At the end of early voting for the Texas primaries in March, more than 40,000 more Democrats had cast ballots in the state's most populous 15 counties than Republicans. When all the votes were finally tallied on election night, Republicans ended up outvoting Democrats by about 500,000 votes, despite a lack of competitive statewide races.

So lots of Democrats crossed over and voted Republican - that could be the story this year no one is talking about ... yet

That would be huge. Guess we won’t know until 11-7 but it would cause a poltical earthquake if accurate.

There are two types of Democrats in Texas:

The SJW transplants.

And the pre-2008 Dems that are far more conservative, but keep the label out of tradition.

The democrats want to believe that they have a chance in Texas, Pinto Beans is way to the left of most people in Texas. I have already voted straight republican and so has my wife and just about everyone I know. Hispanics in Texas are somewhat family orientated and Catholic, they don’t go with the pro abortion crowd, now that doesn’t mean that the majority of Hispanics will not vote dimwit but about 35 to 40 % will vote republican. Pinto does not have a chance though he might make the election closer but not that close. Just my view for what it is worth

This really bodes well for a Cruz crushing of Betamale, and should seal the reelection of Sessions and Culberson.
