and businesses with more freedom to fleece the American people getting richer. You get companies getting richer and causing more damage. Pro gun...no control keeping guns out of the non responsible gun owners or crazies. Or felons. Your wish list hurts America. At the very least you can see Trump is awful and horrible person.
@@michaeljiggs2053 I wholeheartedly agree! It’s tradeoffs all the way down, and I’m prioritizing things differently as I mature (not “get older,” but “mature”). And don’t even get me started on green energy and the environment! Who can even argue against that? Republicans. That’s who.
@tomworthjr I really do believe in a balanced government where neither party can do what ever they want but at the same time the democrats need a good 12 year run to get things solidified with step 1 recovery from previous republican policies, step 2 to full integration of democratic economic policies, step 3 surgical attack on out of control spending. Step 1 unfortunately lasts too long after Reagan/ Bush and then another Bush and now Trump. Democrats are constantly using up a first term Presidency to battle a wealthy tax break that blew up the debt and deficit. That lasts usually 6 to 8 years because of the blockade of Republicans in congress. The democrats have never had the chance to fix the tax issues. Anything over $480k per year pays more. Middle class with big tax cut....etc. Never got done. Step 2 is essentially the tax cuts, infrastructure, enforcing anti monopoly laws, and corporate price gouging from food, oil, land, real estate. Infrastructure with high speed rail, commuter trains, roads, bridges, internet to rural America. Obama had the house pass the high speed rail train from Chicago to St. Louis, but Republicans wouldn't fund it. Step 3 like Obama said attack spending with a scalpel not a sledge hammer. Invest money to attack fraud in welfare and SS. Reinstate Clinton's welfare reform act that the Republicans let lapse for future attacks for votes...(just like they just did to Langfords immigration bill). Go after waste in the defense budget, waste in all programs, all departments. The democrats never get an opportunity to do these. Mainly because everytime a Democrat gets in the white house Republicans suddenly care about spending since Clinton. Clinton created the first surplus since early 60's. Bush threw it in the garbage. Speaking of that the democrats have wanted to fix campaign finance and try to get money out of politics. Sen Durbin has stated every time he handed McConnell a bill for that McConnell threw it in the trash can right in front of him. Get rid of the electoral college. ALL votes count. Fix the State senator problem. Why does California get 2 senators and the Dakota, Montana, Vermont, Rhode Island each get 2? Fix gerrymandering for both sides. Sorry...I'm just getting started this is just a snippet. Bit you seemed like a republican that could actually have this conversation most are not capable or willing.
Brilliantly said. 👍
@@tomworthjr you are truly a descent person. Yes, we need to all unite and be smart and save the planet. All the best from Finland in Europe! 💚
Fake conservative. Republicans don't ignore the environment. We just don't believe in taxing the crap out of people to not actually fix anything. Because Republicans have talked about alternatives that democrats ignore. Bur go ahead you faker.
Lifelong Democrat here. I have to say, Trump actually made me realize that not all Republicans, like Kinzinger, McCain, and even Romney, weren't actually terrible humans. I still don't agree on policy, but I have a new respect for them and long for the return of true "Patriotic" conservatives. Thank you for speaking out! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Lifelong Democrat- thank you!
As a Texan, thank you for making a decision to support the only candidate who will protect our way of life. While we may not agree on all policies yet there is plenty of room for equitable comprimise and respectful rigorous discussion.
I graduated college in 87 and wasn’t really political until Bush Sr ran for his second term against Clinton. I was devastated he lost but Clinton won me over and I soon realized that I actually worked for a living and the GOP wasn’t even concerned about things I cared about. I fulfilled a life long dream of becoming a municipal firefighter and became union vice president of the IAFF local and saw the power that workers united for our own self interest could directly impact our lives.
Being a firefighter showed me the terrible consequences of our present healthcare system and the needless suffering that the lack of decent healthcare is causing.
I’ve been solidly Democratic Party since and actively supported Bernie Sanders against Hillary as I too saw her as an establishment politician as you did.
As for trump he is a human dumpster fire and believe me I’ve seen many dumpster fires lol. I would vote for Donald Duck before trump and can’t see how these “patriots’ can square Jan 6, derogatory comments about veterans and the like and think he is fit for office.
Your story and the willingness to speak out is important. Thank you.
Thank you David! Well said!
We have to vote for the Harris/Walz ticket.
Ex-Republican here. I believe Harris will be a strong leader. Her foreign policy remarks at the DNC reminded me of John McCain!
I miss John McCain, a wonderful man and patriot. So sad to see what's happened to the Republican party. Hopefully it can make a comeback and remove the Trump sickness.
A strong leader that doesn't show her face in interviews. Because its not like every conflict that we have going on now wasn't because of Her and Biden.
Thank you for having a backbone.
I really hope there's more sane people like you voting in 2024. Everything you said is so plain to see, so obvious .... thank you . Country over party . USA!
Well said. I was never fully aligned with liberal politics until Trump. His arrogance, ignorance, cruelty and complete disregard for the truth were evident and open for all to see from the very beginning. 40/44. That is the number of his close cabinet members who either refuse to endorse him or have outright come out stating he is not fit for office. That is 91%!!! Of the people who knew him personally and closely. That is very telling. No other administration in this country's history has experienced that.
Yes, you are not saying anything about his successful policies,.just that you don't like his personality....Good policies put money in my pocket, I am not dumb enough to think that just because I differ on a few personality issues, I would go against my best interests. Maybe Harris might be more to your liking with her socialist policies.
If you vote for Harris and Walz, it doesn't mean you're a Democrat; it means you're a patriot.
Means your stupid. And watch to much MSDNC
Appreciate this! I'm a Fort Worth native living in North Carolina and it's great to hear this perspective from you. I think there is a Republicans for Harris organization in Texas, isn't there? I imagine your voice could make a difference for a lot of people in that good state.
Also noticed today the poll from Univ of Houston finding that Harris has cut Trump's lead in Texas in half since she got in the race. She behind by only 5 points. If enough of you Texas Republicans get involved and offer others like yourself respectable and honorable reasons for voting for Dems this year, it could make a huge difference.
One thing I think is interesting, along those lines, is that 19 of Trump's former cabinet members are not supporting him this time, including, of course VP Pence. His former Press Secretary and other former aides are warning us about him.
And a day or two ago, one of the nation's most conservative, and widely respected judges, Michael Luttig, endorsed Harris.
Conservatives all over the place are dumping Trump BECAUSE they are true conservatives! It's amazing....
Thanks again, Tom Worth!
@@DanielBarberMusic Yes sir! All true. Btw, just ate some Mi Cocina with some friends last night in Sundance Square - hot and sweaty but pretty dang perfect!
@@tomworthjr Jealous! My mouth is watering!!
I hope Texas wakes up like yourself about Trump
I've been an ANTI-trump voter in 2015. I felt alone. I was an ANTI-trump voter in 2020. I knew more were like me. Now I'm an ANTI-project 2025/agenda 47/white christian nationalism/theocracy/trump/maga/gop. I'm no longer alone. We aren't organized but some of us follow ex Tea Party Joe Walsh's pledge ... 'vote blue no matter who'. And I'm going to do that up and down the ballot. Why? Because I'm old (80) and grew up in Jim Crow and when women lacked Equality ... and I'm a woman and we are not going back to when States could impose radical, conservative agendas on their residents. We must get rid of political gerrymandering! We must have open primaries.
I vote AGAINST project 2025/agenda 47/white christian nationalism/theocracy/trump/maga/gop and therefore vote blue no matter who.
Now I know I am part of the Pro-democracy Coalition! You are welcome to join too.
I'm with you. Republicans have been dangling the 'pro-life' carrot in front of conservative Christian voters for decades. While many of the politician have a different standard for themselves. Trump is a prime example. Project 2025 has been growing since Reagan, hence the corrupt SCOTUS we now have. Trump's picks were made by the Heritage Foundation. Even if Trump is defeated, it will take a concerted effort to try and undo the damage done by the Heritage Foundation over the last few decades.
Excuse me brainwashed Trump hater,.it still bewilders me where these people get this stupid lie about project 2025... Whose feeding you this Bulls--t?.....Trump has no plans to use any of it,..he has never read it and doesn't know what's in it. His platform will be the same one he used in 2016....So?????? where did you get this project 2025 nonsense???????????????
I am quite on a different political leaning than you, but we arrived to the same place for very similar reasons.
No more Trump. Im not a fan of Harris, but she has the only realistic chance of winning against him at this point, so she will get my vote. Thank you for sharing your perspective and reasons!
I also cant wait for you guys, sane people who have different policies than I that love democracy and our country (a progressive Democrat), get your party back.❤
@@danibeautylove It’ll never happen, but maybe we can make another one from the rubble 🤣
Thanks for choosing your country over party.
Let us defeat the greatest threat to democracy in recent history together.
I deeply respect your views, reasons and courage Sir. Country MUST come first. We can revisit party from a stronger front later without a trump shadow sucking up true old school Conservative oxygen.
@@squeek3501 Absolutely. It would be nice to have the luxury of debating what matters most to Americans, rather than America itself.
As A Democrat TRUMP Made It Seems That We Don't Love USA I LOVE MY COUNTRY. Thank You For Putting COUNTRY 1st Instead Party.🙏💙🙏💙🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
So you are a communist now? Cause it is the Democommie Party. With two Communist running on the ticket. Are you from Greece?
You don't? All the communist in the party that are actively undermining or country. Blm flags, LGBT flags, Palestinian flags at these rallies but never American flags.
Coming from Finland the prospect of Trump pulling out of NATO is terrifying.
Stay strong NATO. I believe we are still with you. We're trying.
As an American, I agree 😢
As an American. The fact nato isn't carrying it's own weight and depends to much on our tax payers money to take care of yall is crazy to me. All while you criticize Americans all while taking your own citizens rights away.
@@sergioalvarez1919 you guys are one founder of nato.
But man i am Finnish. We have a massive army for country our size, one of the best in the world regardless but we only have 5 million people here. Where to we spawn couple hundred million people to build army your size? You already have build it, should be your responsibility to use it for good sometimes.
But I am with you that the power actors in Europe should have prepared for this scenario better and militarised more heavily. However about 80 years ago there was this lil event called WW2 which made them, especially Germans pretty opposed to it. Here next to the Russian boarder it has always been clear that this will happen and at least my country is completely been build around this fact down to the road infrastructure. But further you move west more they loose the presence of death into the horror of their own past.
But the truth is I am fully confident that Finland together with the rest of nato could handle Russia in its current state even without you guys. But the hope is that with the largest military behind our back this eastern friend would just not do the attack. Pulling out of nato would be such a show of weakness and just stupid thing to do.
This was really interesting, and I think you made a solid outline for your thought process. Thanks for sharing.
I'm scratching my head trying to understand how you can vote for Trump after saying you didn't vote for Clinton because extra marital affairs are a "No no." What is really going on there, because that doesn't make sense.
Exactly. I’m extremely pro rehabilitation and I don’t wanna judge and credit where it’s due. But a lot of ex trumpists don’t acknowledge the full scale of how bad it actually was. They voted for a fascist. You would have known that if you paid attention who you voted for. And the Republican Party has been disgusting on nearly every issue for decades
I would say that we did not know we voted for a fascist in 2016. He had never held office or political power of any kind. He was anti-establishment (and still is), and many people did not like the power of the Democrat machine and the Clintons taking over. But once we saw what he would do with his "mandate" (after LOSING the popular vote), we quickly realized. Too late, to be sure. But when you get it wrong, you can either keep getting it wrong and live in denial, or admit it and try to make up for it.
@@tomworthjr You do know that Trump was a Democrat for many years, right? You do know how duplicitous he was, donating to Kamala’s Senate run, right? You do know that Trump had an affair with Stormy Daniel’s while his wife was pregnant, right? You do know he has been found guilty by a jury of his peers for sexual assault, 34 felonies for tampering with an election and fraudulently bilking the state of NY, right? But, just didn’t like the Clinton’s or Prez. Obama without any reason…ok, that sounds reasonable…NOT!
@@tomworthjrgood answer. Life is about learning. You’re brave for speaking about what you’ve learned. It takes courage to face our mistakes and do better. Thank you for your integrity and inspiration
@@tomworthjr❤
The founding fathers wrote about the danger of Americans putting factions over country as a major challenge of our amazing democratic experiment
Okay Einstein, we are not a democracy, we are a constitutional republic.
@@michaellovetere8033 there is a maga trope. Yes we are a republic which is a form of democracy. This is not a difficult concept to understand
Thanks for your honesty. Many people feel the way you do. I live in Alabama, where the Republican supermajority has run roughshod over the people because “they can” in an emboldened Trump environment. They are no longer working for “We the People,” but for one man, whom they seek to please and push His agenda. I’ve voted Republican many times in my life (and have little option to do otherwise in most circumstances), but I could never support someone who is morally bankrupt. He has tried to destroy our country by aiming to divide and conquer us. I love my fellow Americans, whether or not they agree with me ideologically. I want us to return to that time (before Trumpism). I want to return to a time of two robust, “healthy” political parties. I want patriots like Liz Cheney, Mitt Romney, Adam Kinzinger, and other Republicans to restore the party of Lincoln. We must have two “healthy” parties to remain a Democracy. We are not “a failing country” as Trump has said. We are the greatest country on earth. We have tried to uphold ideals that give individuals more rights and freedoms than any other society on earth. We should not give them all away so easily now. They have been hard fought for….
I like how you are able to look at things from different angles. I’m a Catholic, and pro life - for all life, after people have been born as well. And not for unborn life at the expense of women who needlessly die, are heavily traumatised or are made infertile by being denied the medical care they’d need and that they would receive almost anywhere in the world.
I cant believe people call Cheney a RINO its amazing....
@gregoriancatmonk6904 I know right? Policy wise she was still awful.
I'd vote for Kinzinger some day if we ever get the party back.
What's crazy is MAGA are the true RINOs
Well, when you vote with democrats 95% of the time then, yeah, she was a republican in name only (RINO)
Thank You Tom Worth Jr.
You're very welcome :)
Lets all vote blue 💙 like our lives depend on it and seriously they do this time no to a wannabe dictator no to project 2025.
This is one of the most honest and well thought out opinions I have seen. Thank you for this!
Welcome. I hope other Republicans see the danger of a Trump presidency and vote their conscience rather than vote their party....this time. There's nothing wrong with voting outside one's party if you relate to that candidate's vision, policies, or whatever. That's the beauty of our country, our Constitution, our freedom.
It takes courage to look at patterns and changing… thank you for having courage.
Good to hear, Tom! We all accept you into the sane side.
I can imagine that saying you're going to vote democratic is a earth shattering occasion for you. Cheers to speaking your mind.
Proud of you.Thanks for voting for our Democracy....
This isn't a democracy, it's a constitutional republic...If you can keep it
Texas Veteran here, always pro Republican until Trump.
Someday I'd like to vote for Kinzinger. This year team Harris. I didn't smarten up until after J6. Suddenly the bad apples became "patriots". Not patriots. No pardons.
Also prolife but pro mind my own business because mothers aren't getting emergency treatment when needed.
Although I truly will never understand republicans because I so very deeply believe in women’s rights, lgbtq love and marry who they want, and in all immigrants including all of my grandparents coming over on the ships into Ellis island…being Jewish…it’s inspiring to see people come to realize dump is beyond a horror and so are his cultists….welcome to sanity, decency, acceptance, and honor.💙💙💙💙
Thank you for speaking out!
There’s a chance Trump only wins Texas by only 3 points. If we truly invested in Texas, he may lose it. Will be interested where the money goes the last couple of weeks in the campaign and we’ll know where this is headed.
I'm also super impressed with the historic nature of GOP coming out in support of and actually campaigning for the other party that is not anything that has ever happened in our politics before it's because we all recognize that democracy is at stake that the anger needs to go away so we can get work done for the people and not keep setting ourselves up to fail with a culture War
I thought RNC & DNC are hella boring. But 4 days on the edge of my seat and 5 1/2 rolls of TP to wipe my tears and my sides still hurt from laughing. I cried hard this was something Loving, Hope and Truth. Man to me When Republicans came on ,Oh I was so in tears. I was screamin that my America Right There Thats My America!!! It suck we all are here. But I do believe we can make a difference and a change for the better for ALL of us. Thanks for your time n vid
That roll call was something else! Quite a show.
@@MarkWalton-t9o Would you be kind an explain the roll call. I really dont know about it. I thought is was jumpin, each states and songs with everyone dancin to each state Now that was so cool
If both the RNC & DNC were hella BORING, what in the heck did you watch for 4 days that was obviously so good it had you on the edge of your seat? Did I miss something?
@@mwreyf1 Yeah, but I did too. I should have wrote I noramlly find all DNC & RNC boring. But I was very surprised at good the DNC was. Thnaks for calling me out to clarify.
A rational man from Texas I like the way you think pro life and pro Obama care !!!
I’m an independent who leans left, but I am thrilled to hear your perspective and comments that are echoing you , because I re as on want the “normal” republicans back… so much good comes from civil debate and compromise… MAGA is the party of “no” - even on the border deal they wanted until Trump snapped his fingers for them to fall in line… unless it’s some of the crazy unhelpful stuff they propose. They have broken Congress… and packed the Supreme Court with un-justices who leave me wondering how they sleep at night. Please don’t take any chances on losing the Exec branch too - if you can’t vote FOR Harris/Walz, think of it as a vote against MAGA with hope for restoring sanity to the GOP.
Nice to see a normal person talking politics.
I don’t see how anyone could vote for trump one time much less twice. He always been a disgrace.
Thanks for being real and telling it like it is! Glad you spoke up 💙😇❤
Thanks for your comments, as a black Democrat I hope you and other republicans like you get your party back. I remember when both parties had friends across the aisle and was doing lunch
and dinner together. Liz Cheney will go down in history as one of the main politicians who saved
Democracy.
There aren’t many of them at all, and we know each of them by name. The ones who risked everything to stand up against Trump while the rest of their party fell in line.
Registered Republican most of my adult life. I didn’t vote for Trump. I was shocked how many did. We can’t go back!
I constantly wonder if the GOP will finally abandon Trump if he loses this election. But how can it reform itself? What has happened to the MA GOP over the last couple years is a concerning case study. Put up moderate candidates and had a popular moderate governor reelected in 2018, once he was gone they excised any moderation and are all in for Trump. During the RNC roll call they called their state “MAGAchusetts.” They’d rather roll with the orange man than be electorally viable.
you are a courages American -- speaking out takes guts!
On the pro-life angle, what about when the baby is already DEAD and necrotic in the mother's womb. The baby SHOULD have been stillborn but it wasn't. Why do pro-lifers block the removal of an already dead fetus until the mother's womb is ravaged with infection and she's suffering and dying?
Also, on the pro-choice side, if they stopped using such vague terms about the issue and just explain it as in the previous paragraph, some of the restrictive laws would be loosened. Of course, the medical industry is partly to blame. If the baby is dead, they should call it something besides abortion. I used to be pro-life, but then my wife was pregnant at a time when Louisiana was writing insane laws. Then it happened all over the country before the Supreme Court intervened. I realized then that pro-lifers can't stop themselves from going too far in legislation. Sort of like letting vegans run the FDA.
Good for you sir! I am a Hillary voter and lifelong Democrat and we need people like you who I am most grateful for because I know it is hard to break from habits of a lifetime.
Decensy=sane people. Corruption is the opposite of moral compass. Vote BLUE 💙 powerful choice.
I voted Clinton, Bush,McCain, Romney, Clinton, Biden and now proudly Harris!
I voted Gore, Obama, Trump, Biden and now proudly Harris! :)
Yes! Harris! We need her socialist policies in the white house. Punish the rich!....Punish corporations with a 48% tax rate. Price controls on everything.
As a fellow north texan I am glad to see people just voting to get Trump out of politics forever. I am curious how MAGA will survive a loss like that exactly. Anyway even though im on the farthest left you can go and barely like Harris I’ll take anything just to keep Trump out of power again. Thanks for speaking out on this! Hope we get a break from the heat soon🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
I'm an Independent that has never liked Trump and dislike him even more this time around. You guys give me hope that more people will see thru his lies and save our nation.
Thank you, Tom. I admit sometimes it gets exhausting holding the line against Trump and his followers. It's heartening seeing people like you going public about holding the line as well. It gives me hope.
The fact that Pence won’t support him speaks volumes!
Hi, Tom!!! I happened to stumble up on your video tonight and I am so glad that I did. As a life-long democrat, I appreciate your perspectives regarding personal values and your presidential selection process. Although you and I may not share all the same exact views, I appreciate your opinion and the way you lay it all out. I just subscribed to your channel because you seem like the kind of cool guy that I could share a cup of coffee with and chat while discussing different issues objectively and in a respectful manner.
Thank you for sharing your perspectives. I enjoyed listening.
Thank you for your support and insight 🙏🙏🙏
I’m in my 60’s and a lifelong independent swing voter. I was leaning towards voting republican in 2016, but Ted Cruz and Donald Trump were non-starters for me. Ended up holding my nose and voting for Hillary. The Republican Party is not recognizable anymore and I will continue to vote blue exclusively until the GOP returns to the values and principles of the Reagan/Bush era.
Thank you for sharing your viewpoint. Hopefully your republican friends and family will follow suit.
Yes, that includes kicking cancuncruz out and Johnson and Rubio and gym Jordan on and on. Vote BLUE 💙 👍 ♥️
I’m a Democrat but respect any party’s point of view when they are aligned with what’s best for our country. I commend your commitment to country over party.🇺🇸
I left the gop when Trump became the nominee in 2016, I am very happy to be a democrat. I live in a very red city in Texas and many here are still very MAGA, my mom was a Democrat and my dad leaned Republican but I have no doubt he would be disgusted if he were still alive that Trump was ever president, my dad never liked Trump. Thanks for putting country over party! I am so proud of Adam Kinzinger for doing that also 🙂
Now if only other Texans would follow your lead!
Damn. I first qualified to vote for G H Bush too and did not like Clinton. Was always a R and last voted for McCain. Did not vote for Obama the second time. But Trump came around and showed me how so wrong my party was and left immediately. Voted against in 2016, voted happily for Biden the Great Statesman in 2020, and will vote for Hope and all that’s good this 2024.
Tom - don’t know you but I’m a native Texan. I voted republican for too many years but once I started looking at who was doing what for the American people I realized I was on the wrong side. I don’t always agree with things on the left, but they at least try.
So the extramarital affairs trump had weren’t a “no no”…
Exactly.
Thanks for openly sharing. I’m sure you will get some hate. I had a similar journey.
