Greg Abbott Leads the Way as the Republicans Crush Wendy Davis and the Democrats in Texas

Battleground Texas rode into the Lone Star State promising to make the state more competitive for Democrats.

They have failed. Not only that, the Texas Democrats might have been better off if the president’s personal political support group had never shown up in Texas.

Their brightest star, governor nominee Wendy Davis, flamed out. Despite the backing of President Obama, the media, Hollywood and rich liberal trial lawyers (or perhaps because of all of that), Davis underperformed the Democrats’ showing in 2010. Bill White lost to Gov. Rick Perry 54-42 four years ago. Wendy Davis is set to lose 58-31. Or maybe 57-32.

Read that again. The Democrats lost ground compared to where they were four years ago, and where they were four years ago in Texas was not a good place at all. They couldn’t win a thing statewide. They couldn’t even make it close.

Two terrible Phlegmocrat candidates in Davis and Van De Puette. Absolutely punished by my fellow Texans. Race was never going to be competitive. Phlegmocrats could not have selected worse candidates.

Which makes me very, very happy.

Deport her to California. Or maybe she’ll go on her own.

As of this post time:

Senate: Republicans have locked up 46 seats, ahead in six more
Senate: Democrats have locked up 40 seats, ahead in one more

House: Republicans have locked up 162 seats, ahead in 45
House: Democrats have locked up 99 seats, plust 25

Governors: Republicans have locked up 18 seats, ahead in 7
Governors: Democrats have locked up 10 seats, ahead in 8


I would like to invite folks to use the Los Angeles Times Senate, House, and Nationwide State Gubantorial candidate breakdowns.  It's a fairly good indicator of where things are headed.

Note: Make sure ALL is selected.  Then you can click on Senate, House, or Governors

These categories show current wins and gains.
 (Ex: Republican = 44 +4 / Democrats = 38+2)  correction Note: + denotes leading in that many reaces in addition to already won

“Wendy Davis is set to lose 58-31.”

Great! Where are all the wimp hand-wringers who insist that Texas is turning commie red? Notice how these losers crawl under the rocks and refuse to show their surrender monkey faces.

All y’all beyond the borders of TX who breathlessly proclaim that TX is turning blue can continue holding your breath. :)

See ya, Wendy. This conservative gal wouldn’t vote for you if her life depended on it. May we never hear your name again.

Plural.
"Y'all" can be singular or plural, depending on the context.
"All y'all" is always plural.

she ran out on her family, There really isent much to respect about miss Davis, she betrayed the most important things in life to advance her own career just a little more. no man or woman who does that is trustworthy, as their clearly more interested in claiming a latter than doing an honest job.

“Go back to RI, you carpetbagger..”

Tonight RI voted a straight Democrat ticket. I was hoping they would elect Fung (R) Governor, former Mayor of Cranston, but it wasn’t to be. So sad, RI was a nice place when I was growing up.
