I’ve gotten two. I know these are automated robomatron texts but for cathartic fun I answered, “we’re voting for Trump” and “are you retarded? I said we’re voting for Trump!” Haven’t received a third text message.
You’re a lying dog-faced pony soldier

I suggested earlier that the sending of texts could be from an opponent. Look up Roger Stone. I know of no one who wants these texts. I can see someone in the Christie campaign pulling this shit. Remember the crap he pulled in Jersey with closing the bridge? So far I have not received any texts. Crossed fingers.

I've gotten a couple of texts. I imagine her campaign bought a mailing/phone number list from the GOP.
I just block the number and delete the texts.

Don't respond. It just lets them know they've reached an active number. Just delete and block.

You should check the voter rolls there to make sure you are not listed there.
After I moved from WilTson I sent a letter and copy of my TX DL to the county registrar and to the state level to prevent shenanigans. Once I was removed from the rolls I quit getting their calls and mailings

I have never received a text ever from any candidate or political party that I can recall. I suspect the reason many of you are getting them is because at some point you opted in to receive texts from some political entity and they have sold/shared their contact list. I do get a bunch of spam emails from my state Republican Party, but I'm pretty that's because I opted in years ago to receive emails from my Congressman.

I've gotten several and each time, I don't even read what it says. I immediately go to the Info for the phone number from which it came and Block the number. Then I delete the text and report it as SPAM.

Back in the day, I donated to the Romney presidential campaign. I had to provide my phone number when I did so. That's when the text messages started. It was only a few per year for several years.
As much as I admire Trump, the deluge started with his two runs for office. I got dozens "from" Trump, Trump Jr., and other Trump supporters. I still get them, and now I'm getting them from Haley.
