U.S. Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) received more votes in the 2018 Republican Primary election than the entire turnout of voters in the Democratic Primary. The results shed a new perspective on the media-hyped blue wave stories from the weeks leading up to election day. In the Republican Primary of 2018, Senator Cruz received 1,317,450 votes in a race with four challengers. His Democrat opponent, U.S. Representative Beto ORourke only received 641,311 votes against two opponents.
Figures from the Secretary of States office show that just over one million voters turned out in the Democratic Primary in general across Texas. Cruz alone exceeded the entire Democratic voter turnout by nearly 300,000 votes.
Last week, Texas Secretary of State Spokesman Sam Tayler told Breitbart Texas that in normal gubernatorial primary elections, about 10 percent of registered voters turn out in the Republican primary and five percent in the Democratic primary. At that time, he predicted, based on early voting numbers, that Democrats would match the Republicans 10 percent turnout. Instead, Democrats fell short on election day. Republican voters slightly exceeded their normal voter turnout with about 11 percent of registered voters coming to their polls. Democrats also raised their turnout, but only to 6.8 percent arrived.

Would have been nice if Bret Baiers show reported this instead of Chaos at the White House!!!
**********************************************
Bret’s program has become so lame with its mostly liberal panel (Steve Hayes, Mara Liason, etc.) that it would be a fit for CNN. Charlie Hurd is the only panelist that speaks against their liberal views.
I thought it might improve after getting rid of George Will and Bill Kristol, but it’s still an anti-Trump program.
It’s terrible! I try to watch Charles Payne now. A much quieter, adult show. And it has Tammy Bruce who is great.
I'm sure had they done that, it would have been another "Victory for the Ages"
Thanks for this post, showing the + trend in our direction.
The “ blue state wave” was an obvious myth perpetrated by the media and on par with the run up to 2016.
Dang, Rush was right again!
If you're in Texas, I'd suggest campaigning like it's going to be a hard fight.
Seriously??? That’s pathetic. Coming from a pethetic Dummcrat.
I never thought so either. However, I keep telling Freepers NOT to hype Texas as pro-business because liberals MOVE AND DESTROY the states they go to. Look at CO and OR. Back in the 2000’s, they were red states.
The DNC isn't going to waste much money in Texas.
I hope you’re right, but hope is not a plan.
US Senator race had the largest total votes cast by each party
GOP 1,543,725 — 5 candidates — Cruz 85.34%
DEM 1,037,799 — 3 candidates — Beto 61.79%
You mean Robert Francis O’Rourke? Irish-American out of El Paso? DemocRATS trying to fool uninformed voters.
Voters are expecting progress on illegal immigration. I guess they think Cruz will help solve the problem.
Poll and leftist and left leaning pundits/politicians predicted that there was a 95% chance that Hillary would steal the election in 2016.
The fraud in very deep levels was expected to work.
See how that worked out?
No matter how much of a shoo in anyone thinks a candidate is, every election should be fought as if the race is close.
Even in Texas, fraud will be a major factor in any race.
The opposition loves it when Conservatives relax and think the outcome is a foregone conclusion.
“Asking for a friend.” Why? are you afraid they will take your union card away from you?? lol There are those on here who will never forgive any slight, real or imagined.
I checked. I’m logged in and good
Thanks for posting the reality versus the Fake News b$!
