In Texas, it's the pro-gun voters. Their single issue. If Dems wanted to win in TX, they shouldn't come across as "gun grabbers" which is how the GOP often paints Dems.

This is why I continuously remind people Beto O’Rourke destroyed any chance he had of ever winning an election in Texas or just about any other state again when he announced “I’m going to take your guns.” Dumbest announcement ever.

The reason many voters are single issue voters is that they understand only one issue.

Dems could, potentially, do so much better in elections if they adopted states rights as a platform on a number of issues. On the national level just focus on foreign policy and unrigging the economy.

No. States rights is a terrible issue to run on.

So every issue should be nationalized? Force one approach on every issue on the whole country, even on states that don’t want it? You may want people like Cruz and MTG getting a say on every issue that affects your life, but I say no thanks.

No, I didn’t say that. I said states rights is a terrible issue to run an election on. How did you get all of that from that one statement?

Like I don’t think women’s reproductive rights should be left up to the states. I don’t think birthright citizenship should be left up to the states. I don’t think gay marriage should be left up to the states.

Ok, so that means you want Donald Trump and the Republican controlled House and Senate to have the authority to outlaw gay marriage in all 50 states?
