This result does not fit the Democrat/media election narrative. It doesn’t fit that narrative at all. – In what the corrupt Democrat activists in the mainstream news media spent weeks calling a “closely watched special election” in Texas, the Republican candidate won in a landslide Tuesday night.
The race was for Texas House District 28, a suburban district on the outskirts of Houston. You know, the kind of suburban area where the corrupt media has been trying to convince us that GOP candidates were struggling with Millennial-aged housewives, who supposedly don’t like President Trump and would certainly be turning my home state of Texas into a “blue” state anytime now, maybe even this year.
That was the narrative, anyway. Of course, it was the exact same narrative Texans heard back in 2014, when the Democrats, led by gubernatorial candidate Wendy “Abortion Barbie” Davis, were going to sweep into power. But then Davis got shellacked by Texas Governor Gregg Abbott, in an election in which Republicans again swept every statewide office, and in which Davis won just 39% of the vote.
And it is the exact same narrative Texas were treated to in 2018, when Irish Bob “Beto” O’Rourke poured $80 million of California and New York dollars into a senate race against Ted Cruz. Despite out-spending Senator Cruz by a 3-to-1 margin, Irish Bob came up a crapper – just as he did in his presidential effort – losing to Cruz as GOP candidates once again swept every statewide office, as they have done in every Texas election cycle since 1994.
Interestingly, Irish Bob, in his new role as Democrat grassroots specialist, became very active in the HD 28 race, going door to door in the suburban neighborhoods, attempting to use his boyish charm to convince those angry suburban housewives to get out and vote for Democrat candidate [consults notes] Eliz Markowitz. O’Rourke’s efforts, combined with millions coming into the race from out-of-state Democrat interests, would surely turn the tide this time.
Oops. Bad plan.
As is his habit, Irish Bob came up a crapper once again. Seems his boyish charm has lost its allure to Texas suburban housewives who are sick to death of the nonsense his party is putting our country through, and pretty damn happy with the booming economy that 26 years of Republican leadership has brought to our state.
In the end, GOP candidate Gary Gates easily won the election, carrying the vote by a whopping 58-42% margin. Mind you, this is a district that President Trump won by just 10% in 2016, and which the outgoing Republican won by only 3% in 2018.
If this be a Democrat “bellwether,” then by all means, bring more bellwethers on.
God Bless Texas.
That is all.
Texas strong...stay that way.
So much for polls. :)
Read my lips...Democraps.....you count bet your cent that the great States of Texas & Florida will easily give their electoral votes...all of them to the re-election of POTUS, Donald J. Trump..period.
Why? The Trumpies are infuriated by the mocking of them by CNN & Don (Moron Clown) Lemon (The living protege of Barack “Magic Wand” failed ex-POTUS Barack Hussein Obama!!! It is as simple as that. The Democrap Party dies politically a little bit more with each passing day!!!
The movement within the Democrap Party to drag Hillary Rotten Clinton to save the day is simply the open practice of pure insanity!!!
Wether definition is - a male sheep castrated before sexual maturity; also : a castrated male goat.
Pretty soon, The Office of Dog Catcher will be a ‘bellweather’ election for the Dims.
When O'Dork was running against Cruz, he was kind of a man of mystery. He had that RFK vibe, and he "wanted to make a better world for our children". Just the sort of platform that brilliant soccer moms respond to. Since then, he has gone so far off the deep end with ideas like gun confiscation that he is now revealed to be the joke that most of us who are not soccer moms always knew him to be.
Yeah, but just wait until the Dems succeed in using national immigration policy to permanently alter Texas’ demographics to the point where Republicans are unelectable.
Don’t confuse the short term for the long game.
Democrats' decimation was a huge setback for (surprise) Beto O’Rourke.
A strategic blunder of enormous proportions (think Dukakis in the tank)
to have Beto's personal involvement on behalf of the losing Democrap ........
The race billed as a bellwether, was supposed to signal Democraps march to victory (on the truckload of impeachment BS).
Feels so good.
Well, whether or not, many more democrats are Castro-officiated, and need to be neutralized.
Let's not forget that Cruz almost lost this one. We can't let that happen again.
In 2016, many Texans were disappointed that Ted Cruz did not get the nomination and did not support Trump. in 2020, Texas will show its true Red State self.
Excellent results...
Bloomberg supported the loser Markowitz.
The biggest challenge for Texas is all the illegals who have come into the state since 2016. They will all vote democrat early and often.
Or for Swedes
I knew this was a race destined for the MSM memory hole when it didn’t go their way.
Here ya go, want a real poll, or a bell weather compass..
