Fox News anchor Jesse Watters warned that if Republicans cannot return to power in Texas, the GOP may never win the presidency again.

Watters said during his show Thursday night that Democrats’ sweeping wins in the midterm elections could be a death knell for Republicans’ chances of winning future presidential elections.

Democrats won all statewide elections on the ballot Tuesday, leaving Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) as the only remaining GOP statewide official in the Lone Star State.

“They seize Texas and are on pace for the biggest midterm landslide since Watergate,” Watters said. “Now, if Texas stays blue, a Republican will never sniff the White House ever again.”

    Do not believe conservatives when they claim they are ruined. They will do anything and say anything to claw their way back into power. Conservatives have a deep need to oppress others. As long as they continue to live, they will continue to harm everyone around them. Always.

    To truly prevent conservatives from oppressing the normal people, we will need to get our hands dirty. There is no peaceful solution to conservatism.

    Don’t get cocky.

    Do better than Biden, please. Every election you have new voters who were raised in your policies. Give them a reason to vote for you.

    The republican party deserves to end after sicking Trump on the world. I hope they lose miserably in 2028 and the party dies, then the Democrat party splits

    Threatening me with a good time will get you nowhere.

    “They want it extinguished. They’re already talking about abolishing the Electoral College, impeaching the president, and executing > Elon Musk. Democrat governors now control a majority of states where most of the population lives,” Watters added.

    No Democratic elected official has called for the execution of Musk.

    Goddamn Jesse, you’re being hysterical. This is why men don’t belong in politics. Too emotional. /s

    It will be hard to keep Texas blue. Remember that the GOP had almost the worst possible candidate up against one of the best possible Dem candidates. Don’t get complacent.

    This is an opportunity to eliminate the electoral college. Without Texas, Republicans may see the popular vote as the only path to victory.

    No one will want to sniff the white House ever again. They’re hiding his souled diapers in the basement.

    It’s crazy how quickly the Fox team was able to publicly identify where the Republicans went wrong this midterm cycle, and what the repercussions are likely to be, while left-leaning news outlets (and establishment Democrats) are still arguing over Israel and trans rights. I’m so very glad we elected more, bluer Democrats, but we’ve still got work to do to hold these people to their promises.

      Dems just learned they have to let the right unleash full on Nazism for a few years and their constituents will be happy with the crumbs of trickle down economics. Hopefully they are wrong.

      He does this all the time. He made some other comments about Republicans getting “spanked” this election, and similarly I think he’s the one who after Trump was elected talked extensively about how “daddy’s home” and the Democrats were going to get “spanked.”

      Some people are just gross.

      After two Trump terms, I imagine the stench is palpable within those walls. Possibly a slip of the tongue, but surely accurate.

    are on pace for the biggest midterm landslide since Watergate

    That is an interesting comparison… what exactly was that about again? Hmmm.
