  • Run for political office as a Democrat.
  • Get elected
  • Switch parties!

This happens a lot.

In this case, this is likely because this is his last term as mayor, and he doesn't believe that TX can have a non-GOP governor or senator.

On that point, I think he's wrong. I think that Texas is ready for a democratic governor or senator.

In a fair system, switching parties would trigger an automatic recall election. Voters should get to choose again.

@mekkaokereke Republicans NEVER change to Democrat while in office. They just don't run again then say they're no longer Republican (but still always vote Republican)
