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

Good. Anyone who thinks abortion is such a wonderful act is not only Liberal, but creepy as well.
Abortion Barbie-now with real tears!
Oh, how the mighty have fallen! It was just last year that all the liberal elites were calling Davis the new face of the Democrat party and claimed she would turn Texas blue and lead national democrats to a sweep in 2014 on the “war on women” narrative, there was even talk of future presidential ambitions....
Ok Windy, you’re done. Now crawl back under the nasty rock you slithered from.
I’m not in Texas but I really wanted to see that scummy bitch lose!
Don’t go away mad, just..........go away.
SENDING HIM PACKING? Wisconsin Democrat Mary Burke failed to end the rule of Gov. Scott Walker, even though she got some help from Pres. Obama
Boo-skanky-hoo!
On to the other scummy one in Louisiana.
