(TNS) Texas GOP Rep. Dan Crenshaw joined Fox News’ Jeanne Pirro on Saturday to discuss the narrowing gap between President Trump and his two most likely Democratic opponents in November in what used to be a solid red state.
Pirro noted that, according to recent polling in the state, Trump is ahead of both Joe Biden and Sen. Bernie Sanders by 2.6 percent and 2.4 percent, respectively. She also noted that the gaps are far less pronounced than they were between Trump and Hillary Clinton in 2016.

Is Texas turning purple, Pirro wanted to know.
Crenshaw said  that we can’t ignore the data, adding that he speaks to a lot of young people; our kids tend to vote for Democrats because, let’s face it, their BS message of ‘everything is free’ is intoxicating.
“Kids are susceptible to the Democratic message. It’s about revolution, it’s about feeling good, it’s about giving you stuff. And it’s up to us to explain to our students and to our youth what that really means, what those false promises really are,” he said.




On Saturday, Commie Bernie tweeted out a message of ‘revolution’ to young people, saying “this is your election.”
“What I had to point out was, ‘you know the Democrats’ plan is to actually increase senior citizen benefits and to tax young people to pay for it,'” Crenshaw noted. “‘These are totally unsustainable policies and they’re making our social security system go broke.’ We have to point these kinds of facts out to them.â€
Pirro noted that employment for young people is up (as it is with virtually every other demographic), but still they are seduced by dead-end socialism.
“It’s mind-blowing,†Crenshaw said, adding:
Unemployment is down across all categories, there’s a plethora of jobs out there, there’s a huge amount of opportunity. Young people fundamentally want a gig economy where you can choose to sell your own labor and your own time.
What do Democrats do? They attack the gig economy. One of the recent bills that they’ve passed would all but destroy the ability to independently contract and sell your labor and time as you want to do.
I don’t think young people understand what these Democrat policies actually are because, again, they’re susceptible to this romantic language of revolution and socialism and everybody living together and looking out for one another. And of course, we should look out for one another, but we have to do so at the community level.




You can’t pretend that you’re more moral because you ask the government to do something that you yourself are not willing to do. That’s basically what socialism is.
Another tactic: Crenshaw says it is important to point out to Millennials that life (for them) is better today than it was four years ago:
Biden has to make a very difficult argument that we should go back in time to four years ago into the Obama presidency when we were on the slowest recovery that we’ve ever had after a recession. And here’s an important statistic that we need to point out. The CBO estimated that we would have five million less jobs than we do, back in September 2016.
So, what does that mean? It means that the baseline of job growth was way lower under the Obama presidency.

That’s all true. Telling struggling families and single Millennials they’ll struggle permanently under socialism is a winner.
Still, Democrats know if they can ever manage to flip Texas or even put it in play, they’ll ‘own’ the presidency for the foreseeable future.
GOT SOMETHING TO SAY? COMMENT BELOW
Crenshaw is susceptible to BS on Global Warming. I like him OK, but I lost some of my faith in him.
I lose all faith in them.
Glowbowel Warming is fraud for fools.
Rep. Matt Gaetz is another. Granted, no one is perfect, but Globull Warming ALARM!SM is a flaw that is difficult to overlook.
Like wtf literally, where is my literally free stuff ?
You go your whole life expecting it BUT IT NEVER COMES !
BWHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA
Once these lazy pussies start paying taxes for the benefit of people that hate them, they’re likely to vote right.
It takes a few years out of college working their asses off to pay bills. Then they grow up to resent the free loading scumbags I despise too!
These low info kids that don’t want to pay off the loans that they themselves agreed to want socialism. Do they know what the effective tax rate is in socialist countries?
Me thinks not.
Has anyone explained to them that the’ll be making 30 cents on the dollar if they get their wish?
Nobody discusses the impact of the text books. The history taught is pure bullshit. The text books omit important facts, and replace them with leftist drivel.
Without improvements in educational text books, the retardation of generations to come will be insurmountable. It will probably never change without civil war.
“In 1492 Columbus sailed the ocean blue…” That’s what they know about the year 1492.
Yet, the BIG STORY of 1492 was the “Reconquista of Europe”.
That was the year the European continent was finally free of Muslim rule. Every Church bell in Europe rang in celebration.
So, why DID Columbus sail the ocean blue in the first place?
To find another route to the treasures of Asia.
The Muslims, between the Barbary pirates in their corsairs and the marauding raiders that made the overland routes to Asia far to dangerous to be profitable or even remotely ‘safe’.
10-4 on the education crisis. That is the root of the problem. When it reaches critical mass civil war will be inevitable. On the other hand, if there’s a total transformation civil war will not happen. The masses will be content being fat, dumb and happy Marxists slaves. Any dissenters will be squashed.
.. like Glowbowel Warming.
IF TEXAS DOES GO BLUE… IT WILL BE BECAUSE THEY HAVE ALLOWED ALL THESE LEFTIST CALIFORNIANS TO MOVE INTO THEIR STATE AND CALIFORNICATE IT… JUST LIKE THEY DID IN COLORADO. TEXAS “MUST” MAKE SURE THESE NEWBIES FROM THE WEST “DO NOT” GET IMPORTANT POLITICAL POSITIONS IN THE FUTURE IF THEY WANT TO KEEP TEXAS RED.
