The Texas Primary vote count results were very encouraging to me.

Thomas Williams - Facebook 3/3/2026

The reality of the playoff election in Texas last night saw the grassroots voters move Texas politics more to the right than ever before. By turning districts, they were fighting to turn more conservative, occupied by Republican Rhino, helping Democrats do what they did to us through the decades by overcoming the two-party hypocrisy, null and void last night for real.

Rhino Republican incumbents suffered losses last night in the Texas primary, and I am feeling good about the rest. Fox News is tormenting and disgusting by not reporting to you all the news, and is not worthy of your viewership.

John Thune is a sore thorn in our MAGA side. We need a new majority, U.S. Senate leader. Study the Texas primary more closely, and you will find out what I am seeing.
