Were Texas Democrats defeated before they started? 2024 election data says it's likely.
Austin American-Statesman ^ | 11/17/24 | John C. Moritz

Texas Democrats were already 1 million voters behind Republicans before the first ballot was cast in the 2024 election cycle, and for all the high hopes of finally catching lightning in a bottle Nov. 5, after a three-decade drought in statewide elections, those dreams had probably been dashed eight months earlier.

That's the analysis of political consultant and data diver Derek Ryan, who plowed through demographics and past voting habits of 99.8% of the 11,340,202 Texans who cast a ballot for president.

"The November election was probably decided back in March," Ryan said in an email blast to people who sign up for his data and insight. "In March, 2.3 million people voted in the Republican Primary while only 1 million people voted in the Democratic Primary."

And as long as they keep serving up candidates like Wendy Davis, Beto O’Rourke and Colin Allred, we’ll keep on winning.

“Fdemocrats”

Freudian slips can make great portmanteau nicknames

Why would Hispanics, who are here legally, and have been here for generations, want people to cheat to get into this country?

For those with short memories:

https://www.newsweek.com/kamala-harris-could-break-32-year-record-texas-survey-suggests-1977255

“Oct 31, 2024 ... Donald Trump is forecast to win Texas next month by just four points, according to a major new survey.”

What actually happened:

Trump +14

They lie!

Hopefully its more than that.

Hopefully it will be “As long as they keep serving up candidates with a (D) next to their name, we’ll keep winning.”

My wife and I have ALWAYS VOTED ON ELECTION DAY. ALWAYS. This year we voted early because of everything we read on the net. Both of us have mentioned how this year, we got a different feeling than we ever got before. After we voted, we knew we were winners and so did most of those at the polling place. It felt really strange as though we were being told that we were going to get our wish. We still don’t know what caused that to happen. I guess being old timey people with children, grandchildren and great grandchildren.

Travis county is the hairy wart on the @$$ of Texas.

And it has bled into Williamson County, which Trump won by just 2.5%, compared to 9.5% in 2016. Cruz, who has an 8.5% lead with the remaining votes to be finalized, lost to Allred by 1.5% in Williamson County.

Linky does not work and will not unless you pay for it.

Try this one.

The first 18 posters obviously did not try to read the rest of the article.
