Frida Ghitis : The Texas GOP is under siege, locked in a battle to the death with their mortal enemies.
She says the right wing of the Texas GOP hasn’t had too many losses lately.
Ghitis says the GOP is suffering from acute insecurity, a suspicion that its gains could be erased.
The GOP grassroots voted to close the Republican primary to anyone not registered as a Republican , Ghitis writes.
Julian Zelizer : Texas is besieged by enemies of establishment and establishment.
Zelizer says the antiestablishment faction in Texas is willing to set aside democratic norms and processes as they seek to consolidate power.
He says the platform is a statement of principles and the principle here is dangerous: “ One person, one vote” is fine only as long as our side is winning.
Political leaders encourage Manichaean thinking that if Texas goes, then America is doomed.
We’re so accustomed to apocalyptic rhetoric that it can be hard to take it seriously.
The actions of the ascendant far right tell us something: they may come to power through democratic means, but they don't trust that this system will keep them there.
