A Beautiful Disaster - The GOP Hoax Of A Texas Miracle

To

Texas Voters

Oct 26

Martin, Republicans like to talk about a "Texas Miracle," in which conservative policies were a magic wand waved over the land that created a mystical utopia. It sounds like quite the tall tale - and that's because it is. We call it a "Beautiful Disaster."  Falling high school graduation rates, last in the country in health care coverage, at the bottom in voter turnout and at at the bottom in air quality. Texas might need a miracle just to turn things around. But invoking their best used car salesman skills, Texas Republicans for years have been ignoring these truths, painting over the ugly parts and selling broken policies as new. We're calling them out for their failed policies. Check out our long-form post summarizing myths and pointing out that, like so many Republican policies, it's clear the so-called miracle only extends to GOP insiders, not Texans like you and me.  Early vote continues until Friday, October 31. Election Day is Tuesday, November 4.
