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.

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."
Democrats stand in horror as they realize they changed the system to flood the USA with non-western immigrants and now they realize they may not vote democratic anyway

However, they likely have brought in enough criminals and terrorists by now (or certainly in the coming months) to make any red wave (ripple) a moot point in the near future, say by early October.
“No point of winning elections if you can steal them.”
If they have to cheat in +5 districts, they cannot cheat enough to avoid an armed confrontation with citizens. They know that.
With the economy tanking it won’t be long before some of the illegals head back to Mexico and other countries.
Wake me when the scaffolding is being built for all of the convicted Demonicrat one-time rope testers.
If they overwhelmingly vote for Republicans, they will be gone (reevaluation of refugee status). That is the threat being held over their heads. Would they be let in if many of them were wearing Trump t-shirts?
We need to hammer the democrats on inflation, their energy sector policy stupidity, & woke ideology.
If wrap these three issues around the necks of every democrat politician running for office, we should have a successful November.
Many democrats will be “choked out” on election day.(Think MMA fight choked out)

Ha! You must have missed the article the other day where Americans are flocking to Mexico for the inexpensive living - the illegals will stay because they get everything free, unlike Americans.
Doing her up hair like Pelosi probably didn’t help either... it’s kind of creepy looking.
Don’t think they care. Free stuff is free stuff and not likely to change, even if there is some miraculous change in Federal policy, states will continue, under woke doctrines, to offer the goodies free.
But the media has been telling us for years what the people want.
Everything from open borders to global warming to infanticide to men in women’s showers.
Yea he she missed that..................
I understand that. But some will head south. Especially when the goodies dry up and there is daily social unrest..
Gosh I’m shocked
No worries! They’ll just cheat harder!
That's a limited poll inside of Beto's campaign headquarters
I really enjoyed reading that story. I may read it again.
Although it his highly unlikely she will win in November, the fact that she won at all is raising alarms on the left.
That shift has already begun here in Southern California. A trickle currently, but we’ll see what happens in the near future.
