Oh... the fresh botox treatment threw me.

Thanks!

“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 !”

The Republicans may be misinterpreting this surprising victory as signaling Hispanics moving toward the Republican party. The Repub candidate Flores was born MEXICO where Democrat Sanchez is of Mexican decent but was born and raised in Texas and is married to a white woman. Possibly Flores won because the voters saw her as most Mexican rather than what party she belonged to.

I think that is a possibly worrying but astute thought.

La Raza rearing it’s ugly head again?

The only polls that mean anything are those where we cast our ballots.

That little Lying Leftist Gun Grabbing Freak will not be the governor of Texas. Not now, Not Ever.

“if Steny thinks a D+5 district is gone, then they’re in for a bigger shellacking than even we think.”

Here are all the Democrat incumbents who will be losing in November if Steny Hoyer concedes all districts that are D+5 or less. This is a ridiculous pipe dream (though the GOP should get *some* of these), but here goes:

Arizona: Stanton
California: McNerney, Harder, Porter, Levin
Colorado: Perlmutter (open)
Connecticut: Courtney, Hayes
Florida: Deutsch
Georgia: Bishop
Illinois: Newman, Foster, Underwood, Bustos (open), new 13th district too
Indiana: Mrvan
Minnesota: Craig
Nevada: Titus, Lee, Horsford
New Hampshire: Kuster
New Mexico: Fernandez
New Jersey: Kim, Gottheimer
New York: Suozzi (open), Rice (open), Jones, Maloney
North Carolina: Butterfield (open), Manning
Oregon: DeFazio (open), Schrader (already lost primary), new CD-6
Pennsylvania: Houlihan, Lamb (open)
Texas: CD-15 (open), Cuellar
Virginia: Spanbarger, Wexton
Washington: Kilmer, Strickland

Most of the above will still win of course. However the list does NOT include a whole bunch of Democrats who are already in R+ districts, who therefore should lose if ballots are counted honestly.

Overconfidence and reading tea leaves in the political realm as a whole is a game for idiots.

This could be a backlash against incumbents, not political Parties. Do not take anything for granted; the electorate acts like the wind in a permeable side-winding canyon; who the heck knows where its coming from.

Btw, incumbents are not necessarily linked with names, just frustration behind the representation on a narrow local level.

Don't get baited, stay vigilant.
