If you want to call EVERY SINGLE TRUMP SUPPORTED CANDIDATE WINNING as ‘falling short’

Aside from who won, look at the raw vote totals of Republican voters vs. Democrat voters: https://www.keranews.org/2022-elections/2022-03-01/live-results-texas-2022-primaries

I can vouch. The wait for Republicans where I voted was 30-45 minutes. Democrats could walk right up and get their ballots.

Frances O’rouke is too close. I’m not sure if dems would go for Abbott in an open primary though, so that’ll probably be fairly close in November.

You would think that if the Democrats nominated a far-left candidates, the GOP would have a better chance of picking up the seat. It’s not like we’re rooting for Democrats to fix their problems and start appealing to the voters.

George P. Bush wasn’t humiliated, that’s a mixed result in my book.

Rich Baris says the GOP has a solid chance of sweeping the three congressional districts near the Mexican border. These are overwhelmingly Hispanic districts.

Did you even see the raw vote totals? Nearly 2 million Republicans came out to vote in the primary compared to only 1 millions Rats.

Limp wrist Beto is going to lose by at least 20% in the general.

Kind of politically incorrect to talk about Robert Reich in those terms...

My bet, George P. Bush got many Dem’s voting for him in the Primary to make Abbott look bad. Jeb’s boy is going nowhere, just like Jeb.

There were several spoilers paid to oppose the current Republican candidates, Anti-Trump Republicans.

They must be remembered.

Then there is some idiot named Ricky Perry, filing against Abbott as “Rick Perry” that actually drew a few votes. What insanity!
