I’ll be in the line with bells on when the office opens!
💙VOTE BLUE💙VOTE BLUE💙
Honestly you are correct, I pray you WIN, because JOHN Cornyn is a Disgrace, he has His Rich donors to please, and MITCH MCCONNELL and DONALD TRUMP, so All of the poor and poorest people they pour dust on their heads.
Show the POOR and POOREST that you CARE and you will fight to make sure they lives are Changed for the BETTER.
Americans don’t care, they are vile fascists. How else did a pos like Trump get elected.
@Jim Battersbee trump got elected by ONLY 25% of the eligible voters.! It was huge numbers of NON VOTERS and 3rd party votes that GAVE him the win. Get him out by a landslide to show the Court and Military.what the people want.
@Jim Battersbee Agree!
@John Nordby Gee wiz, another good comment…
Thank you for your service to our country Ma’am. You are a REAL American patriot. Not the kind that throw the word around while waving the trump flag above the American flag. That’s called treason!
There is a new cleansing product called VOTE. It’s is specifically designed to remove stubborn and nasty ORANGE stains…
BLM is for brain dead idiots
@SoCal Surfer16 So then, you must be a HUGE BLM supporter!
@SoCal Surfer16
If BLM to God, then you matter only to Satan!
@SoCal Surfer16 HELLO RUSSIAN DEPLORABLE. HOW IS THE WEATHER IN RUSSIA?
If I lived in Texas I will definitely vote for this woman for senator.
Me too
@Kassandra Ahuero Me three!
2020 will be another year celebrated as American independence from tyranny.
LETS GO TEXAS. WE WANT TO SEE THE STATE FLIP BLUE. START THAT BLUE WAVE GOING
Gatesville tx voting blue as soon as the polls open up!
I believe that Mss. Hegar will do great, in her debates, especially after seeing J Harris’s performance against L. Graham last week. I am so impressed with the new generation!
LADY GRAHAM WAS SHOOK HENNY
I’m voting for you because you’re not Cornyn. A lot of us are. Trust me.
I am too. Do we have to reside in her district?
@Ifemi F She is running for a federal senate position so anyone in the state can vote for her. I know Cornyn was running ads saying he was running against West but he is running against Hegar.
Chrissyce Aweomeeee. Thank you!!!!
People like MJ Hegar serve our country. People like John Cornyn feast off of our country.
Cornyn is Mitch McConnell’s right hand man in the Senate.
WHY DONT YALL EVER TALK ABOUT MARTIN LUTHER KINGS FIGHT FOR BLACK REPARATIONS!?!?!?!?
Trump will be voted out for stopping Stimulus Checks !
AND Healthcare DURING a Deadly Pandemic
Trump and the Republicans are willing to drive the USA into a depression, if it means they can disenfranchise enough democrat voters to win. Trump and his Republican enablers know that they are in trouble and that their only hope is to disenfranchise as many Americans as possible. It is not only Trump’s crippling of the Post Office it is also by their doing all they can to maximize the number of folks evicted prior to the election.
That is, in addition to the crippling of the US Post Office Trump and his Republican enablers are working to make sure Americans do not have enough money to pay rent or mortgages. In their minds the more folks that get evicted the easier it is for the Republicans to disenfranchise them; – – – it will make it that much harder for the evicted to get registered with a correct address in time for the election and that much easier for the Republicans to deny their ballots.
It is estimated that somewhere in the area of 20 million to 40 million Americans could be evicted before the election without another COVID-19 rescue package; – – – is it any wonder that Moscow Mitch has let the Senate recess until after Labor day without approving another COVID-19 Rescue bill?
BTW – Steve Mnuchin was a wonderful choice for Trump to pair with Mark Meadows to negotiate; – – – Steve Mnuchin made millions in 2008 – 2009 buying up foreclosed properties at fire sale prices.
He knows he is losing that’s why he is trying to burn it to the ground on the way out.
The fact that NONE of the GOP in Texas sees that it’s wrong to have only 1 mail in ballot box for a county of 2 or 4 million, is why you need to Vote BLUE!! They only way they can win if they cheat! Vote in numbers too high for them to dispute! America…they DON’T want YOUR votes to count! The more votes counted, the more chances of them losing!
VOTER SUPPRESSION …
VOTE REPUBLICANS OUT!!!!!
DESPICABLE UNAMERICAN
i wouldn’t be surprised to hear about forced closures of polling sites
@r nhim Florida voters couldn’t get in to register because they couldn’t get into the online registration. It just so happens to not work on the final day of registration? They had 2 years to work on this process since midterms. They should have known about the high volume of possible registrations. This is blatant voter suppression.
Please good people of Texas, Vote for the Democrats up and down the ticket and give the big win to Joe Biden as well!!!!!
Working hard in Texas to over throw Cornyn……..even though the Governor is suppressing votes with 1 drop box per county…..may those lawsuits against Abbott prevail this week. Hager has my vote! We need her fresh new ideas and to flip the Senate to help all Americans!!
Abbot needs to go!
And Lt Gov Patrick, and AG Paxton, and… All TX GOP suing Abbott to rescind his extra 6 days of early voting during a pandemic.
She’s the type of women American girls need to look up to. Not models like Melania Trump
Yee gods, I hope girls aren’t looking up to Melanoma!
Exactly!!! I’m not American, but I am staggered, at how many strong, intelligent, inspirational women there are in the Dems! Those ladies are role models, not the pathetic women in the Republican party!
oh yes
And ones that didn’t pose nude!!!!
This is your chance to see Trump for what he really is. Texans must pay attention and see the damage Trump has done since he’s been in office. Trump’s not interested in making America great again, instead has divided your country since in office. He is only interested in lining his own pockets, his family and the rich and privileged. It beggars belief that intelligent Americans believe him. He has done nothing for the disadvantaged Americans, accept be reckless with a brazen disregard for all Americans. America is one of the top countries in the world at the moment with such a high covid deaths all on his watch. He is nothing more than an insane, psychotic, narcissistic and habitual liar America has ever had in the White House. The whole world is watching.
A disgrace Trump wants to tear down excess to health insurance and deny coverage. This sends shivers down my spine and I live on the other side of the world
I’ll tell you what ….. this candidate has her head on straight. She is a true leader. Strong and Compassionate, Decent and Caring. More than anything else… she has foresight. She’ll do right by Texans.
I’m in Texas. I ‘m voting straight democrat in this election. I’m trying to educate myself on all of the democrats running for the smaller elections. This health care issue is a big thing down here. So many people are losing their employer sponsored health care due to layoffs and experiencing the shock of how much COBRA coverage is.
