>>>That’s a lot of cash in the trash. :-)

Not necessarily. It might have helped down ticket races like TX-7 and TX-32 to flip. Would that have been the case if the Senate were not as close.

Tell me someone, I have no TV, but I presume there was NOT any blue wave, not even a light blue wave. It was pretty much a tie, and for midterms the Democrats were supposed to come out ahead, so they lost... I say if anyone needs to be feeling good, and going to be happy are the Trump supporters. Am I right to assume this?

He is a twitching, vein bulging idiot. Maybe he and Alexandria oscasio-Cortez can reproduce and have bug eyed, twitchy moronic socialist kids.

Beto is a scum bag scumier than most.

I’m glad that real Texans outnumbered the posers this cycle.

Hopefully we can rid ourselves from these dredges of society (democrats) prior to the next election.

Despite Cruz's mediocre campaign, so happy to be living in a state (for about 2 weeks!) that elected a Republican to the Senate. I last experienced that in California in 1988 (Pete Wilson), 30 years ago.

So happy to be a Texan tonight!!!!

The Fox News main site showed O’Rourke ahead for quite a while earlier, when other sites showed otherwise. Very suspicious.

I was keeping tabs on Dallas' ABC affiliate WFAA's web site and Beto did have the lead for a while as the votes were coming in. But Cruz took the lead and it keeps growing.

Because Fox News is liberal. What is it about “fox is liberal “ that conservatives do not understand?

Yes, they lured you in with conservatism, but it's over now...give it up. Sean Hannity is not worth continuing with Fox News.

Tell Sean to move or be irrelevant!

He didn’t almost win. Let the rest of the precincts come in.

Cruz’s convention stunt hurt him far more in this midterm than he realizes. It was a horrible decision to not support Trump at that moment...we all thought he would...at least I did. Cruz really soured me toward him for a long time when he failed to do the ‘right thing’....Yes I am very happy Cruz won too....but he had to fight for it.....

It would have been a nightmare had Roukie won and he would not have faired so well without the money in his coffers, 70 million!

No blue wave, but Allred is winning against Sessions at the moment.

“Republican Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas outperformed pro-abortion Democratic challenger Rep. Beto O’Rourke and won a Senate victory”

Wow, if that’s how you describe “outperformed,” I just wonder what “close” would be to this reporter. That wasn’t the election I watched tonight! Cruz barely escaped with his a$$ in tact! I am still in a state of shock that Texas would essentially split right down the middle on Cruz. He’s got less than a 3% lead in a state that Trump carried by 10 points two years ago!

Awesome news. Now Beto can go free to try his luck campaigning for president or governor whatever else it is failed candidates do.

And Ted having to eat humble crow from Trump for the rest of his term is just a bonus. Probably makes for some awkward conversations in the Cruz household.

I kind of agree. I don’t know if those listed are “never Trump” or not. I do know they work for a liberal outfit. If they can not see the liberal leanings of those they work for, then, well, their conservative credentials are compromised.

Not support Hillary, even indirectly. I’d find other options short of DESTROYING this country over it.
