In a bizarre political blunder, a document laying out the Republican Party of Texass election strategy for the 2020 elections has ended up in the hands of Texas Democrats. Attacking Democratic candidates through websites and mitigating the polarizing nature of President Donald Trump are part of the plan.
The document called a draft for initial discussion by the Texas GOP Party chair was titled Primary/General Election 2020 [Draft] and began showing up in Democratic emails Monday evening.
It includes a target list of 12 statehouse districts, including six in North Texas, that Republicans are aiming to take back in next years elections. Negative attacks through websites, and highlighting diverse Republicans to counter a narrative driven by Democrats about the GOPs lack of diversity are also part of the strategy.
Republican targets in North Texas are Dallas County Democratic Reps. Ana-Maria Ramos, Terry Meza, Rhetta Bowers, John Turner and Julie Johnson, as well as Denton County Rep. Michelle Beckley.

(38,001 posts)I like how TX GOPers realize they shot themselves in the foot when they eliminated straight-ticket voting.
I'm a little pissed the article didn't explain more about how/why the plans showed up in Democratic inboxes.
