Cruz is a lying pos. Trump insults his wife and a month later he announces he supports Trump. Cruz calls T a pathological liar then welcomes his support. He is a clown.
Voting for Colin will not make my kids of gdks gay or Tran. You do know there a openly gay republican leaders don't you.
I have never voted dem but I will choose between Colin or some unknown libertarian.
Colin and the rest of the Texas dems vote in lock step with Pelosi & AOC.
Supporting Colin is 100% Supporting the trans insanity, which is specifically targeting young children.
If you truly believe that voting dem won't adversely affect children... then you are very ignorant. They have made it clear for decades now that your children are actually "our children". The dems do not believe that you have parental rights. They believe that your kids belong to the state. This is exactly what they have said, over & over again. And now we can see what they plan to do with your kids.... trans & LGBT indoctrination.
You are a fool of you believe that they aren't trying to brainwash your kids.
They are telling you their agenda.... believe them.
You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. The % of trans people minuscule. There's not enough of them to seriously threaten or impact anyone - a distraction. On the other hand, their 'threat' is nothing when compared to Trump/Cruz, whose campaigns are built upon patently overt and unrepentant lies, anti-constitutional, anti-democratic, and even unchristian demagoguery. They are unpatriotic and in opposition to the basic values this country stands for, and the values said to be taught by Jesus. I wouldn't vote for Pelosi or AOC either. Better to vote your conscience if you can't vote for either. There is always an alternative.
Matt: 7: 15 "Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits.Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
You're making a mountain out of a mole hill. In 2020, there was a peaceful transition of power. Trump stepped down, and the disaster that has been the Biden admin came to power. That will happen again in 2024. And 2028. Trump is no more a "threat" to democracy than you or I.
But I will tell you what is a threat to our way of life. Open borders, runaway inflation, wars throughout the world, a packed Supreme Court, and woke policies. There is NOTHING about the current admin that represents the values taught by Jesus or our founders.
If one is Christian and/or conservative, there is only one viable option this election cycle. And it's quite obvious.
P.S. You're also minimizing the trans issue. Read a statistic that the number of children identifying as trans or non-binary is around 20%. That is truly scary.

There wasn't a peaceful transfer. Notwithstanding the non-peaceful riot Trump unleashed, Trump
unlawfully tried to overturn the election in the swing states by pressuring and cajoling state and elected and officials to rescind their certification of electors, and to embrace/substitute his fake slate of electors that he organized in each swing state. He pressured local election officials not to certify their vote counts. He unlawfully pressured the DOJ acting AG to write a letter falsely claiming widespread election fraud to state officials advising them to withdraw their certified electors. When non of that worked, he went to work on Pence to get him to unlawfully reject the certified electors in favor of his fake electors. When that didn't work he pressed Pence to send the certifications back to the states, or alternatively declare he couldn't determine the true electors and kick it to the House for them to elect the president. When that didn't work, he unleashed his mob that he summoned to DC on the Capitol to disrupt the certification proceedings - hardly a peaceful or lawful transition. He's an isolationist who will surrender western democratic values, and even Christian values around the world to Russia, China, and their allies. He has no appreciation of history, government, or importance of the US role on the world stage in the post WWII era.

Ok, I can agree with that. But there is NOTHING about Trump that represents the values taught by Jesus or our founders. He doesn't really care about borders except for a campaign issue because he torpedoed a bi-partisan border bill that we'll never get the chance again to pass, even if he is elected. He is as much responsible for inflation, that is down now, as Biden. Trump in one 4 year term added 8 trillion to the debt, as much as Obama did in two terms and as much as incurred in the first 200 years of our county. He is not a Conservative, nor a Christian. But, he did pack the SC.

Where did you get 20%? It's a sensationalized topic for the far right, but it's just not a serious threat to anyone. The stats are 0.6% 13 yrs. older identify as transgender, and no more than 1.4% age 13-17. While you and I may not understand it, it's an insignificant phenomena in terms of percentage of the overall population that's been around for millennia. It's not new, and it's not growing. It's just more visible today through communication technology and social media. It's only scary to some who are fearful of what they don't understand. It's a small aberration in the population.
