Fox News anchor Jesse Watters warned that if Republicans cannot return to power in Texas, the GOP may never win the presidency again.

Watters said during his show Thursday night that Democrats’ sweeping wins in the midterm elections could be a death knell for Republicans’ chances of winning future presidential elections.

Democrats won all statewide elections on the ballot Tuesday, leaving Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as the only remaining GOP statewide official in the Lone Star State.

“They seize Texas and are on pace for the biggest midterm landslide since Watergate,” Watters said. “Now, if Texas stays blue, a Republican will never sniff the White House ever again.”

    Don’t buy into that shit whatsoever. Presidental race is very different and Republicans still control a lot of electoral votes.

    The only way we insure it most likely doesn’t happen again is if you insist to your reps to join the electoral interstate compact

      join the electoral interstate compact

      Its a good solution in paper until a bad actor takes over a state and breaks their state out of that so the whole thing falls apart. This will need an amendment to a bunch of state constitutions.
