Issues

A recent Wall Street Journal analysis shows that genuine “swing states” are down. Forty-five of the fifty states have voted for one party or the other at least four times during the last five elections.

The Iowa caucus results are interesting as usual. For the Republicans, Ted Cruz outworked and outhustled all comers as TCR predicted months ago, winning most of the vote and he certainly punches a ticket deep into the GOP primary season.

At TCR, we have been interviewing and evaluating candidates for fourteen years. Over that time, there are a handful of candidates that basically blew us away. James Lloyd is the latest.

In a city that is almost 2-1 Democratic, Bill King, in the non-partisan Mayoral election came oh so close.

Just say “no” to career politicians like Sylvester Turner, and robotic supporters on Houston’s City Council or Mayor Annise Parker’s misguided “it’s about me” liberalism.

As we all celebrate and give thanks for living in a nation founded on individual freedom, we need to remember eternal vigilance is the price of that freedom.

The people have overwhelmingly rejected the over-reaching HERO ordinance by 61% to 39%.

It was an interesting election with Bill King and Sylvester Turner emerging in the Mayoral runoff. King was able to consolidate the “run government as a business” voters and Sylvester, the liberal Democrats.

Let’s see how this played out. Bob McNair is sympathetic to conservative causes so he sends a $10,000 donation to Campaign For Houston, which is fighting Mayor Parker’s overreaching so-called “equal rights” ordinance.

Last Monday, with just a week left before early voting begins, Campaign for Houston took to the Houston television airwaves with a hard-hitting commercial against Houston’s Proposition 1.
