I shall not address anything but this in Rio Grande Valley Politics:
Voters who split their tickets despite strong party loyalties likely did so because of specific issues with one or two particular candidates, said Gary Mounce, a political science professor at the University of Texas-Pan American.
“They made that one exception for moral reasons or personal reasons,” he said of his students, many of whom split their tickets to avoid scandal-plagued judicial candidate Jesse Contreras.
Republican candidates, including Cornyn and Texas House hopeful Javier Villalobos, warned during their races that Rio Grande Valley voters risked being taken for granted by their beloved Democratic Party.
“(Many Valley voters) voted Democrat all their lives because their families voted Democrat, but I think it’s important to look past the party and vote for the candidate,” Laura Elizabeth Morales, a member the Young Conservatives of Texas, said Tuesday evening as election results rolled in.
And that’s all I have to say.
In the meantime, I accept the nation’s challenge to rebuild, reinvigorate and reshape the Conservative Movement. I don’t give up on my cause nor my beliefs and I pledge as long as it takes to secure a strong, advanced and technologically sound resurgent Conservative Movement.
If you agree then join me in this cause. It’s far from over.
Congratulations Democrats for your victories, I hope you’ll remember your promise about Country First and bipartisanship.
