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.

And Abbott, who has been governor for two terms, is losing by over a million votes.
Can we blame aliens? The space kind.
Amen to that.
I hope you can live with voting for a PEDOPHILE.
A PEDOPHILE!!
Yes. Horrible. He is a doofus, but he’s our doofus.
There has to have been some monkey business going on with ballots. None of this makes any sense.
We have two months for POTUS and the House to declare martial law - LOL!
Adultery was only one item in a long list of things that Ken Paxton did wrong.
Any halfway decent candidate would have beat Talarico.
What they will do is force states to make things appear more affordable by manipulating things like the housing market, health care insurance, energy prices. It will be a shell game. Their answer to the housing market will be rent control and increased mandated “affordable housing”. Their answer to health care costs will be mandated insurance with much higher penalties to those who opt out. Get ready for “Medicare and Medicaid for all.” Their answer to higher food prices will be removing income restrictions from SNAP. Their answer to energy prices will be pushing for “green” energy and banning any decentralized power options.
But where will the money come from? Look in the mirror. I think we will see a national VAT in the next few years.
What sane Republican would have voted for that Alfred E Newman lookalike? He was a certified lunatic, who put his head up his ass everytime he opened his mouth, saying some of the strangest garbage I’ve ever heard. Just a creepy little SOB. I refuse to believe any Republican would vote for him. I think the Bushes fixed the race.
Trump the toxic turd.
I’ve been warning about this for years. Texas is not the state everyone thinks it is.
If you are in a red state, shun and chase out liberals.
It’s done. Abbott lost. Texas is about to learn a hard lesson that they brought on themselves.
He also conceded.
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.”

Everyone said at the beginning of the year that we needed to conclude the Iran war quickly or we would lose the midterms.
The war was not concluded quickly. We lost the midterms
YEAH...Talerico winning....something is NOT right...
So-called green energy will make things more expensive, not less. But the idiot voters buy the BS because it makes them feel good to "save the planet."
Newsmax just projected Democrats take the senate.
Trump should have listened to his own inner voice about not starting another damned Mideast War. That disaster led to this disaster.
You are right. I smell subsidies.
I know it is not possible but interstate border control would save a lot of states.
