My 1st ever GOP Convention! Over 7,000 delegates and guest ascended on Houston bringing $$$ millions to the economy.
Texas GOP is the largest convention in the states of both parties including the national conventions.

Y'all DESCENDED on the Tine...not ascended.

Looks like you had a good time.

So, do you do this full time now?

Serious question. I have no idea how any of this works.

Politics can be a full time job depending how in depth you go.
Get involved with your local GOP. What county do you live in?

Being a delegate is a slight process. Must be in good standing but that varies among counties exactly how that good standing is achieved.

I was an alternate this year because back in March I forgot to attend our senate district convention had the dates wrong but I was added as an alternate later on but as I got to Houston our senate district added me as a delegate so I got to vote on platforms etc.

That crowd looks a lot more diverse than the Dems.

Crushing it.

Based on the platform they voted on, we desperately need a real third party in the middle. Hope y'all like Beto because this is how you get Beto.

The fact it can be a full time job is the #1 reason this country is effed

And no gays! Really went out of their way this weekend re: the log cabin republicans and new written platforms.

I don't want to see a single Republican poster tell me GOP is totally great for gay people ever again on here.

All people, including the gays, are far worse off right now with the democrats in charge.

I was there as a delegate. Good convention; met a lot of folks and had some fun. Many people there were attending a convention for the first time, probably a third of those in our senate district.

Do you have to be a delegate to attend these? It would be interesting to attend some day.

You missed these

Yeah, things aren't great overall (I'm fine, don't you worry).

That being said, purpose of politics is still to get the most votes? As another posted said above, not a great showing for GOP (a point of view stated by many republicans themselves, including Donny Jr).

Based on your posts I can guarantee you and I will never vote for the same thing. So anything you I oppose I'm happily for.

As I said…

The attacks on marginalized groups don't surprise me. It's the GOP's swift degeneration into an openly anti-military/anti-veteran party that took me by surprise.

And this turn will prove a huge mistake on the GOP's part.

Alex Stein 99 yelled at Cruz and Crenshaw. I'm not a huge Crenshaw fan, but it was not a good look for Stein. He should stick to Dallas council meetings.

Good lawd, do you have anything to offer threads without proclaiming your gay? Most conservatives DGAF, just imagine how much you'll learn when you realize that.

No, you can attend as a guest.

They don't? Texas GOP platform says otherwise. Imagine how much you'll learn when you realize your party is blowing it again on so many issues which are losers if priorities most voters actually care about are economy, national security, etc.

My post is 100% on topic for a disaster of a convention. Being gay is a problem for Texas Republicans which makes my post relevant, if not then why make a platform about it and block log cabin republicans? This wasn't a platform about grooming of children, it's about gay people overall.

Marginalized groups.... LOL.

Lol. You want to be validated.

How freaking sad. How old are you? You have all the rights you need and want. Not everyone is going to agree with you.

Get over it. Get over yourself. Absolutely pathetic.

I for one don't agree with not including them. I welcome them everywhere, church, etc. I don't agree with their lifestyle choice, but I'm not their judge and I think we need to focus on what we agree on politically. I think the majority feel the same way, and given how awful Democrats' policies are for absolutely everything, you're a fool to vote for them just because they pat you on the head and act like they actually give a ***** They don't. All they care about is your vote.

Where have I ever said I'm looking for people to agree with me? I'd just like to not be in the crosshairs of a major political party. So naive, you think that platform is just a social commentary and nothing more to it? You'd be wrong.

I'm old enough.
