Beto’s not going to do squat in primaries. On a good day, he’ll carry some college towns.
He burned through more than $50M, some of which could have gone to help other candidates. He isn’t exactly the Dems’ favorite son. I think his political career is over. Very few losers can make a comeback in state-wide races.
Cruz nearly lost because he’s Cruz. Trump dragged is sorry as over the finish line and now owns him. I bet, though, we’ll see him cross Trump before the end of the year. Hope not, but I have zero respect or expectations regarding Cruz. Cornyn? He should be replaced. He trots out 2nd amendment legislation like election props, raises money on it, then forgets it once back in DC. Overall, put up good candidates, they win. Not just Texas, but across the US, we need better, Trump Republicans.
2-1 spending did not win Buzzoff the seat
Texas is Red, and will be Red for decades.
Socialism is coming to whatever Burg you live in too
I wouldn’t put too much into how close he Cruz win was. He was outspent by a bundle. Take a look at the margin Gov. Abbott ran up. That is more indicative of Texas still being a solid Red State.
That is how I see it. Abbot won by a lot. Bob showed what Hollywood money can do. I wouldn’t be very surprised if Cornyn quits in 2020.
Cornyn is a “Leader” in the do-nothing-but-Judges GOPee Senate.
No great loss in the long run.
Cronyn should have been kicked to the curb two election cycles ago. He is a one lung oxygen thief. See Corker, McCain and Flake for further examples.
No. Cornyn is not worth saving. Even if it means we get a O’Rourke to replace him for a term, we need to get that RINO out of the Senate.
No, Cornyn may wear an R jersey, but he is not on the side of the citizens and the rule of law.
He needs to be replaced.
What happened with Abbot in the Gov race?
Your head is in the sand.
Anchor babies are reaching voting age every day.
Apparently you’re still upset that Cruz won last night

Any explanation for Harris County losing county judge, tax assessor etc offices they’d held to the Democrats?
Texas is not purple. Cruz only won by single digits because he was hated by both Trump supporters and the left. No democrat won any statewide election.

Not red anymore if so many Texans are so easily influenced by money-funded lies, deception & charisma......
No truly red Texans would have voted for Beto.......open your eyes to your state as a whole, not just your friends and where you live.
Does not look good when so many Texans vote for Marxism........
Beto winning in college towns? He’s Obama vanilla. The money he gathered and spent on himself? There’s plenty more where that came from.
