....Counties that havent voted for a Democrat in decades turned out for Beto ORourke in his unsuccessful bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, and he picked up enough support in ruby red Republican counties to force Cruz into single-digit wins. ... Tuesday night's results suggest that the Republican firewall in the suburbs could be cracking....

These areas likely will bounce back. Bottom line is that middle class suburban women fell for the propaganda and did not like Trumps style the past two years. Style over substance. This is not necessarily a permanent change. Abbott is a better reflection of where Texas is. The senate race was nationalized like abortion Barbie was. Except Beto was a more appealing candidate.

I’m convinced this country is going to have to go through a period of pain, like The Depression, before people will wise up.

Republicans don’t do very well putting up great candidates that appeal to (unfortunately) the diversity states the left/socialists have created. They can’t win without ethnic groups so they target these, make victims of women, and flood our borders with more like them.....Which all ties in nicely with the Globalist/Socialist agenda.

Whatever.
All I know is that in my solidly Republican neighborhood I saw a lot of Beto signs.

I believe ultimately Trump will break that mold.
It will take time, but I think in the end, a lot of these women will come around on Trump.
I think the Rats have just been given the rope to hang themselves with.

Texas Electoral Map Shows Us What Were Up Against
If you look at Texas, if you look at this map of Texas, it is stunning. I ought to take a screenshot of it and put it up there on the Dittocam. I think I will during the break at the top of the hour. Texas is scary to look at this way. It is 85% red except for Dallas and Houston and Corpus Christi and the entire border with Mexico is blue or light blue or gray.
Texas has always been a big Republican state. Thirty-eight electoral votes. But you can see how the Democrats are encroaching there. They think they won with Beto losing last night, because he got so close and because of all the money he raised. Theyre now touting Beto as their presidential front-runner, bunch of Democrats, bunch of Hollywood leftists think, This is the guy because he almost won.
But if you look at Texas the way were describing here, every county I dont think theres a single exception every county of Texas,
starting with El Paso that comes down and borders Mexico, is Democrat.
Now, how many there in that area are here via illegal immigration and otherwise?
PRESIDENT Donald TRUMP "gets this!"

I thought Project Veritas last video on non citizens voting in Travis County (Austin) might explain a large part of the blue votes in Texas.

Cruz lost Tarrant County (Fort Worth).
ABBOT (Cruz lost it by 12) nearly lost Ford Bend (which went for Shillery first rat to carry in a POTUS race since Johnson), last time he won it by 13 points. The “DuPage” of Texas.

Still, it’s disheartening to see such an ugly trend.

Actually, many did. The Katrina refugees ‘assimilated’ much faster (learned quickly that hard work and manners are required, in Houston area) than the IL and CA transplants have. Katrina folks that wanted to work hard, stayed on. Most of the lazy ones returned to their former *lifestyles*, from what I have seen.

Stop creating Bernie-bots, is the solution. Home school or private school one’s children. Train them up in the way they should go. Strictly limit device usage. Or look in the mirror and realize that one was the author of one’s own demise.
