High Turnout Shows Texans Are 'Tired Of The Direction Things Are Going In' | Andrea Mitchell | MSNBC
What does the
Vietnam War
Corona Virus
& 60 minutes have in common?
………………TRUMP 🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️ AWAY FROM ALL 3
@White Jesus ask biden..he just contacted him
@superflybry123 enjoy the next few days.
Nothing can stop what is coming
@Christine Sortino dude…. Nobody I know, who knows people, who know others, have died.
Why did the needle sharing homeless people live? San Francisco still has a problem.
Use your brain.
@Art K ‘What’s it like being on the wrong side of history?’ – What’s it like being in the death throes of a failed administration?
@Art K ‘We found it the day after the 2016 election’ – it’s effects wore off pretty quick though didn’t it – by 2018 republicans were dropping like flies. This time round your about to get a good dose of hydroxychloriquine and disinfectant followed by a good rinse down the political drain.
Texas is tired of Looney Bin Cruz, Abbott and Cornyn.
@Jack J Biden is a choirboy compared with Trump. He even shows his tax returns. Trump begged for Xi’s help to win the election; that was not Biden. I would say that running $100’s of Billions in trade deficits and at the cost of millions of jobs is selling out America. That’s not Biden, either. That’s Trump.

david clark ….. don’t worry they are next in line starting with edwardo cruz who’s cuban descend when he’s around latinos and white when he’s around the GOP hardliners …. technically he can’t be a candidate for president because he was born in Canada but since he’s republican they allowed him to be a candidate anyway (see how hypocrite and corrupt the current trumplicans can be?) and then we’ll go full house cleaning to vote all the dinosaurs out of office.

A dose of reality in regard to who Trump really is!
Texans: please say NO to Cornhole.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🇱🇷
Need to turn the entire golden triangle into a blue area. Keep comin in from Cali …
@Fred Astaire 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
You got it. Just voted for Biden.
If you haven’t mailed your mail-in ballot, remember that some states such as Wisconsin won’t count votes received after November 3. Due to post office delays, voters should consider returning their mail-in ballots to an official ballot drop-off location. 44 states across the country are offering in-person early voting, which might be the safest and most reliable method of voting. Find ballot drop box locations, voting information, poll hours, and everything else you need to cast a ballot at Vote.org
. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, around 30 million Americans who requested mail-in ballots haven’t returned them. Please copy and share if possible.
I voted for you Ms. HEGAR….Please move GREG ABBOTT TO THE CURB..HE IS NOT GETTING ANY RESPECT FROM ANYONE
@Eileen Mcgovern Exactly. Something is terribly wrong with Democrat followers. They dont even know who is on the ballot
It’s spelled kerb,
Abbott really try to suppress the vote, in the middle of a pandemic, he gave us less choices. It’s 2020 they have used tactics for too long. Voter fraud is their excuse, we have woken us. Rafael should had been gone in 2018, maybe Beto give it another shot 💙🌊
https://youtu.be/_tFnqUIoEMk WATCH THIS ASAP.!!!!
Voted for her, I voted BLUE down the ballot TEXAS4BIDEN 🇺🇸 💙💙💙💙
She’s a Star Wars fan. My man!
And she ride a mean motorcycle.
I love Star Wars! Mark Hamill just announced today his support for Joe Biden 🙂
It is likely that the higher turnout is good for Democrats, but we can’t really know. The polls use models of “likely voters” that we know are not going to be valid this time. Take nothing for granted. Get about there and vote. Make sure you are a part of this historic election.
I have and I voted against the communist menace.
@Ima Doll Local and state elections are important for many reasons. Calling everyone dumb is likely to make them disagree with anything you say, and reject your valid points. Work on your communication skills, please. Trump has popularized rudeness, but that is no reason to copy him.
@that one guy Nor do the rural areas speak for all voters. Let’s have everyone’s vote carry equal weight, wouldn’t that be fair?
@Ricky Spanish so you’re that worried about Trump’s coziness with Putin, Kim Jong Un, etc.? It worries me as well though I’m more concerned with his fascistic tendencies. That must be what you voted against! A serious menace to our Constitution. ;D
Historically, higher turnout has ALWAYS been better for Democrats. I can’t think of any exceptions to that rule… except maybe the 1980 election (Reagan vs. Carter).
I’m in New York but cant help but say LETS GO TEXAS.
Alexis Andrade Trump gonna take care of you Latin person is not good to trump supporters Biden Harris 2020
Joseph Melendez Jr, all the way to the WH!
@QUID-PRO-QUO J0E,- Sorry pal, the grass is much greener on my side. You folks are entirely to bombastic, extreme, and ignorant for my liking. My dog can give better advise than you sadly. The desperation of Trump supporters stinks as bad as he does.
@QUID-PRO-QUO J0E,- Sorry I couldn’t open the links for some reason, i think it might have to do with my newly installed moron, bot filter.
@Burningdaylighter LOL
Don’t believe the polls. Don’t get complacent. VOTE regardless
Country over party 🇺🇲
@ronny raygunz NO they do not
@epic103 never proclaimed I did.
@Katherine Raven There is no reason to vote blue . They didn’t do anything for 8 yrs. People are over identity politics and left wing news slander and pushing a already failed socialist agenda.
@Katherine Raven Democrats already failed to protect their citizens in riots so you have nothing
@Dobs R Ri-i-ight. Just because The Heritage Foundation is a right-wing evangelical trickle-down think tank, they came up with a commie health plan as an April Fool joke, is that it? Republicans pretended the Individual Mandate was an outrage after insisting that without such a mandate insurance companies wouldn’t be able to profit from the ACA. Do your research. Romney didn’t have any complaints about Romneycare until Obama backed the ACA, at which point Romny HAD to criticize his own state’s successful plan because Republicans must march in unison or be shunned from their own party. Amusingly, they call this hive-mind conformity “freedom.”
I hope MJ wins! I voted for her
Watch!!!!!!!!!!

Me and most Texans didn’t. More BS propaganda from MSNBC.
Voted early yesterday for the first time since the first Presidential election I could vote in 1980. Voted for Biden/Harris & MJ. In fact voted all for Democrats for many reasons. We need a change! Took me maybe 10 minutes to vote. Very simple process & enjoyable 🙂
@RodTROLL! EFFEN TRAITOR!!!
You are a great American
@Clinton Bates not locking up kids in cages. Not putting Jared and Ivanka as advisors (with no clearance and zero public service experience), do not condone racism, have a national strategic plan to combat COVID 19 and not just say it is what it is, pay their fair share of taxes, I can go on and on but you get my drift
Who made the cages@Swin Andrew ?
https://youtu.be/exTdWWe6c5s
I voted today…rented a party bus and took 20 with me. Blue down the line ..FOR AMERICA…vote people take a friend take three..but vote. Our lives are on the line
Thank you!! I wish everyone would do that!
I’ll be out working the polls for the Dems, in my wheelchair, because we already are about to lose insurance if we have preexisting conditions, I’m gonna remind people.
I drove my motorcoach there with my family of 25 and canceled your votes out plus 5 more for Trump.
Jeremy teed, YES! YES! That’s what I’m talking about. Let’s go TEXAS!
Proud of you
The WHOLE Country over all is TIRED OF THIS OVERWEIGHT MC CHEESE LOOKING SANDWICH
Yes a dementia patient in a diaper is much better.
President McDonald Trump
@Ricky Spanish By a long shot!

Even Texas is turning about from the Trump Failure, going to be a big loss next week once everyone votes to Dump the Chump.
I have been saying the entire 4 years texas was going bluec
Nope
MJ I already voted for “You”. Even though there are some issues I don’t agree on in the Democratic Party. I’m putting my trust in you. Asking you to keep it professional & work for the people. Thank you….God bless MJ on her new job working for the people of Texas.
@tonak1 good for you, we all have a choice
I choose to not defund our police.
Cornyn and Trump 2020! 🇺🇸
@Rod https://youtu.be/ps1QmXrbx4A
Sharon Robledo, I agree, this election isn’t about a party, it’s about ALL of America. I have always voted Democrat and I did so this time, but I have also respected and honored Republican presidents because they respected our country but Trump, I have no respect for, you have to show respect to receive it and although I cast my vote for Biden/Harris, I cast my vote for ALL AMERICANS! Republicans, swallow your pride and do what is RIGHT!
@Barbara Peller agreed 💯👍💯👍
Not a Texan, but have donated to MJ Hegar’s campaign. We need change.
We in Texas thank you so much!
Absolutely, make your vote count. Don’t trust the polls either way, they can be manipulated.
Tarrant county in texas has had 48% of all registered voters already do early voting. We only had 57% total turnout in 2018.
This is nuts.
TEXANS NEED TO CHANGE THINGS….
It took a long time for Latinos in Texas to come to realization… Its never too late… Go out there and Vote Blue
Texas show everyone you’re not gonna take it anymore. You need to be represented better and these politicians in your state should care about your well-being and safety.
Don’t be a fool. This is more BS propaganda from fake news. Texas is RED!
Trump 2020! 🇺🇸
