WTH did Warren need all that money for? Was this the “start buying you off now in case you become President” fund?
Good news!
Overall I think the Democrats had the better showing. The GOP mostly won back some weakly held seats that the Dems got hold of on Obama’s coattails. The GOP needs to be thankful the entire map of 100 Senate seats wasn’t up for grabs.
The Rick Scott pick-up was impressive, but he was a very strong candidate, a 2-term governor who probably could’ve won a 3rd term there. Overall it looks like the GOP candidate recruitment was weak. And those rust belt states that Trump flipped switched back to standard blue states again.
Don’t blame me for the FACT that Cruz SICKENED many (if not most) of his supporters and let a PATHETIC drunk nearly beat him.
You may not like it, but go look at the results yourself (he’s up by 2.6%), versus the Republican governor, who’s running away with it.

its in their blood to vote socialist. scary to think that this country is heading the way if EU soon with the mass of uncheck illegal AND legal immigration that come now, unlike the “good old days” for nothing but a free ride. US is a huge welfare state to them.
I suspect that they will leave the signs up as a sign of protest/displeasure.
Welcome to the state, enjoy the barbecue!
I looked at the Texas races tonight and while we still had “straight party voting” as an option this year, it didn’t seem to go “down ballot”.
The governor came out strongest
(Abbott-Valdez 55.9-42.5)
Abbott got 4,614,079 votes
Lt. Governor (Patrick-Collier , 51.3-46.4)
Patrick 4,225,359 votes
AttGen (Paxton-Nelson, 50.6-47.0)
Paxton 4,156,847 votes
US-Senator (Cruz-O’Rourke, 50.9-48.3).
Cruz 4,221,738 votes
Even land commissioner P-Bush got more votes than any of the other Republicans who weren’t the Governor
George P. Bush 4,397,621 votes, 53.7%
And that was with some Republicans withholding a vote, choosing the Libertarian, or writing in a name.

Then again, things didn’t go “so well” for Democrats either, O’Rourke’s presence didn’t raise up all Democrats. He got nearly 4,000,000 votes (3,999,742) and no other Democrat in the state approached that threshold (candidates Valdez (Gov) 3.5M, Collier (LT) 3.8M, Nelson (AG) 3.86M...
Not really but keep cutting your own throat because you are still butt hurt
blah blah blah.
None of the GOP candidates carried the votes that Abbott got.
To flip that coin, none of the DNC candidates carried the votes that O’Dork got.

It should not be close but IMHO, all the bashing of Cruz during the Presidential election of 16 did not help. There are still people on this sight that they are happy he beat Beno but have to get one more bash in. Check up a few post from yours and you will see what I mean
Gov.Abbot didn’t have 100 million spent against him!!!
Thanks,Elsie——very interesting.
