For all the talk of renewed Democratic energy heading into the 2018 midterms, Texas Republicans have set a new benchmark for turnout in a midterm election.

More than 1.5 million people voted Tuesday in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate, won by incumbent Ted Cruz. That beats the previous record of 1.48 million in 2010, during former President Barack Obama’s first term.

Just saw Beto O’Rourke spouting gun control on CNN.

LOL...Cruz just needs to take that clip and make one very cheap ad....Just run it over and over. It will be the biggest and easiest landslide victory in Texas history for a senate race. Abortion Barbie will not hold a candle to Beto.

Some Bolshie delusions are coming to the front:

1. jOkeass is not as beloved as Bolshies thought. He will still get 96% of the black vote as opposed to the 95% any other Bolshie will get.

2. Schumer is wrong, turning the country Communist is not the direction the country wants to go, no matter how much the Bolshies want Stalin back. Putin is no Stalin.

Bottom line: Bolshekrats are not going to win anything notable, they might as well go to their safe places and sulk.
