Georgia is about to get the spoils of the train wreck that is the Wendy Davis campaign. Tuesday night, Democratic voters in Texas signaled they would be aborting Davis’s campaign in November.
In the Democratic Primary in Texas in 2014, Wendy Davis somehow managed to get fewer votes than any Democratic gubernatorial nominee since 1998. She got fewer votes than the Democrats’ nominee in 2002, 2006, and 2010.
Wendy Davis is the only Democratic nominee to lose any Rio Grande Valley counties in twenty years. She received fewer votes there than any Democrat in twenty years despite a 33.47% population growth in that area. Along the Texas-Mexico border, Davis was beaten pretty consistently by a primary opponent who spent no money. She lost counties Barack Obama had won.
For all the alleged growth of the Democratic Party in Texas and the inspiration that is the pink shoe clad kid killing proponent, Davis could not get the Democrats to turn out for her primary.
It was objectively a disaster. Top Democrats know it. Their plans to turn Texas blue by hiring a bunch of anti-ROTC yankee twenty-somethings is blowing up in their faces with allegations of intimidating Hispanic voters, ridiculing a man in a wheelchair, and more.

Don’t know. Don’t care.
Thanks. I think abortion Barbie even lost in Travis county. Will look for sure, but that is not a winning issue here
Nah, leave her here. We need a pinata bimbo barbie to mock in front of Texas libs and swing a stick at.
That is amazing that she might have lost in Travis...little NY...county! Good! :)
Maybe she’ll move somewhere else...like GA. LOL!
Thanks. I think abortion Barbie even lost in Travis county.

No, Wendy got 95.74% of the vote in Travis Cty.

Despite the 33.47% population growth of illegals.
I feared this was going to happen.
She’s so lame the national progressive bucks will go to potentially winnable races.
I’m guessing even Bill Clinton won’t date her....
LOL! Works for me!
Not really a shocker with Austin voters. She probably got less than 20% in our precinct which is in the far NW county. I wish we could secede and join Williamson or Burnet county.
From The Daily Texan
Voters also chose their nominees for one of Texas’ seats in the U.S. Senate. Incumbent John Cornyn, who was belatedly endorsed by first-term Sen. Ted Cruz on Wednesday, beat back a challenge from more conservative tea party candidates and will face in the general election either Dallas dentist David Alameel, who has donated money to both Democrats and Republicans in the past, or disavowed Democratic candidate Kesha Rogers, who has gone so far as to call for both the impeachment and execution of President Barack Obama. Neither Alameel nor Rogers secured more than 50 percent of the vote, so they will head to a runoff in May — a runoff that, like the one between Patrick and Dewhurst, leaves voters with two bad choices: Alameel, the one with the divided loyalties, or Rogers, the fringe activist whom the Democratic Party has openly disavowed. Can we have a do-over? Sure, Alameel is the lesser of two evils, but with much better qualified candidates on the ballot, we really wish neither of the top two vote-getters were in the running for such an important position.
We’re gonna need more popcorn!
