Those 40 retirements are the ONLY reason the house was lost...
Sadly the R’s had too much land to defend...
As to Texas... $20 per vote for BETO... that’s not a win folks.. but it does show money matters... but more importantly TX needs to stop always being in the BOTTOM when it comes to voter turnout percentages.

Demographics is the ONLY reason the House was lost and why it will be next to impossible after 2022 to get it and the Presidency back.
If we have the same Demographics Regan did the House would be ~290-140 and the Senate 70-30.
