Texas Republicans Running on 1 Issue

Literally 99% of TV campaign commercials are focusing on border control because you know there a no other issues in this country to deal with. The recommendations of the world renowned Texas Border Patrol Council appear in about 75% of the commercials. This is not an exaggeration as I don't recall an advertisement discussing another topic

We got candidates for Agricultural Commissioner, Supreme Court and Comptroller who find a way to talk exclusively about border control

Thank god there are no other important issues in Texas to be concerned about like education, the economy or infrastructure Its a strange world Republicans live in

Oh and by the way while Republican ads run just about every commercial segment, I don't think I've seen a single Democratic ad yet

The right wing candidates for Portman’s seat are obsessed with immigrants and “Biden’s open borders” always mentioned first and foremost.

After that, it’s “I am going to fix the supply chain”. One guy promises to make everyone speak English.

As you said, aren’t we lucky to have no other important issues beyond these things? Infrastructure, environment, wages for working families, health care? By God we have to campaign on ordering everyone to speak English!

Indeed, it’s a very strange world Republicans live in. And I am still waiting for a Dem ad to counter the many Republican ads they show dozens of times every evening.
