The disconcerting part is that the Fake Mexican deserved to lose by a much wider margin.
Several slim wins by traditional red district congressmen who have enjoyed larger leads in the past.
A couple of congressional seat flips to Dems.
Texas is about to enter battleground state territory.
Can a FReeper post the AH HA sig?

I KNOW!! That’s the mystery for me, i.e., how so many races were so close that shouldn’t have been. Gillum, too. Something stinks.
Big cities and suburbs. It’s happening everywhere. CNN was showing it last night. Houston area has 16% of Texas population and growing. Throw in DFW, Austin, El Paso and San Antonio and that’s probably 50+% of the state and all blue. Get used to it demographics are not our friend.
Not hardly. State wide races weren’t even close but the socialist candidates weren’t the best. Texas has a few more decades before it becomes purple.
That may be true. However, the amount of money spent on some of these races was staggering. Beto's commercials were on TV ALL THE TIME. The same was true of Lizzie Fletcher, who unseated John Culberson. Also, Cruz is not the most attractive candidate. He comes off as studied and supercilious, and his stunt at the RNC did not help hi re-election campaign.
I donated to Cruz, but the grass-roots contributions of people like me are nothing compared to the Soros and Hollywood dollars that flowed into Beto's campaign.
It is true that flawed Republican candidates are no longer a shoo-in just because they have an “R” next to their name.
Candidates have to up their game, if they do, they should be fine.
