Thanks, that’s quicker than the State boards—at least for the Dallas area.
It appears there will be no run off. It also appears Stockman wasn’t the
right candidate to do it. In fact, as some have mentioned here, he ran
his campaign like a stalking horse.
Last time I looked, neither Collin nor Dallas were posting any precinct numbers.
The big names like Beck, Levin and Palin stayed out of this although I did participate financially supporting Stockman.
If I lived in TX I would not vote for RINO Cornyn. I hope a third party conservative is in the race.....
Jeff Sessions should run for leader if McConnell is gone.
I think some people in Kentucky will vote for Grimes to get rid of Mitch.
The difference in Texas is it is more Republican and I dont like the optics of an open borders Hispanic Democrat winning in a red state. That almost happened with Jeff Flake vs Richard Carmona. The thing is Wil Cardon was the nominee the third party vote would have been even less.
thanks for that
Pierson’s problem was that she barely had any $$ to run a race. Sessions was sitting on a fortune. If I were her, I’d declare for 2016 and start fundraising now.
Me too. She would’ve done so much better than slippery RINO Pete Sessions. The left will try and use this to against Ted Cruz. He’ll give it right back to ‘em, tho ;)
He had to have outside help.
I guess Texans are proving that they are as stupid as the voters in the “liberal” parts of the country!!

Right. I’m also not aware of any major influential grassroots organizations like the Senate Conservatives Fund or FreedomWorks making any endorsements in this race either. We all need to face the fact that ousting Cornyn in tonight’s primary was a long shot. I think we have a better chance of defeating a RINO incumbent or two in some of the other upcoming senate races though.
Still not seeing any results for that race on the SOS website.
Why I wonder?
Cornyn has dropped a little at 33.9% reporting. Need Corny to drop 11.1% for the runoff to happen.
It is only 2 years away.
Also make sure there is a third party candidate.
Pete Sessions promised Joe Arpaio and his district no amnesty.
Does Pete want to serve in Congress for another decade?
It took 6 years to get an amnesty bill to Reagan.
The open seats as well. Thom Tillis has passed an amnesty in the last 12 months. Cornyn hasn’t.
Third party is the way Dems will keep the Senate. Sometimes, we cut off our nose to sprite our face. Okay, Coryn won, but would he be better, then a Democrat? Let’s face it, a third party won’t win and if they do most will be Dems (look at recent Independent Senators, they are with the Dems.)
I haven’t read anything but a third-party conservative Senate candidate in November.
Possibly, but they prefer name brands. Also Cornball got a higher primary vote tonight than Cruz did on July 31, 2012. I hate to see the forthcoming votes cast by Cornball; they won’t ge conservative.
| Winner J. Cornyn (i) | 60.8% | 552,535 |

I haven’t read anything ABOUT there being a third party Senate candidate in TX in November. There may be, but I don’t know who it is.
