Where were all these energized “blue wave voters” during the primaries then? Ted Cruz alone got more votes than all the US Senate Democratic voters combined, by a massive 300,000.
TX Primaries:
2012 democratic primary... TOTAL votes < 250,00
2018 democratic primary TOTAL votes > 1 Million!
You can keep denying the existence of an energized Democratic electorate, but the evidence is staring you in the face.. you are just refusing to see it.
The evidence of a motivated Democratic Base is EVERYWHERE... just because most of the special elections have been in deep red places, where even huge D turnout isn’t enough to win, don’t think that’s the case nationally...
The evidence is EVERYWHERE that they are going to turn out big... And while it may not matter in the deep south... in the upper midwest, and in purple and pink districts around urban centers across the country.. its going to make a big difference. Won’t affect the senate, because those are statewide, but in the house, you better believe this is a real threat.
