Voters elected political newcomer Pete Flores to the Texas Senate on Tuesday, flipping a Democratic district red for the first time in 139 years and further bolstering Republicans’ supermajority in the chamber ahead of the November elections.

Hillary Clinton carried this district by 1.4% 2 years ago…
I apologize for the Washington Post link, I saw it on Failbook and didn’t find another site mentioning this detail:

Oh, I am so looking forward to November, when the media have to explain why the Blue Wave didn’t materialize.
I’ll do it for them. Loyal Americans support President Trump. And they show up to vote without being bribed with money or drugs.
Not to worry … Michelle Obama is working overtime on “voter registration” … which I can only assume includes coaching illegals on how to slip into the voter rolls … how to vote in multiple states, multiple times … how to illegally bribe people to vote (with Soros $$$). Trust me … the Demoncraps specialize in 11th hour games (see: Bret Kavanaugh).
And, and, and – Obamaphones no doubt. Which will ring hourly, no doubt on election day.
also, why was there an election in the first place? from the link:
” to replace former Sen. Carlos Uresti. The longtime lawmaker vacated his seat in June after being convicted of 11 felony charges.”
talk about handing the ammunition over to the opponent, crikey dem dems getting good at something at least. heh-heh-heh !!!
p.s., I think they made a shpelink mishtake, s/b ‘arrestie’. double heh-heh-heh !!!
Greetings, Canadian friends. I see Kate has seen fit to post about our recent Texas election. We’re all pretty happy about it.
You’ll notice that both candidates are Hispanic.
Democrats fairly salivate over their fantasies about turning Texas blue. One of the things that encourages them is the idea that we have so many Hispanic voters that could conceivably be persuaded to vote Democrat.
They’re out of touch. What they don’t realize is that Hispanic voters who have been in Texas for a few generations feel almost identical about the issues as your average white Texans.
It’s a perpetual disappointment for them. For the main part, Texans are in agreement.
The narrative is still there because the poll numbers are still there, and those poll numbers point to the Dems probably taking the House, and the continuing ‘purpling’ of Texas. And Scott Walker losing. The Dems are on route to gain a permanent majority.
