After reading so many different takes on the why this happened so far. I know one thing. The grass roots around my area in Flower Mound did our part! We had no help from anywhere including the Paxton campaign. Abbotts App was a great texting tool but missed the ground game! We did not! We rallied, block walked empty precincts. Got volunteers out of the woodwork to volunteer and adopt empty or inactive precincts. We met for coffee with neighbors to discuss issues. We got signs out in mass! We paid for it out of our pockets! We took work off to co ordinate and send data out to who ever needed it. We taught new volunteers to block walk. We set up poll greeting tents at the crack of dawn with hand out swag and flags for two weeks at multiple locations. We held interviews with international media on 2 occasions with the blessing of our county chair. We hand signed 100’s of letters on multiple occasions! We wrote letters for our own precincts to mail or pass out. We even trained for and became judges on election day for 15 hours straight! We held the line as Best we could! The whole time thinking that the RPT was doing their part. We did not let up or allow negative polls to influence us. We fought the Good Fight! We did our part! We can be proud of that with no regrets. We will never give in or give up! We have the lord on our side. Now we need to take a really hard look at our leadership! 🇺🇸❤️🤠

And you lost.

Next time try demanding your Leaders in D.C. actually do things to benefit Working Class Americans instead of benefiting Wall Street New York Billionaires who commit Treason for a foreign country and wildly print new dollars to destroy our life savings.

We Lost! Taking a hard look at all of it is needed for sure! Did you loose your life savings? Taxes will be going up with this new regime, not down. Regulations will be added not removed. Illegals will multiply not decline. Security and protection will be less not more. Us, working class Americans will end paying a higher price not less!

I only lost 45 percent of my life savings when Trump and Republicans increased the money supply M2 45% from 2020 - 2021.

Exactly what I was trying to tell the party leadership and Abbott This is why I have called for Randall to resign We need new , untuned, leadership

I wish you hadn’t been so vocal for school choice subsidies since that wasn’t your primary job. But I appreciate you speaking out against Abbott and his failure to grow the party. We wasted four special sessions on vouchers while the state had bigger issues to solve.

This election wasn’t about school choice or prices - until we realize this ridiculous bickering isn’t the answer we are not moving. Look at how many votes we got - then look at who in our party campaigned against us. Cornyn, Roger’s, Robe, Bush and many more. You see they have been two Republican Party groups in Texas for a long time. The doers and the do nothings. We now know who is who.

ALL Politics is Identity Politics.

Ignoring reality and pretending and behaving like it's not is a recipe for Losing, as we saw last Tuesday.

The problem is Randall did nothing after being elected. What does that say?

After every catastrophic loss… God uses a remnant to lead us back.

God bless everybody who tried to make November a different outcome. Now we have to look in the mirror and get to work.

A year ago I decided to leave the Republican Party. I found the power structure to be offensive with the leaders making sure that ordinary Republicans never get a voice. The structure is rigged and I was tired of fighting it. While I still tend to vote for Republican candidates, I'm done with the party.

Brandon and I discuss these issues frequently. We don’t agree on everything, but we can have healthy debates. I hope he is successful in his lawsuit against the state. It would be a game-changer. Thanks for re-posting.
