For almost 35 years, Tarrant County has been the most reliably red, urban county in Texas. Then, on Election Day, Democrat Beto O'Rourke beat Republican incumbent Ted Cruz in the county.

Really? Beto has it all? I think Cruz is great and the one we should be watching out for is sleazy Cronyn
Democrats are stealing these elections. Padding the voter registration rolls, then messing with the absentee/mail in ballots to match their registration totals. It’s easy-peezy.
We’ll never have honest elections until we go back to Election Day voting only, no absentee ballots, and paper ballots.
mega millions were spent here .
This race was unusual look at all the state races before
freaking out .
Go Home!
The democrat ‘strategery’ of flooding red districts with left leaning immigrants (legal and illegal) is bearing fruit - for them.
why would they hate Cruz?
He voted exactly they way he campaigned?
All his votes were in the interests of Texans
The media like to protray him as unlikeable
FL Reps won all FL state offices but
posters ignored that and ranted about this
amendment etc.....
or it was too close .
But ignored these races have been close since 2008 .
I got banned for the same thing. I supported Cruz over Trump for quite awhile.
They do both - generational change is too slow by itself.
The GOP needs to do this across the board. A good example was John Culberson vs Lizzie Fletcher in Houston. Fletcher was a young attractive (though plump) young woman with a winning personality. Culberson was a fat gray-haired incumbent in his early 60s who has been in office since 2001. It was easy to portray him as one of those old GOP fat cat career politicians who is out of touch with his constituents (and the ads were NON-STOP).
There comes a time when some of these older guys who have been in office for nearly two decades need to step aside and let someone more electable succeed them rather than losing the seat to a 'rat.
Butthurt FReepers still gotta show their Butthurt over Cruz, even though JimRob told them to knock it off.
They must be taking tantrum lessons from Jim Acosta.
Cruz will never run for POTUS again and he may not be a senator much longer either. He may very well end up as a SCOTUS nominee or a newly appointed AG.
Tarrant County voted over 54.2% for Gov. as opposed to 49.89% for Cruz.
State wide it was 55.85% for the Gov. and 50.94% for Cruz.
It was the candidate that failed to draw the voters but as you say with
the new arrivals Texas is heading toward the blue column. However it
hasn’t been all that many years when Texas was solid blue.
The last democrat governor was Ann Richards who’s term ended Jan. 17, 1995.
As she was a left wing loony liberal
“And heavy Socialist rhetoric from white Americans under 40”
They have the universities. We should have NEVER allowed Russian refugees into the country after the Bolshevik revolution. The communists have been working to flip us since the early 20th century.
We have our ‘work’ cut out for us, I think.
We need something like a “Texas Education Program” for incoming settlers, something that cautions those settlers to “leave their California voting ways behind them.”
My District had more people turn out to vote on Tuesday than they did in the 2016, and my polling place is ALWAYS #1 or #2 in turnout as a percentage of the eligible voters EVERY ELECTION.
TX turnout as a percentage of eligible voters is generally one of the LOWEST in the country.
You may have waited in lines, but your state as a WHOLE does not set any records on turnout...

Lots of cucks in Texas these days. I used to know a few. I have since made changes in my life.
