Boy, these articles a bit scant on details and not wanting to tell us by how much Beto the Dork lost by

[cableguymn]

you mean dumb and dumber

[hadaclueonce]

I am a grammarian. The correct spelling is NewsweAk.

>>>A rising star who has never held elected office?

He's been in Congress since 2012. Was elected to the El Paso City Council before that.

What a bunch of retards. So Cruz was an ass two years ago. Get over it. Trump has and Cruz is actually a very good senator.

[TADSLOS]

LMAO.

[bgill]

Maybe so but he can skateboard!

[Leep]

A loser for the people.

The horrible economy over odumbass’s term started TWO YEARS EARLIER when pelosi took over as speaker.

Very good point!

Not true. He got over 800,000 more votes than Sadler, so far. Currently Cruz has 200,000 less votes than he got in 2012, so maybe that’s the number they’re thinking of. These vote totals are likely to go up on both sides before the final vote is certified. Overall, it seems Beto’s gains over Sadler were from mobilizing new voters while Cruz just held his ground.

Stop calling him Beto...that is not his name

His name is Nacho......Nacho Senator.

[JediJones]

If Kamala Harris is the nominee, he’d be the best demographic choice for V.P. Could be an option for Fauxcahantas or Spartacus also. You can be sure the Dem ticket will never be two white men again in our lifetimes.

[IamConservative]

Maybe he’ll move to Louisiana and runs as a coonass named Beteaux.

[dfwgator]

Phony Beto-Mania has bitten the dust.

[Roman_War_Criminal]

The Irish dude pretending to be Hispanic will go for it I’m sure.

If only Hillary will run again!

[odawg]

That really makes a lot of sense; lose a statewide election and it propels him to the national stage.

[Svartalfiar]

Um, that analysis is incorrect. You have to subtract the old data from the new data to find out how much the additional votes actually cost.

$69MM - $700M = $68,535,323

3.4MM votes - 3.2MM votes = 218,332

So we now have $313.90 per vote, not just $20.29. Granted, I’m sure this is more of a logarithmic scale, but even that much per additional vote, to still lose, is ridiculous.
