HOUSTON — Could Texas really turn blue? This year’s U.S. Senate race is testing whether Democrats can win a seat the state has kept in Republican hands for nearly four decades. Democrat James Talarico is facing Republican Ken Paxton in a contest that has renewed attention on Democrats’ chances of winning statewide.

Real American’s Voice just had big segment on Texas turning blue today. Loosing face after race, that includes the governors race and senate. This is a damn nightmare.

Trump basically alienated as many people as he could his 2nd term, along with trash talking and energizing the opposition along the way. He basically pulled the same thing that Bush 1 and Bush 2 did except with a big ego.

Talafreako’s numbers in some of the reddest counties of Texas defy belief. This is an absolutely unprecedented night.

Nope. The GOP congress lost this because they would nit fight on President Trump’s side. Massie, especially. Also, every DAMN thing that Trump did for the country, the courts and judges halted. No, do NOT lay this at Trump’s feet.

I have no idea why people complain about Iran, which certainly needed to be dealt with quickly, while ignoring the billions in Ukraine that is a useless “war.”
