elections.
Democrats Don't Care About
American Lives
My
article about Pop Kern, an 89-year-old kind white gentleman and how
Democrats seek to punish him for bogus “white privilege” received
a tremendous amount of positive response. A young relative of Pop Kern
wrote informing me that Pop Kern is a loyal Democrat. This is not surprising.
My black dad who passed away at age 90 was also a lifelong Democrat. Dad
drilled into my head that Democrats are for the working man and Republicans are
for the rich.
Respectfully,
I tried to gently convince an elderly family member that her Democratic Party
has dramatically changed. It is now the party of all things amoral,
anti-Christian, anti-freedom, and anti-American. Looking me firmly in the eye,
she stubbornly spouted, “I'm votin' for Biden!”
The
singular intention of the Democratic Party is to obtain power to control every
aspect of our lives. ObamaCare gave them godlike power to decide who lives and
who dies. If you refuse to give up your Second Amendment right to own a gun, no
healthcare for you. If you hold firm to your biblical convictions, no
healthcare for you.
Fake
news media allowed Obama to lie to the American people 29 times that ObamaCare
would allow them to keep health-care plans that they liked. This huge lie won
Obama the
Politifact “Lie of the Year” award. ObamaCare became law against the will
of the American people and cancer patients lost their lifesaving doctors.
ObamaCare was a major step in Democrats' mission to transform America into a
totally government-controlled nation. The lives of cancer patients did not
matter.
American
lives do not matter either regarding the invasion of illegal aliens. In defiance
of federal law, Democrats host sanctuary cities which protect illegal alien
rapists, murders, drug dealers, and career criminals. Outrageously, illegals
are gifted driver's licenses, healthcare, attorneys, allowed to vote and
numerous handouts unavailable to U.S. citizens.
Democrats
deem coddling illegals more important than American lives. Kate Steinle was
shot and killed by an illegal alien while strolling with her dad on a lazy
Sunday afternoon in San Francisco. Kate's murderer had been deported numerous
times and repeatedly welcomed back to the sanctuary city. Democrats acquitted
Kate's murderer and even voted down a law to punish deported
illegals who keep coming back.
Democrats'
vision for the perfect America includes transforming her into a wild, wild west
of sex, a society in which every perversion is legalized and citizens are
forced to celebrate. A memo exposed Obama's DoJ plan to legalize
12 perversions including pedophilia and bestiality. Colleges are
laying the groundwork by scolding us about our bigoted intolerance of
pedophiles.
Once
you realize that Democrats only care about furthering their agenda and American
lives do-not- matter, you understand their behavior. U.S. students are sick
with strange diseases due to untested illegal alien children being sent to public
schools.
Pediatricians
whose research confirms that transgender ideology is child abuse are persecuted,
fired, and blocked from media. Women who regret aborting their
babies are blocked from media. Women and little girls assaulted by men
posing as women in transgender-friendly restrooms are hidden from the public.
Feminists who fight transgenders destroying women’s sports are blocked from
media. Every truth that undercuts Democrats' lies and evil agenda is
blocked by fake news media.
President
Donald J. Trump is our only protection against Democrats and fake news media
implementing their vision of a new America, removed from her position as leader
of the free world. This is why they are repulsed by Trump's slogan, “Make
America Great Again.”
Their
only hope is to separate Trump from his supporters via a thousand cuts; lying
about him 24/7; spinning everything good he does into a negative; a reason to
impeach him.
By
reducing many of Obama's over-reaching regulations, Trump has our economy at
its strongest in 50 years. Black unemployment is at its lowest in U.S. history.
Democrats hate that blacks are doing so well under Trump. Clearly, black lives
matter to Trump, but not to their so-called advocates in the Democratic Party
and fake news media.
Iranian
terrorist Soleimani murdered and severely wounded hundreds of U.S troops using
roadside bombs. Soleimani planned attacks on U.S. Embassies to murder thousands
more Americans. Trump killed Soleimani. Remarkably, Democrats sought to spin
Trump acting to save American lives into a crime, a reason to impeach him. The
Democratic Party has become the home of pure hate and evil, obsessed with
gaining power.
Elderly
lifelong Democrats are unaware that their “working man” party has become an
anti-American and anti-Christian mob of hate-filled activists at war with
everyday Americans.
Straight
white men like elderly Pop Kern are number one on Democrats' hit list, targeted
for destruction.
I
ran into Pop Kern at the post office. With his great smile, he said, “I want to
thank you for what you wrote on that internet.” I asked, “Did you read it?” He
replied, “No, but I heard about it from Florida to Pittsburgh. Thanks for what
you wrote. I really appreciate it.”

Ruling Class Held Hostage
by Trump’s Impeachment
Every year 3 million
visitors make the pilgrimage to Ellis Island. It is estimated nearly
forty percent of all Americans can trace their ancestors to the 20 million
immigrants that were processed through New York and Ellis Island from 1892 to
1954. These prospective citizens were determined to escape
authoritarianism, soul grinding poverty, war and its aftermath, immutable class
structures as well as religious and ethnic persecution.
Once here they would
immerse themselves in learning English and the nation’s founding documents in
preparation for the most gut wrenching (passing the oral citizenship test) and
emotional (the swearing in ceremony) day in their lives. Thanks to their
life experience and their determination to be citizens of the only nation in
the history of mankind to be founded on the principle that all men are created
equal, these newly minted Americans were among the most loyal and most
well-versed in the nation’s founding.
What would the vast
majority of those that willingly left everything behind to travel for up to
three weeks, oftentimes across a storm-tossed ocean and relegated to the
unsanitary and wretched conditions in steerage, think of the impeachment of
Donald Trump?
Nearly all of the nations
whence these immigrants came were governed by an immutable class
structure. At the apex of this rigid class pyramid was either a monarchy
and its attendant birthright nobility or a dictatorship and its coercive administrative
hierarchy or a communist oligarchy and its implacable bureaucracy.
Class mobility was at the whim and discretion of the autocrat or the oligarchy.
These nameless and
faceless masses had virtually no say in their nation’s governance and they were
at the mercy of the economic and foreign policy of the ruling elites.
They were viewed as being grossly inferior, uneducable and deplorable --
thus mere pawns to be sacrificed in the country’s wars and were little more
than indentured servants to the ruling class.
On the other hand, thanks
to a Constitution constructed to prevent the ascendancy of any one faction into
a position of permanent power and the evolution of a rigid ruling class
hierarchy, the United States possessed the framework and opportunity for anyone
to succeed and live in peace and economic security thus attracting millions to
its shores.
However, beginning in the
1960’s many of those that came through Ellis Island began to notice a change in
the relatively benign and Constitution-oriented governing class. With the
exponential growth of government, a new and potentially destructive class
structure began to evolve, one that was reminiscent of ruling class supremacy
in those nations they had escaped.
A mindset, alien to 170
years of American history, took root amid overwhelming peace and
prosperity. A growing faction in the country began to believe that
they were pre-ordained to govern as they were superior to the unwashed masses,
particularly racial and ethnic minorities as well as those steeped in religion
and morality. Over the years the proponents of this belief infiltrated
the universities and the media-entertainment complex creating an ever-growing
army of narcissists and authoritarians which mutated into today’s American Ruling
Class.
Angelo Codevilla writing
in the American Spectator identified the characteristics of
the American Ruling Class as follows:
Today’s ruling class,
from Boston to San Diego, was formed by an educational system that exposed them
to the same ideas and gave them remarkably uniform guidance, as well as taste
and habits. Regardless of what business or profession they are in, their
road up included government channels and government money because, as
government has grown, its boundary with the rest of American life has become
indistinct. Many began their careers in government and leveraged their
way into the private sector.
Its attitude is key to
understanding our bipartisan ruling class. Its first tenet is that “we”
are the best and brightest while the rest of Americans are retrograde, racist,
and dysfunctional unless properly constrained.
Our ruling class’s agenda
is power for itself. While it stakes its claims through
intellectual-moral pretense, it holds power by one of the oldest and most prosaic
of means: patronage and promises thereof. Like left-wing parties always
and everywhere, it is a “machine,” that is, based on providing tangible rewards
to its members. Hence our ruling class’s standard approach to any and all
matters, its solution to any and all problems, is to increase the power of the
government-- meaning of those who run it, meaning themselves.
By taxing and parceling
out more than a third of what Americans produce through regulations that reach
deep into American life, our ruling class is making itself the arbiter of
wealth and poverty.
The ruling class is
keener to reform the American people’s family and spiritual lives than their
economic and civic ones. It believes that the Christian family (and the
orthodox Jewish one too) is rooted in and perpetuates the ignorance commonly
called religion that is the greatest barrier to human progress. This
dismissal of the American people’s intellectual, spiritual, and moral substance
is the very heart of what our ruling class is about.
[Lastly,] America’s best
and brightest believe themselves qualified and duty bound to direct the lives
of not only Americans but of foreigners as well. Its default solution to
international threats has been to commit blood and treasure to long-term,
twilight efforts to reform the world’s Vietnams, Somalias, Iraqs and
Afghanistans.
Since the Reagan era, the
American Ruling Class has succeeded in electing George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton,
George W. Bush and Barack Obama, all of whom were members in good standing.
Thus, by 2016 the ruling elites were thoroughly entrenched and dominant
throughout the halls of power. They were prepared to govern this
nation for many years to come as one of the flaws in the magnificent governing
blueprint set up by the founding fathers was the reality that this government
can only function with just two major political parties. Both political
party hierarchies had and fully intended to continue nominating candidates for
the presidency and Congress who were either beholden to or members of the
ruling class. The rank and file voters were left with only superficial
differences in the choice of candidates.
The election of Donald
Trump in 2016 was an act of defiance and a rebellion by the deplorables and a
devastating blow to the ruling elites. With his election, President
Trump began the process of a Republican Party divorce from the establishment --
which is now well underway. Thus, the ruling class’s political
hegemony is severely threatened. They cannot achieve their endgame
without de facto control of both parties. Which is why Donald Trump may
well be the most influential President in modern American history.
The Democrat party is now
becoming near exclusive home of the ruling class, as can be borne out by recent
Congressional elections. Before the 2018 mid-term elections, the richest 66
House districts were split 38 Democrats and 28 Republican. After the
election the Democrats held 56 and the Republicans 10 In the 15 districts
where at least 50% of the population have a college degree, all are represented
by Democrats as of 2018, whereas the Democrats controlled 13 of 15 in
2016.
Being relegated
exclusively to the Democrat party means that the ruling class must accommodate
and adopt the radical tenets of the much larger Marxist/socialist wing of the
Party if they wish to win the Party’s nominations for elective offices.
A self-defeating and ultimately destructive path as militant socialists
will, in due course, consume them. Alternatively, and in league with their
propaganda arm, the mainstream media, the ruling elites have pulled out all the
stops and abandoned any ethical, moral or legal restraints to get rid of Donald
Trump and recapture their previous hierarchical influence in the Republican
Party.
The abominably fabricated
and unconstitutional impeachment farce is the culmination of three years of
frustration and determination to rid the nation of the “threat” that is Donald
Trump’s takeover of a major political party and transformation of it into a
vehicle of populism. Which would allow the citizenry and not the elites
to determine the course of the nation’s future. In reality,
impeachment, endless investigations, fabrications and the constant vilification
of Donald Trump are aimed at intimidating the nameless and unwashed masses who
had the temerity and insolence to vote against the wishes of the ruling
class.
Out of 20 million
immigrants there are perhaps less than 100,000 of us living today that have any
memory of being processed through New York and Ellis Island during the 60+
years it was the gateway to America. The determination to invalidate an
election and destroy the Constitutional foundation of this country for the sake
of achieving unfettered political supremacy is not the United States we have
come to know and love. Despite their protestations to the contrary, the
ruling class and their public face, the Democratic Party, does not love this
country and its people and are, in fact, little different than the ruling
elites that caused so many to seek refuge in America.
Steyer’s promise to welcome illegals
is echoed by the other investor billionaire in the Democrats’ primary, Mike
Bloomberg, the former mayor of New York. In January, he promised to make
illegals comfortable with Americans’ money, telling the San Diego Union-Tribune:
Well, it’s a no brainer. You give
[a] pathway to citizenship to 11 million people. We’re not going to deport them
anyways, it’s outrageous. If you look in New York City, we make sure that
people felt comfortable, regardless of their immigration status, to come and
get city services. I was always determined that they would not be afraid to
come. Somebody could need like life-threatening things and does not get medical
care. This is not a game. You’ve got to make sure that they’re okay.
Housing costs in Bloomberg’s New
York are very high because it has huge
populations of illegal and legal
immigrants. The result is that it has a homeless population of roughly 92,000,
and also the nation’s highest
rate of homelessness, at 46
homeless for every 10,000 people.
High housing costs also make it
difficult for Americans to move into towns and cities that have better-paying
jobs, according to a 2017 study about the
rising wealth gap in the United States. Americans “are frozen where
they live,” said Tom Donohue, the CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, at a
January 9 meeting.
But nearly all of the Democrats in
the 2020 election have called for more migrants — without showing any concern
for the impact on Americans’ housing costs.
“We could afford to take in a
heartbeat another two million people,” Joe Biden told Democrats at an August
event in Des Moines, Iowa. “The idea that a country of 330 million people
is cannot absorb people who are in desperate need … is absolutely
bizarre … I would also move to increase the total number of
immigrants able to come to the United States.”
Sen. Elizabeth Warren’s
immigration plan, for example, is titled “A
Fair and Welcoming Immigration System.” It says:
We need expanded legal immigration
that will grow our economy, reunite families, and meet our labor market demands
… s president, I will immediately issue guidance to end criminal
prosecutions for simple administrative immigration violations … As
President, I’ll issue guidance ensuring that detention is only used where it is
actually necessary because an individual poses a flight or safety risk … I’ll
welcome 125,000 refugees in my first year, and ramping up to at least 175,000
refugees per year by the end of my first term.
The impact of federal immigration
policy on Americans’ housing costs is taboo among establishment reporters. But
those costs were touted by a group of investors lobbying Congress to raise
housing prices by importing more immigrants. A booklet by the Economic
Innovation Group says:
The relationship between population
growth and housing demand is clear. More people means more demand for housing,
and fewer people means less demand … As a result, a shrinking population will
lead to falling prices and a deteriorating, vacancy-plagued housing stock that
may take generations to clear
…
The potential for skilled immigrants
to boost local housing markets is clear. Notably, economist Albert Saiz (2007)
found a 1% increase in population from immigration causes housing rents and
house prices in U.S. cities to rise commensurately, by 1%
On January 9, Donohue noted New
Yorkers blocked the plan by Amazon and the city government to build a new
corporate headquarters in the city. The residents protested the development
plan partly because it would have driven up rents and housing costs, said
Donohue. “It is a very potent issue,” he observed.
A lobbying group for investors admits mass
migration helps investors in major coastal cities but 'fails' Americans in
heartland & rural towns. So it urges less immigration? No - it urges more
migration to spike family housing prices outside major cities! http://bit.ly/2VCZYUt
NYT Boosts Investors' Campaign for More

Another line they cut into: Illegals get free public housing as
impoverished Americans wait
Want
some perspective on why so many blue sanctuary cities have so many homeless
encampments hovering around?
Try the
reality that illegal immigrants are routinely given free public housing by the
U.S., based on the fact that they are uneducated, unskilled, and largely
unemployable. Those
are the criteria, and now importing poverty has never been easier.
Shockingly, this comes as millions of poor Americans are out in the cold
awaiting that housing that the original law was intended to help.
Thus, the
tent cities, and by coincidence, the worst of these emerging shantytowns are in
blue sanctuary cities loaded with illegal immigrants - Orange County, San
Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, New York...Is there a connection? At a minimum,
it's worth looking at.
The Trump
administration's Department of Housing and Urban Development is finally trying
to put a stop to it as 1.5 million illegals prepare to enter the U.S. this
year, and one can only wonder why they didn't do it yesterday.
The plan would scrap Clinton-era
regulations that allowed illegal
immigrants to sign up for
assistance
without having to disclose their
status.
Under the new Trump rules, not only
would the leaseholder using public housing have to be an eligible U.S. person,
but the government would verify all applicants through the Systematic Alien
Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) database, a federal system that’s used to
weed illegal immigrants out of other welfare programs.
Those already getting HUD assistance would
have to go through a new verification, though it would be over a period of time
and wouldn’t all come at once.
“We’ve got our own people to house and need to take care of our
citizens,” an administration official told The Washington Times. “Because of
past loopholes in HUD guidance, illegal
aliens were able to live in free public housing desperately needed by so many
of our own citizens. As illegal aliens attempt to swarm our borders, we’re
sending the message that you can’t live off of American welfare on the taxpayers’
dime.”
The Times
notes that the rules are confusingly contradictary, and some illegal immigrant
families are getting full rides based on just one member being born in the
U.S. The pregnant caravaner who calculatingly slipped across the U.S.
in San Diego late last year, only to have her baby the next day, now, along
with her entire family, gets that free ride on government housing. Plus lots of cheesy news coverage about how
heartwarming it all is. That's a lot cheaper than any housing she's going to
find back in Tegucigalpa.
Migrants
would be almost fools not to take the offering.
The
problem of course is that Americans who paid into these programs, and the
subset who find themselves in dire circumstances, are in fact being shut out.
The
fill-the-pews Catholic archbishops may love to tout the virtues of illegal
immigrants and wave signs about getting 'justice" for them, but the
hard fact here is that these foreign nationals are stealing from
others as they take this housing benefit under legal technicalities.
That's not a good thing under anyone's theological law. But hypocrisy is
comfortable ground for the entire open borders lobby as they shamelessly
celebrate lawbreaking at the border, leaving the impoverished of the U.S.
out cold.
The Trump
administration is trying to have this outrage fixed by summer. But don't
imagine it won't be without the open-borders lawsuits, the media sob stories,
the leftist judges, and the scolding clerics.
Los Angeles County Pays Over a Billion in
Welfare to Illegal Aliens Over Two Years
In 2015 and 2016, Los Angeles County paid nearly $1.3
billion in welfare funds to illegal aliens and their families. That figure
amounts to 25 percent of the total spent on the county’s entire needy
population, according to Fox
News.
The state of California is home to more illegal aliens
than any other state in the country. Approximately one in five illegal aliens
lives in California, Pew reported.
Approximately a quarter of California’s 4 million illegal
immigrants reside in Los Angeles County. The county allows illegal immigrant
parents with children born in the United States to seek welfare and food stamp
benefits.
The welfare benefits data acquired by Fox News comes from
the Los Angeles County Department of Public Social Services and shows welfare
and food stamp costs for the county’s entire population were $3.1 billion in
2015, $2.9 billion in 2016.
The data also shows that during the first five months of
2017, more than 60,000 families received a total of $181 million.
Over 58,000 families received a total of $602 million in
benefits in 2015 and more than 64,000 families received a total of $675 million
in 2016.
Robert Rector, a Heritage Foundation senior fellow who
studies poverty and illegal
immigration, told Fox the costs represent “the tip of
the iceberg.”
“They get $3 in benefits for every $1 they spend,” Rector
said. It can cost the government a total of $24,000 per year per family to pay
for things like education, police, fire, medical, and subsidized housing.
In February of 2019, the Los Angeles city council signed
a resolution making it a sanctuary city. The resolution did not provide any new
legal protections to their immigrants, but instead solidified existing
policies.
In October 2017, former California governor Jerry Brown
signed SB
54 into law. This bill made California, in
Brown’s own words, a “sanctuary state.” The Justice Department filed a
lawsuit against the State of California over the law. A federal
judge dismissed that suit in July. SB 54 took effect on Jan. 1, 2018.
According
to Center for Immigration Studies, “The new law does many
things: It forbids all localities from cooperating with ICE detainer notices,
it bars any law enforcement officer from participating in the popular 287(g) program,
and it prevents state and local police from inquiring about individuals’
immigration status.”
Some counties in California have protested its
implementation and joined the Trump administration’s lawsuit against the
state.
California’s campaign to provide public services to
illegal immigrants did not end with the exit of Jerry Brown. His
successor, Gavin Newsom, is just as focused as Brown in funding programs
for illegal residents at the expense of California taxpayers.
California’s budget earmarks millions of dollars annually
to the One California program, which provides free legal assistance to all
aliens, including those facing deportation, and makes California’s public
universities easier for illegal-alien students to attend.
According to the Fiscal Burden of Illegal Immigration on
United States Taxpayers 2017
report, for the estimated 12.5 million illegal immigrants
living in the country, the resulting cost is a $116 billion burden on
the national economy and taxpayers each year, after deducting the $19 billion
in taxes paid by some of those illegal immigrants.

Exclusive–Mo Brooks: ‘Masters of the Universe’ Want More
Immigration to ‘Decrease Incomes of Americans’
Bob Gathany / AL.com via AP
3:19
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) says the “Masters of
the Universe” want more legal immigration to the United States to further
diminish the incomes of American working and middle-class families.
In an exclusive interview with SiriusXM Patriot’s Breitbart News Tonight, Brooks said
recent demands to increase the number of foreign workers coming to the U.S. to
compete against American citizens for jobs is merely an effort by corporations
to deplete the earnings of Americans.
Brooks said:
I’m not a part of the Masters of the Universe crowd who thinks we
ought to be bringing in all this foreign labor and the reason for it is pure economics. This is the chance for Americans and lawful immigrants who are already here who are working
in the blue-collar trades, who are working in the places where
wages are not as high they ought to be, this is their chance to prosper. [Emphasis added]
And to the extent you import a lot of foreign labor, then you are
artificially increasing the labor supply which in turn means that you’re
artificially suppressing the wages of American families who are often hard-pressed to make ends meet So I
respectfully disagree that we need more foreign labor, to the contrary, I would like to see us reduce the foreign labor that comes into
America so that American families who are struggling to make ends meet, particularly those of us who are earning the least
amounts, would be better to take care of
their own families and less likely to be dependent on the welfare. [Emphasis added]
Brooks said Democrats support for mass legal immigration is
centered on the premise that increasing the number of foreign workers in the
U.S. will decrease Americans’ wages, thus forcing many into poverty and
becoming welfare recipients. This, Brooks said, is how Democrats create a permanent
dependent class of Democrat voters.
“Don’t get me wrong, [Democrats] want to decrease the incomes of
Americans so that they’re dependent on welfare,” Brooks said.
That makes them in turn likely Democrat voters and the best way to
do that is to have a huge surge in the labor supply, particularly illegal
aliens, that will depress their wages therefore creating more Democrats who are dependent on welfare at the same time as they
bring in illegal aliens who also under Democrat doctrine will be allowed to vote
and those types of voters, they’re also dependent on welfare. [Emphasis added]
“About 70 percent of illegal alien households are on welfare …
plus this is a bloc of voters that seems unusually susceptible to the racial
divisions that the Democrats advance,” Brooks said. “You have to look at the
big picture in all of this, and to me, we should not be importing as much
foreign labor as we are. We should be helping the least among us earn more and
importing foreign labor that suppresses wages is not the way to do that.”
Currently, the U.S. admits more than 1.2 legal immigrants
annually, with the vast majority deriving from chain migration, whereby newly
naturalized citizens can bring an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the
country. In 2017, the foreign-born population reached a record high of 44.5 million.
The U.S. is on track to import about 15 million new foreign-born voters in the next
two decades should current legal immigration levels continue. Those 15
million new foreign-born voters include about eight million who will arrive in
the country through chain migration, where newly naturalized citizens can bring
an unlimited number of foreign relatives to the country.
Breitbart
News Tonight broadcasts live on SiriusXM Patriot Channel 125
from 9:00 p.m. to Midnight Eastern (6:00 p.m.-9:00 p.m. Pacific).
A Texas Democrat whom the Democrat establishment embraced has a big loss.
Before Robert “Beto” Francis O’Rourke’s frenetic mannerisms, weird statements, and bold call for total gun confiscation knocked him out of the Democrat presidential primaries, he was considered one of the great hopes of the Democrat Party in Texas. After all, in 2018, in the great, red state of Texas, he had almost beaten Senator Ted Cruz’s bid for reelection.
Eliz Markowitz was Beto’s designated successor and really thought she could win in Texas House District 28, a Houston suburb. But just like Beto, Markowitz flamed out, although more spectacularly than Beto did.
Markowitz, a Ph.D. who calls herself “doctor” (making her as pretentious as Jill Biden), is a garden-variety 21st century Democrat. With her specialty in teacher training, Markowitz's major platform stance was about education. Mostly, she wanted more money for public schools, although she should get kudos for promoting vocational training.
Markowitz also wanted more Obamacare, an end to the war on drugs and “mass incarceration,” the usual climate change wealth redistribution and return to a pre-modern era, gun control, immigration reform that sounds remarkably like a call for amnesty and open borders, and, of course, an end to photo ID for elections. No wonder the Democrat establishment fell in love with her.
That love meant that Markowitz’s defeat wasn’t for want of trying on the part of that same Democrat establishment. Beto himself was at her side most of the way (which might have been part of her problem). Beto also placed at her disposal Powered by People, a political action committee that he had founded. The PAC put 1,000 people on the ground to help Markowitz’s campaign.
If that kind of manpower wasn’t enough, the perennial promise of turning Texas blue brought Markowitz outside help too. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas, LPAC (“the future is female queer intersectional OURS”) and EMILY’s List were among the leftist political groups that gave her their support and helped her raise hundreds of thousands of dollars from donors outside of Texas.
That kind of support also helped Markowitz catch the eye of national presidential candidates. She received endorsements from Biden and Warren.
Thank you for your support, Vice-President @JoeBiden! Let’s win HD28 in 11 days and set the tone for 2020! @texasdemocrats @DemRedistrict @dlcc @FtBendDems @FliptheTXhouse @AnniesListTX @FutureNowUSA #texas @ProgressTX @hdcc #democrats #vote #voteblue #txlege #ThursdayWisdom
344 people are talking about this
In addition, both Michael Bloomberg and Julián “abortion rights for transgender women” Castro campaigned at her side.
Yet Markowitz still lost.
Not only did she lose, she lost badly. Her Republican opponent, Gary Gates, beat her by 16 points. Although District 28 has historically voted Republican, this was one of the Districts that Beto almost won when he ran against Ted Cruz in 2018. Even Hillary lost it by only 10 points when she was running against Trump in 2016. Given that trend – Hillary loses by 10 points, Beto by only 3 points – it was reasonable to believe that Markowitz could eke out a victory. But it was not to be.
It’s tempting to look at off-season local races and read into them national trends. It’s especially tempting to Democrats when they win in an off-season election.
For now, we’ll say only that, in the midst of a booming economy and a presidential impeachment that Americans are assiduously ignoring, enough voters turned out in an off-season Texas election to give a Republican candidate for the House of Representatives a resounding victory. Make of that what you will.
