I may be wrong, but I think it works both ways in Texas primaries. Republicans can try to sabotage Democrats in primaries if they choose to.
There were about 3 people in line when we got there. When we left about 10 minutes later there were 12-15. No one voted democrat while I was there.
Bttt
Looks like Abbott to win by 70% or so, Beto by 90%
Little George P is going down in flames.😅😅
No mo Bushes
“Little George P is going down in flames.”
Not so fast there. It’s very early in the counting process, but Paxton has an excellent chance of not reaching 50% and that means a runoff with the #2 finisher, which could easily be Peedro Boosh.
Oh
Guzman is in second place at the moment, so hopefully Bush will be thoroughly humiliated and not even make the run-off.
Fingers crossed.
Gohmert so far is doing especially poorly but that’s hardly unexpected based on the polls. He was a great Congressman and I don’t begrudge him not wanting to be in that cesspool of DC any longer (even with Republicans thinking they will surely retake the House in November), but did he really think he had a chance in this race?
The top 2 Republicans are pulling in 16% more votes than the top 2 rats. That lines up very closely with what I expect in November, Abbott beating Beto the arm flapping clown by 15 ponts.
Agree on Gohmert. I do like the fellow, but getting into this race was a poor decision since it was one he had little chance of winning. However, if he keeps Bush from even making the run-off, I’ll be happy.
I hate to say it, but Gohmert’s presence might actually be helping Bush: if Gohmert wasn’t in the race at all — meaning the vote is split only 3 ways instead of 4 — Paxton would be significantly more likely to get over the 50% threshold and there’d be no need for a runoff.
How is Abbott and Paxton doing?
George P. Bush will be in a runoff. That is not going down in flames.
Louie Gohmert coming in 4th is going down in flames.
Crap, I thought Paxton had it in the bag.
According to the NYT results page, five Republicans will be on the ballot in November with no democrat opponent.
