Alongside the mother who tried to kill her as a child, tearful Wendy Davis concedes defeat after trouncing in Texas
Greg Abbott was landslide winner in Texas Tuesday evening as liberal darling Wendy Davis fizzled out Davis has conceded defeat, telling supporters to never give up and reassuring them the campaign was not fought in vain A teary-eyed Davis told her supporters it's OK to be disappointed, but not discouraged, by her loss, and to never give up and keep fighting with her Meanwhile, Davis' seat in the Texas Senate was taken by Republican Konni Burton, a member of the Tea Party Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced a tough test against Democrat Mary Burke, who got a rare campaign stop out of President Obama, but ultimately emerged victorious
The marquee matchup in Texas pitted Greg Abbott, the paraplegic state Attorney General, against state Sen. Wendy Davis, a freshly minted feminist icon known for filibustering an anti-abortion bill in pink sneakers.
Wendy Davis has reassured her supporters their campaign was not fought in vain as she conceded defeat on stage alongside her mother who almost killed her when she was a child.
Davis, who broke down in tears as she gave her concession speech, had earlier called Republican Greg Abbot to congratulate him on his landslide victory.
She told supporters at the Davis campaign's Forth Worth election party they must continue fighting despite a landslide victory for her Republican opponent Greg Abbot.
Davis took to the stage flanked by her daughters and mother. Two months ago the Democrat publicly revealed her mother attempted to kill her and siblings when they were children by putting them in the trunk of her car.
The 51-year-old explained her mother was battling depression after her divorce and was struggling as a young single parent

“Two months ago the Democrat publicly revealed her mother attempted to kill her and siblings when they were children by putting them in the trunk of her car.
I wonder if, when she was in her mother’s car trunk, she noticed the missing ballots for Al Franken in there, too? /s
HA!
She is the new face of the Democrat party alright. At least for now. Winners cant become complacent and overconfident like Democrats did in 2013. Rejection can be a hard thing for the ego to handle.
Gay Clay lost in NC? Sweet!
Two months ago the Democrat publicly revealed her mother attempted to kill her and siblings when they were children by putting them in the trunk of her car.
Her mother was ahead of the curve. I heard the other day on the radio on some colleges campuses professors are claiming children are not “self aware” until the age of 4 or 5 so parents should be able to end their lives after birth. Add to this Rahm Emmanuel suggesting life should end at 75. Democrats support death for children and the elderly. It seems they only oppose death for adults convicted of heinous crimes.
Gay Clay will have to find a real job.
Brown looks like he’s wearing a Halloween mask of obama.
She’ll probably go work for Hildabeast or CNN or MSNBC.
That one issue pretty well defines who a person is.
“Thats why I stood in line in the rain 20 minutes to vote. Screw you Wendy.”
I was voting anyway, but after hearing her say that she had many more voters than Abbott, I took great pleasure in seeing her slammed dunked. Oh yes I voted against her just as much as I voted for Abbott.
WHY CAN’T I FIND THE ACTUAL NUMBERS FOR THE “LANDSLIDE”?
It was such a pleasure to mark the box for Greg Abbott yesterday! Glad to see her lose and no more calls from her campaign! Her ghost calling was annoying, especially the one from the big creep-Hillary!
“Jail Satan!”
Us elated Texans will celebrate enough for you. We’re all conservatives together in this.
The Davis aborting was just icing on the cake. We made conservative strides all over (other than the Cornyn disgrace.)
I wonder it she’s still wearing her catheter, because she got such a perverse thrill from it the first time?
“Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker faced a tough test against Democrat Mary Burke, who got a rare campaign stop out of President Obama, but ultimately emerged victorious.”
Took me a second to get the meaning here. Initially it looked like Walker managed to talk Obama into stumping for Burke...and maybe he did, as Obama was more help to Republicans than he was to Democrats, this year.
“WHY CANT I FIND THE ACTUAL NUMBERS FOR THE LANDSLIDE?”
19 points or more for all state offices, the biggest blowout ever in Texas, all lead by Wendy.
Is that a daughter she didn’t slay in her womb?
I’m betting ‘bammers is sad. He really intended to turn Texas with all the illegals.
