After Republican Mayra Flores won the special election for Texas' 34th Congressional District — flipping the D+5 district that covers a portion of the Rio Grande Valley — Democrats are apparently not doing well.
After winning her election on Tuesday night, Flores tweeted that her campaign "started the red wave" that's been building ahead of November's general election — and Democrats are apparently realizing just how big that red wave may be.
Fresh reporting in POLITICO on Wednesday showed how Democrats are in disarray in new ways and how the blame game has already started after just one special election loss in Texas. "Republicans blew up more than a century of almost uninterrupted Democratic control in that region Tuesday night, earning a special election win in a heavily Latino border district they had rarely even contested since its creation in 2012 — but where the GOP has made rapid gains in the last few years," POLITICO reported.
The campaign manager for Flores' opponent — Democrat Dan Sanchez — told The Texas Tribune that national Democrat campaign infrastructure amounted to "a complete and total abdication of duty." He added that "the DCCC, DNC, and other associated national committees have failed at their single purpose of existence: winning elections." Oof.

— Alec Sears (@alec_sears) June 16, 2022 So, even with just one special election on the board this week, the Democratic National Committee and Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee were apparently MIA when it came to helping Sanchez win and keeping Texas' 34th District in the blue column.
And while the special election was just to select a representative to serve out the remainder of the current Congress, Rep. Vicente Gonzalez — the Democrat who will face off against Flores in November — doesn't have much faith in the DCCC to help him win.
"I hope the DCCC learns their lesson with this before it happens across the country," said Democrat Vicente Gonzalez, before pointing to the bigger issue for Democrats. "They have just forgotten about the brown people on the border… I’m not going to try to sugarcoat it anymore," Gonzalez said. "They are taking Latinos in South Texas for granted."
Indeed they are. In 2020, Democrats lost seats in districts the national party and its leaders assumed were safe because they took Hispanic voters for granted. Republicans, on the other hand, have been investing in Hispanic areas with local community centers, long-lasting ground games to build coalitions, and showing those forgotten by Democrats that there is a party that cares about their communities' safety, economic wellbeing, and opportunity.
As POLITICO explains, "the resounding win by Flores — a health practitioner and wife of a border patrol agent — marks the first flip of the midterm cycle for Republicans, and it also hands them a unique messenger as the GOP looks to capture more border and majority-Latino districts in November."
I know. They are openly talking about things which should never be said by the manipulative left communists. Are they going to have a Merrick Garland crackdown on Republicans?
If the illegals start voting republican, watch them shut down the border and begin deportations yesterday.
Love it, thanks for posting.
Ha.
Now that she won, we can afford for the good people of Texas to fire Eyepatch McCain.
“The campaign manager for Flores’ opponent — Democrat Dan Sanchez — told The Texas Tribune that national Democrat campaign infrastructure amounted to “a complete and total abdication of duty.” He added that “the DCCC, DNC, and other associated national committees have failed at their single purpose of existence: winning elections.” Oof.”
No point of winning elections if you can steal them.
How long until upcoming elections pressure and the economy condition get them turning on one another and ratting out the shady architects of their disaster?
Karens and Darens coming out the woodwork.
One can only hope that the Leftist anti-American DEMs get put on the extinct pile in November.
The ‘red wave’ actually started when Trump got elected in 2016 (and perhaps even before that), and that red wave is what got democrats scared enough that they had to do something about it and went about stealing the 2020 election(s).
Democrats are now wanting to prevent anybody from investigating what actually happened in the presidential election in 2020, and they’re doing that by holding the sham 1/6 hearings to try to convince people that they actually did win the 2020 presidency. To democrats, the best defense is a good offense, and they’ve taken the offensive with those sham hearings. They fear an actual investigation of the 2020 election, so, they have to keep vilifying Trump and his supporters.
One hypothetical question for people out there, and which would send democrats into deranged reactions...
If people knew then (on Jan 2021) what they know now about the state of the country NOW... who would not want to overturn the result of the election? Even Mike Pence would have a hard time deciding, regardless of the official constitutional laws.
Yet the millions of uneducated, unskilled people they invited in will still overtax our welfare system, to aid the New Deal.
“I am concerned that the Dems are throwing this election because something big is staged to happen”.
I’m also concerned about that. There is more and more talk of them staging something very big which will prevent the election in Nov. from taking place.
They know they will be devastated. We can put nothing past them because they are not about to give up their power and control or accept a stalemate.
“I have never seen them this dysfunctional”
They already staged their coup. Now there is fighting amongst the liberal, state and radical wings of the party for control. I also think the J6 media fiasco sent a message that idiots need to just shut up instead of running their yaps and confirming they are idiots.
If the Latino vote shifts to a net loss, expect 50 caliber machine gun nests every 200 yards along the border with Nancy Pelosi at the lead trigger.
Exactly. It’s to keep $$ rolling into political personnel and orgs pockets. It’s always a “close race”
Yes, it's only used by Democratix
Just wait for the border crossers to be rounded up for mass deportation.

You are holding your breath, right?
Not entirely sure but I think I read that this win was to serve out a term and it’s for a district that changes shape for the November general election.
The new district shape is D+15. This was D+5. Her odds do not look good.
Don’t count any chickens just yet. We still have months for China Mitch and his cohorts to muck it all up.
