    That’s kind of funny... most demanded cities, that’s why people are leaving at incredible rates to come to places like Texas....

    I guess you got to drink the Kool-aid if saying it makes you feel better...

    The last comment doesn’t deserve a response.... nice try though....

    Austin - Democrat.
    Dallas - Democrat.
    Houston - Democrat.


    Just wait until they find out.. maybe they'll keep moving to great conservative cities like... like... Birmingham?

    I've been saying we won't have a really good sense of where the polls are until after the conventions and Labor day.

    I believe there will be a convention bump but it doubt it will be very large. We didn't see much of a bump for Biden and I think it will be same with this one.

    Crime rates are largely the same in cities of similar sizes, no matter which way they lean politically.

    I have read numerous articles on the pandemic from different angles and political views.
    The most neutral one I found and agree with said that the Trump admin was slow to implement some measures. What he also said was that he doubts a Democratic gov in power would have made any difference.
    It's the nature of the American society.

    Yes, cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago and NYC are in high demand, that is why the cost of living is higher there, people will pay more to live in those areas.

    If you really want to play this game, we can....... who is the mayor of Austin? A Democrat........ the mayor of Dallas? A Democrat...... the mayor of Houston? A democrat.......

    Also, the argument from Trump is: "I cannot do anything to stop the riots and protests as President.......... but vote for me as President to stop the looting and riots"...... is is absurd like everything out of his mouth.

    His record is so bad the last 4 years that as an incumbent, he isn't even running on what he has accomplished.

    Trump stands ready to help, if the request comes.
    Otherwise his help is not welcome.
    At least the Mayor of Denver has had the common sense instigate a curfew and call in the NG.

    This is the same guy that has repeatedly had to tell Trump to stop saying racist things, and to stop trying to appoint racists to the courts.

    He also hates homosexuals.
