Respond to Texas is turning blue because Trump and the GOP govern like DemocratsDavid Leach • June 20, 2019an 18-point lead , Ted Cruz only managed to squeak out a victory of 2.6 percentage points. In the end, it was the closest a Democrat came to toppling a Republican incumbent U.S. Senator since 1978 when John Tower won against Democrat Bob Krueger by half a percentage point.the Texas Senator abandoned his principles to embrace him) hailed the win as proof that Texas is still “red,” and Trump will easily win the state in 2020.several state-level advances in Texas in 2018, so many that the Lone Star State is no longer considered “reliably red” according to Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) who faces re-election in 2020. “We are, I think, no longer the reliably red state we have been. We are at risk of turning purple. And if we don’t do our job, then we could turn blue in the coming years.” they have abandoned the conservative values they claim to possess and have governed like Democrats. Cornyn — who carries a 33% (F) Liberty Score® at Conservative Review — is a textbook example of why Republicans are facing certain extinction. However, the Trumpification of the GOP is playing a big part as well.In the 2018 midterms, the GOP’s broken promises mixed with Trump consistently abysmal approval numbers led to the Blue Tsunami that gave Democrats their largest midterm victory since Watergate . And with 2020 on the horizon, both of these factors portend very dark days ahead for Republicans. Recent polls continue to show Trump’s weak political standing, and Republicans fear , with his name at the top of the ticket, he will be the final nail in their well-deserved coffin. According to Republican analysts, the one common thread making this likely is Trump’s low approval and high disapproval numbers and the consistency of these numbers throughout his presidency.
