Is that a smaller than normal margin or good showing?

According to Ballotpedia, the 2018 election was about 55-45 for the GOP incumbent.

So they overshot normal totals in the process.

No it's actually Gaelic for sour-puss, crossdressing daddy's legacy rider.

Glad I won't have to see that lady's awful commercials again. She was somehow trying to capitalize on Hurricane Harvey volunteer efforts - from back in 2017 - without saying what the hell she ever did to help.

It’s shocking based Ted barely scraped by Beto, he’s the biggest cuck loser pandering prog shill lightweight in U.S. history.

Dude was a point from being Senator from one of the biggest states in the union.

I would imagine the majority of Democrats in Texas would be moderates. This Antifa Alphabet Soup wing of the left is not appealing to most moderates. I think that’s why you will continue to see the numbers gaining for Republicans in these close districts. The Democrats have simply gone mad and given control to loons.

Turnout was only 20% for this election. A shame but pretty typical for an off primary election.

It still speaks to the motivation of the two bases.

The Republican won by about 7 more points than in the last cycle, which means they are motivated, the Dems aren’t, or both.

The first critical election of 2020 is happening now in Fort Bend, TX. Victory for Eliz Markowitz means we can win the state house and build the team to defeat Trump in Texas. Join us to knock on doors this last weekend before Election Day. LINK
