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. Texas last elected a Democrat to the U.S. Senate in 1988, when Lloyd Bentsen won reelection. A Talarico victory would end that 38-year drought.

Abbott and Paxton are out. Dang.
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.
We would have won in a landslide against the freak had we ran out senator. We ran a disgusting piece of shit human against a freak and no one wanted to hold their nose enough.
Cornyn would have won by a comfortable margin

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

I’m moving to Mississippi or Oklahoma. Texas has became fayg.
Apparently Kansas has turned blue too.
Whiskey Tango Foxtrot
Several outlets already calling it for Talafreako.
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.”
Well, no thanks to the Californian invasion, we did turn blue tonight.
Apparently Kansas “ran out of ballots” first thing this morning.
