Comments, please. Media, mighty quiet tonight on election politics for some reason. No exit polls, no nothing.

[Right Wing Assault]

Links to any numerical results?

[CWW]

Damn straight. The current vote totals show the GOP outvoting dems in primaries by 15 to 20% at this point.

[goldstategop]

Right. All the talk about flipping TX Blue?

Ain’t gonna happen this year.

[fwdude]

This is a primary. How can “D’s“ or “R’s” lose?

[Trump20162020]

It’s going to be hilarious if after all the ‘Blue Wave’ mainstream media hype, the Democratic Party’s federal gains this November was just a handful of House seats (while losing seats in the Senate.)

[Aliska]

Glenn Beck and no doubt many others were concerned. "We can't lost Texas." OK, I'll leave it, an example of how I slip up. I caught it and spellchecker wouldn't have (was just on a grammar thread). "We can't losE Texas."

Thank you for some positive news.

Turnout was much heavier on the Republican side so far but only about 1/4 of the results are in.

I hope the Cruz haters on FR are taking note.

[Zhang Fei]

So far, Cruz alone has logged almost 1/3 more votes than the entire Democratic field for Senate. The GOP vote total, with ~30% counted is 50% higher than the Dem vote total.

This is the best election news for Republicans in quite a long time.

[LostInBayport]

Drudge has a link to results. My (somewhat French wine muddled) quick math tells me Republican turnout was three times that of democrats. So much for that blue wave Drudge had up earlier today. God bless Texas.

[slag]

Dems Statewide Turnout 3.95%
Precincts Reported 1,861 of 7,694

Reps Statewide Turnout 6.22%
Precincts Reported 1,624 of 7,677 Precincts

[BeauBo]

The baseline is that Texas is Republican. I would expect higher total numbers.

I wonder how Party turnout in the primary compares to the last mid-term season in 2014?

[sipow]

Looks like the 2018 dem takeover ain’t gonna happen!

[Albion Wilde]

Yeah! How’s that “blue wave in Texas” thing working out for ya, MSM?

[READINABLUESTATE]

The blue wave was/is just wishful thinking/propaganda/media B S.

The pathetic Austin TV stations are still trying to sell the Dem myth that this was a Blue Wave. It may have been in their toilet bowl as their chances were flushed tonight. Many of their races have run offs in May, while the GOP won outright and can save their money for the Nov. elections.
