A couple of years after former President Trump made significant gains in often Hispanic-majority Democrat counties along the United States-Mexico border in Texas, a wave of Democrats in one particular community are switching parties to join the GOP.
In Terrell County, Texas, the New York Times reports that multiple elected officials are opting to run — for the first time — as Republicans rather than as Democrats in a “quiet political upheaval” across U.S. border towns, fueled mostly by rising crime and constant waves of illegal immigration. The Times reports:
First, the Democratic county judge said she would seek another term — as a Republican. Then the county clerk and the treasurer decided that they too would abandon

I had wondered if many Dems would find that their party has gone too far out in the ozone. I would be that the Dems switching parties were on the conservative side of being a Dem and no longer find it a good place to be.

The entire county has fewer than 1000 people, probably none of whom can identify with the modern woke Democrat party.

Flipping, or just switching uniforms?

I honestly believe you are going to see this happening more and more often in rural areas and small towns. Hispanics in those areas are deeply Christian and very conservative. They are finally seeing what the Demon-Rats truly stand for, which is not what they believe at all.
Sadly, Hispanics in big cities tend to have lost most of their culture and just follow the Demon-Rats like brain-dead monkeys. They continue to vote for Demon-Rats, and Demon-Rats continue to abuse them and put blacks and illegal aliens over them every time. You can't fix stupid!!!

I doubt any of these moogs is sincere about anything except retsining power. Primary them ALL!! Remind everyone that they supported FJB. Remind everyone that their sincerity and judgement helped to destroy everyone's lives.
Who gives a DAMN whether they hang their hat beside a D or an R. If they kow-towed to FJB, they must go.

Why hasn’t Gov Abbott protected the TX border, what are his excuses?
Time for President Trump to support Lt Col
Allen West for Gov of Texas…
time for serious border protection starting in TX.

I smell a rat. These people will still vote for the other side. Interesting and clever tactic. Say what you will, the Demoncrats know how to win because the ends justify the means for them.

They've read the Rat internal polls. ''Yikes, I've got to pretend to be Republican (puke) until after the election. Don't want to lose my power and gravy train.''

46 dim senators voted to make it legal for a woman to abort her child anytime during her 9 month pregnancy. What kind of person can support that?

Why would people want to own property that illegal non-citizens are crossing, robbing, raping, killing, trashing or using as a path into a country where they can continue to rob the taxpayers for the rest of their lives and their childrens' lives? It's just crazy.

This is good news, but the voters in those districts and areas need to pay close attention to these newly minted Republicans. What do they say as opposed to what do they do? If they still act like dems, vote them out at the first opportunity!

Democrats are flipping to Republicans because they don’t have a prayer of being elected as Democrats. Beware.

Dems switching parties are about as trustworthy as libs leaving blue states for red states. Here is South Louisiana, one of our dem politicians switched from dem to dem lite (independent) for re-election and when Constitutional Carry came up in the legislature, was the deciding vote in overriding our dem governor. Surprise, surprise, she went with the dem governor!

Trojan horses all. If their philosophy wasn't with the Dems they would BE Dems.
