Political Consultant Dallas Jones has been named as the Texas Political Director for the Biden/Harris Campaign. In a published statement via his Facebook page, Dallas Jones stated, I am deeply honored and humbled to have been selected to serve as the Texas Political Director for the Biden Campaign. I am truly grateful for this opportunity. It is a long road to November, but once again we are chasing history trying to TURN TEXAS BLUE for Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris." But is Dallas Jones capable of turning Texas blue? If you ask the Democratic establishment -- based on selecting him, the answer is perhaps yes. However, some rank and file Democrats are kind of scratching their heads right now. Early voting will begin on Tuesday, October 13, 2020, and end on Friday, October 30, 2020. If for some reason you can't vote early, Election Day voting will take place on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in Texas.
No Democrat Has Won a Statewide Race in Texas Since Way Back in 1994 when George W. Bush Snatched Control of Texas; Dallas Jones Named Texas Political Director for Biden/Harris Campaign
AUBREY R. TAYLOR REPORTS©
Will 2020 be a breakthrough year for Democrats in Texas? Nobody knows!!! I don’t mean to be a party pooper; but I don’t see any indication at this point that Democrats are ready to turn Texas blue in 2020. I've been studying politics for nearly 30-years in Texas, and I just don't see it happening at this point. Look, the hiring of Dallas Jones as the Texas Political Director for the Biden/Harris Presidential Campaign was cute and all – but come on. Sure, he generated a few hundred Facebook likes the other day with his announcement – YIPPEE!!! But turning Texas blue on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 is going to take a lot more than doing things like putting the same old retreaded Democratic operatives in place as tokens – especially since straight-ticket voting has been abolished. “I am deeply honored and humbled to have been selected to serve as the Texas Political Director for the Biden Campaign,” said Dallas Jones, the President of Elite Change, Inc, a public affairs and strategic communications firm with offices around the country. Blah!!! Blah!!! Blah!!! “I am truly grateful for this opportunity. It is a long road to November, but once again we are chasing history trying to TURN TEXAS BLUE for Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris,” said Dallas Jones via his Facebook page. He’s got that right, and history isn’t on his side either. I’ve got nothing whatsoever against Dallas Jones being chosen as the Texas Political Director for the Biden/Harris Presidential Campaign – other than the fact that he could be in over his head. Look, truth be told, I am just not sure at this point whether Dallas Jones is the guy who can help Democrats win Texas back. I mean, after all, save former Congressman Beto O’Rourke, coming close back in the 2018 midterm election, no Democrat has even come close to winning Texas since way back in 1994. For those of you who don’t remember, back in the Tuesday, November 8, 1994, Texas gubernatorial election, Governor Ann Richards (the Democrat) was defeated in her bid for re-election by George W. Bush (the Republican), and son of former President George H.W. Bush. Now, you have to remember, back when Ann Richards was Governor of Texas, the economy was doing pretty good – she was actually riding the tide of a pretty high approval rating in the run up to Election Day. However, Bush was creative with his campaigning strategy – which focused on outreach. Heck, creativity like that possessed by Bush, back in 1994 has almost become a lost art these days – but I digress. Look, actually campaigning on issues worked back then, and it will still work today. Please understand, that it was George Bush’s, name identification, campaigning on cultural issues and his laser focus on religious issues that helped him to wrestle Texas away from Governor Ann Richards back in 1994. And for those of you who aren’t old enough to remember, Bush actually won 188 of Texas’ 254 counties back in 1994. And I bet you didn’t know that 15% of African Americans actually voted for George Bush, according to exit polls. He also won 25% of the Latino vote in Texas back in 1994. But where Bush did his most serious damage was with white voters. Bush, in case you don’t know, was able to capture 69% of the white vote back in 1994. Now, don’t just skip over the numbers I just mentioned. Why? Because, the fact that George W. Bush, a Republican garnered 15% of the African American vote in his victory of Governor Ann Richards back in 1994 is significant! Why? Well, just think about it for a minute, if down-ballot Republicans running statewide in Texas on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, were able to capture 15% of the African American vote -- that would be all-she-wrote!
WHY AREN’T MORE REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES ASKING FOR THE AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY’S SUPPORT THESE DAYS?
Politics has become so divisive that it’s not popular for conservatives to reach beyond their base these days. Many fear doing so, may hurt their ability to hold on to the support they already have, and may appear as though they’re pandering. But I think they’re listening to bad advice from novice consultants who don’t know what the hell they’re doing. Look, winning a Republican primary is much different than winning a general election. And it would not hurt one bit for more conservatives to spend a little time getting to know and understand the thinking-patterns of people beyond their base. After all, if Texas is going to remain the strongest “RED STATE” in the nation, reaching out to African Americans, especially African American males could perhaps be the easiest way for Republicans to hold their grip and grow their party simultaneously. Especially, since African American males appear to be a voting-block without a home these days. Did you know that, throughout the Reconstruction era, African Americans comprised about 90% of the GOP (Grand Old Party) membership in Texas? Heck, back then we actually had 44 African Americans serving in the Texas legislature as Republicans. In case you don’t know, that’s more than African Americans than Democrats currently have serving in the Texas legislature today. Did you know this?
COULD OUTREACH TO AFRICAN AMERICANS HELP REPUBLICANS KEEP TEXAS RED IN THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION?
In case you don’t know, not all African Americans vote the same. And please ditch the notion that all African Americans vote for Black candidates. For the life of me, I cannot understand why people believe that all African American vote Democrat. But if that’s your belief – more power to you! But just so you know, -- that’s a lie!!! It wasn’t true back in 1883 when Norris Wright Cuney, an African-American from Galveston was head of the Texas Republican Party, and it’s still not true today. Did you know that from 1883 through 1897, according to historians “A BLACK MAN” held what was widely considered “THE MOST IMPORTANT” political position in the South in the nineteenth century? If not, I’ll bet you also didn’t know that it was through the hard work of African American men and women that the earliest foundations of the Republican Party of Texas were established and put in place. Look, contrary to popular belief, there are a lot of African American men and women who proudly embrace conservative principles today, just like we did back in the 1800's in my opinion. Speaking of the 1800's, did you know that the first-ever state Republican convention that was ever held for the Republican Party of Texas took place in Houston? Yep, the Republican convention that met in Houston back on Thursday, July 4, 1867 was made up of mostly African Americans. In fact, approximately 150 African Americans (only 20 Anglos) attended the aforementioned Republican convention.
CAN BIDEN AND HARRIS TURN TEXAS BLUE IN 2020 UNDER THE LEADERSHIP AND DIRECTION OF DALLAS JONES?
Dallas Jones is a pretty good consultant. I’m proud of the fact that he’s been able to maneuver his way into the enviable position of Texas Political Director for the Biden/Harris Campaign. However, I can actually think of a number of different consultants who I would have chosen over Dallas Jones for this particular assignment. I wonder if women like Audrey Gilbreath, President and CEO of Gilbreath Communications, Inc., and Jerri Brooks, Founder and Lead Strategist of One World Strategy Group, LLC were seriously considered. But, that’s neither here, nor there at this point. Can Dallas Jones get it done for the Biden/Harris Campaign on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, in Texas? The answer to this question could be hiding in the results of the Tuesday, November 8, 2018, race for the United States Senate, when Congressman Beto O’Rourke was trying to unseat Senator Ted Cruz. Remember how that turned out? Remember all the energy that was flowing through the air back then? Remember the warm-fuzzy feeling you got when you heard the name BETO? Remember the gleam Democrats had in their eyes back in 2018? Remember the hope that was being peddled by Democrats all across Texas? Remember all of the talk about BETO being the one who would break the Republican grip on Texas? Remember all of the money that was spent? Look, let’s be honest, as it stands right now, in Texas at least, there’s absolutely “NO ENERGY BUZZING” around the Biden/Harris ticket in Texas from what I can see. That being the case, it’s going to take a lot more people than hiring Dallas Jones to whip Democrats into the kind of frenzy it’s going to take for them to make a serious run at Texas. Look, you have to remember that the state of Texas is the strongest Republican state in the nation. You must also remember that voters in the Lone Star State, since 1994, have election and re-elected, Republican after Republican in every statewide election. What am I getting at? Well, in closing, I would simply like to remind you that, while Beto O’Rourke came close to winning Texas back in 2018 – he did not win! And if you ask me, there was a lot more energy swirling around Beto’s campaign bid in Texas back in 2018, around the time Labor Day rolled around, than what’s in the air right now – as it relates to the Biden/Harris ticket. So, just for the record, Senator Ted Cruz (the Republican) received 4,260,553 votes, for 50.89% of the vote in Texas back in the 2018 midterm election. His challenger Congressman Beto O’Rourke (the Democrat) received 4,045,632 votes for 48.33% of the vote in his losing bid. So, as I’ve already stated, I do not see anything that indicates that the Biden/Harris ticket are about to turn Texas blue on Tuesday, November 3, 2020 – but stay tuned!
