'Texas is going to be red forever,' GOP leader says in rallying crowd at 'MAGA Meetup'

[RandySF]

GEORGETOWN — Roughly 150 mostly maskless people filled spaced-out seats at the Georgetown Community Center as they eagerly awaited the arrival of Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel during a “MAGA Meetup” put on by the Trump Victory organization Wednesday.

But it was Texas GOP Chairman Allen West who received the earliest ovation of the afternoon when he made a surprise appearance nearly 30 minutes before McDaniel took the stage.

“Why is it so quiet in here?” West asked as the community center started to fill out.

The buzz West created was immediately visible as people formed a line in an attempt to snag a photo with the state’s new GOP Chair.

As the line started to shorten, McDaniel and RNC co-chair Tommy Hicks arrived to a roaring ovation. After a brief introduction, McDaniel quickly went after Democrats in front of a mostly filled room of energetic supporters holding Trump yard signs and “Keep America Great” posters.

“This election exemplifies the choice of the America that we are going to have for our future generations like no other," McDaniel said. Democrats want to fundamentally transform this nation into a nation that we will not recognize.

4. And the Third Reich was going to last a thousand years

Hope everyone at this meetup doesn't get Covid 19. Because that would be a dirty rotten shame.

5. Allen West is proof that the GOP lost its fucking mind long before Trump came along.

7. In their minds

Give it 4 or 6 years and itll flip forever blue

8. I think Beto can beat Cruz next time

[vercetti2021]

9. 2024

It'll be highly possible. If Cornyn pulls out a win. It'll be his last tenure in Texas. 2026? Forget it. Texas will be a blue state

10. Keep having maskless get togethers and 'forever' isn't going to last very long.

11. I don't really think so.

I know some Californians who have moved there lately and they are definitely voting blue. This is only one example, but it is happening with increasing frequency. Not enough local/regional talent to fill corporate positions.

12. "...red forever...' We'll see about that.

In my little neighborhood of around 1000 homes my recent bike and drive around recently saw tons of Biden/Harris signs. Not one for Deadbeat Donnie or his cohorts. Now there may be some magats around in the neighborhood but so far they're keeping their heads down.

13. In the 2016 Presidential there was only a 807K voting difference in Texas.

That ain't zip for a State that size. It's not "red" now.
