A Social Media Window Into the Texas GOP Convention

Lone Star State Republicans were in Dallas this past week at the State GOP Convention. Here are some highlights posted on social media by participants.

There were many, many, must-have photos in front of red, white, and blue elephants:

Here is a video of those elected to the State Republican Executive Committee during the Convention:

And there was a Gala:

There was a huge reception for Texas Senator Ted Cruz, here a video clip of some of the welcome and his speech:

Jacquie Baly, Policy Analyst for Fox 26 Houston’s show “Roundup,” and no secret fan of Texas Senator Ted Cruz, had this to say about the crowd at the State Convention when the senator and his wife, Heidi, took the stage:

Here is a post by Debbie Georgatos, radio host of Sunday’s 660AM The Answer “Ladies, Can We Talk,” about Heidi Cruz:

And there was the selection of National Delegates:

And more speeches from Texas political leaders, including Texas Attorney General Ken Paxon.

And photos with them, including Governor Greg Abbott:

Photos of some interesting, as we say in Texas, “outfits:”

Republicans enjoyed being with their fellow pachyderms even though there was a lot of hard work to do:

Republicans were grateful for the dedication and hard work of delegates, including their having to go to financial expense to be there:

I want to THANK 7000 delegates for a terrific GOP convention. Great job, everyone! #rpt16 pic.twitter.com/IvqmogQi8n
