Led by Hispanics, Texas GOP Primary Turnout Trounced Dems
3 Mar 2022
CLAY: Buck, I wanted to hit you with some numbers. I was reading the Wall Street Journal this morning. These numbers come out of Karl Rove’s column, that part of the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. We mentioned that we are in Houston, we are in the great state of Texas. Tuesday was the primary, first primary in the nation for 2022, and Republican enthusiasm on full display.
I’m reading from Karl Rove’s column here. The number of Republican votes has skyrocketed in 2022 compared to 2018, the last time we had a midterm. Republicans turned out 23% higher over the numbers they had in 2018 while the Texas Democrats — with still a few votes out there basically — were down, it appears, a little bit. But here’s what’s really wild, Buck.
Down in south Texas, where I know we got people listening to us right now, “the GOP turnout was up 162% in Cameron County over 2018 and 113% in Hidalgo,” that’s down along the Rio Grande Valley right there across from Mexico. “Republican turnout was also up 50% in Nueces,” and if I mispronounce some of these, this is on me, “County,” which is Corpus Christi, “up 51% in El Paso.” Hispanics in Texas, also certain in Florida, breaking in massive numbers and continuing to go when it comes to their allegiance to the Republican Party.
BUCK: It turns out that people who live near a wide open and largely lawless border do not like that situation, and it’s not racism or xenophobia. It is about the rule of law and what is best for their communities along the border. That’s the first thing that comes to mind. I’m sure there are many other things, whether it’s the Biden economy or inflation. But you’re pointing out specifically South Texas along the border. It’s not surprising that people are coming out in big numbers for Republicans because they want the lawlessness along our border to stop.
CLAY: And we have got an unprecedented revolution underway that is not being talked about very much in the national media as it pertains to Hispanic support for Republicans. Based on those numbers, we are trending towards an incredible 2022 when it comes to Hispanic people who are saying the Democratic Party has lost us with their woke politics.
