Damn right, I'll help them by denying Trump my vote. There are vast numbers of other Texans and other Americans who are the same way. And it's you Trumpsters fault for choosing an unfit President. I started my NeverTrump thread in February 2016 which documents how long I've been NeverTrump and was NeverTrump even back in 2015. The coming destruction of the GOP is on you people.

These stories tell the story. Mexican-Americans are a major part of the TX population. Their turnout has always been low and Bush and Abbott have made outreach efforts winning 30-40% of TX hispanic voters for the GOP. But now we have a Republican President who has made trashing Mexicans, including Mexican Americans, a feature of his campaign. Now he's even mobilized a Trumpster to slaughter them when they;re shopping for school supplies. There is going to be a consequence for these attacks. Donald Trump is doing his damnedness to turn out the hispanic vote and make it BLUE.

Here is why Cruz barely scraped out a victory in 2018 and why Cornyn and other Republicans are scared for the future:
