Dropping like flies — Texas Congressman Will Hurd becomes 8th GOP House member to “retire.”

Hurd is one of the good guys.

Unfortunately for Trump and the Turd Reich, he has a conscience and will not seek re-election.

He’s the last African American Republican in the House and the third Texas GOP congressman to flee the sinking ship.

It’s going to be hard to run a successful campaign in 2020 with a 275-pound piece of stupid shit hanging around your neck, as we saw last November.

The Rs are being backed into a corner by Trump.

Yep, Republicans do their stint in congress and then move on. As the Framers intended. 41 retired in 2018. Someone will have to chisel the gavel out of Pelosi’s rigor mortis clenched hands.

There’s no recognizable Republican party left. The trump party has cowed those who still have loyalty to the US who now aide and abet the continued attack on democracy. Moscow Mitch will not be treated well by historians.

Hurd barely won re-election in 2018.

That district will be blue again (along with all of those big counties) in 2020.

From the responses, it appears as though some of you fellaz believe in Congressional term limits.

I do too.

Hurd won by less than 1,000 votes.

He and the rest of the Texas delegation have an enormously unpopular Albatross hanging around their necks for 2020, in a state so pissed off they nearly elected Beto O’Rourke to the Senate.

It isn’t about private sector money, it’s about the ratings stars, right, bb1961!

Five star response!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

And you are absolutely correct according to his own statements.

He didn't say its about private sector money, but I'm sure it's going to be good to him.

You should read your own linked articles sometime for the actual facts and not the bullshit you are trying to throw out.

We shall see about that House district.

Depends on who the Republicans nominate, and the DPST candidate will carry the weight of the DPST platform for socialism , free stuff, and economic stupidity, not to mention Support for radical Islamic terrorism, Racist anti-Semitism, and appeasing Iran and other radical Islamic theocracies.

That won't fly well in Texas.

Get your facts straight.

And save the insults for another forum.

And now the GOP have to deal with the consequences of their complicity with the Turd Reich.
