Actually, what he said is that 70% of Haley's voters weren't registered as Republicans. How many were democrats wanting(?) Haley to get nominated?  I dunno.  How many were Republican leaning moderates who don't feel strongly enough to commit solely to republicanism?  Probably most.  That's the point that no one wants to understand... Trump can't win with MAGA voters or registered republicans alone.  He NEEDS those moderates and even some crossover libs/dems to win.... and he spurns them.  
 
In Texas, you can vote in any primary you wish... you just can't vote in both.  Why should anybody be excluded from voting in the primary of their choosing?  Oh, wait... I forgot that y'all are all from the camp that doesn't believe everybody should be allowed to vote.   As a fair-minded conservative by nature, this was one of the hardest facts to deal with.  A large part of the Republican base does, in fact, believe that some people shouldn't be allowed to vote.  

I early voted for Haley in the primary.  I think she bows out after 3/5/2024 unless she does unimaginably well.  
 
I'll probably just refrain from voting for President if Trump is the Republican nominee... and I'm 99% sure that he will be.  And whoever gets "lucky" and gets selected as Trump's VP pick will get eviscerated (aka Pence) by Trump eventually, just like everybody else who's ever worked for him.   It's like this- All of the liberals/democrats hate him and will never vote for him.  The majority of Independents/Moderates are also so turned off by his actions that they will either vote for someone else or just stay home.  Somewhere near 40% of Republicans/Conservatives are like me.... they just aren't going to vote for Trump.  As easily as I can say that Haley can't win the primary, I can just as easily say that Trump can't win in the general.  
The question is this... who is more ignorant?  The people who vote for the Democrat (presumably Biden) or the people who nominate someone who can't beat Biden?  
I'll put it like this... you have the most powerful person in the Texas House representing SETX... Dade Phelan.  I think there's a very good possibility that he loses to Covey, in large part due to the endorsement of Trump.  On here, I see people who are like "yeah, he's a RINO... he needs to go.  Did you see where Trump endorsed him?"  At the end of the day you're just shooting yourself in the foot because you're going from having the top dawg in the House (the Speaker himself) representing you... and you give that away because he's not MAGA enough for you.  It's a huge loss for the locals, but at least MAGA gets a win, right?  It's the reason that San Francisco kept sending Pelosi back to Washington.  Was she perfect?  Heck, no-far from it.  Was she the most powerful person in the House?  Yes.... case closed... you don't fire that person.  Or at least you shouldn't.  But the Left, while I disagree with them, are proving again that they are politically superior to the Right.

First, I don't think he was the best player on the field the week that Jasper came to Silsbee... Smith from Jasper should have worn a cape that night.
Secondly, the "on the field" part does mean something... Miller was MIA in the second half against Bellville.  He wasn't too injured to start, just too injured to stay in the game once it started getting out of hand.  I know that he's got a future to think about, and I understand his decision to chill on the sidelines while the rest of the Tigers were getting a demonstration on how the Slot T is supposed to work.  Being the most athletically gifted kid on the team and being the best player on the field aren't the same thing. 
But I wouldn't argue too much if Miller won.... he's still pretty deserving.

Catches...
They propose a "consumption tax" or VAT (value added tax).  Kinda like a sales tax that's tacked on at every step of the production process.

This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up 1.  those types of taxes always have a larger impact on people with lower incomes.  
2. If you didn't like inflation from the last couple of years, you'll HATE the addition of the consumption tax.. it's going to raise the price of everything that you purchase.
3.  It won't be collected locally... and you'd better hope that those hairy-legged women in the Peoples' Republic of Austin see fit to return some of that money back to your area.
4.  Those are all facts... my opinion is that they will get an okay from the public to allow a consumption tax, then forget to phase out the property tax.  
As always, we don't have a tax problem, we have a spending problem.  High taxes are a result of high spending, not the other way around. 
Now I shall return to the shadows.

You've been doing extremely good!!  

If you ask me, they need to rename this award in his honor. 

I'm the only poster in the entire history of SETXSports.com who ever had their posts removed for being too complimentary, lol.  

And here we go 🤣

I seriously thought your post on here would go a different way lol. (IYKYK from the past discussions on this award) 🤣

I think D. Miller and T. Smith are the odds-on favorites, but I'd honestly vote for Nguyen on offense if I had a vote.  

Seriously…. NFL MVP in 1982.

I just assumed everybody still hung out by the paper rack in front of the newspaper office on Saturday night and Wednesday night waiting on them to fill the machine.
