Paxton, Dan Patrick and Bo French were all terrible candidates with a ton of baggage.

I bet the independent numbers will break hard left

I bet a lot if the GOP voted left

You need a lot to happen for this kind of result but voter anger will do that

Uhhh, this is the result of millions of Californians and illegals moving to your state over the past 20 years.

2024 56.6%
2022 41.8%
2020 60.8%
2018 45.6%
2016 51.4%
2014 28.3%
2012 49.6%
2010 32.7%
2008 54.1%
2006 30.9%
2004 53.7%
2002 34.5%

55% is sky high for a midterm but bad if the turnout is driven by urban voters

I cant wait to see the numbers and the demographics broken down

moderate hispanics going dem this cycle will probably be the swing owlie was looking for in his predictions

What baggage did Mayes Middleton have? Whether they had baggage or not, they all got trounced.

42% registered Dems and they are winning by 55-59%?

Governor, LT GOv, AG, Controller, state reps all of them.
Independents make up the deciding percentage in elections, as I've said for several months now. Independents who normally break seventy percent for Republicans more than seventy percent for Democrats.

Now that's all that happened

This board was in denial about just how bad a candidate Paxton is and he killed everyone down ballot.


IS paxton so powerful he drug down the entire gop nationwide?

No, that is just coping and wishful thinking. Immigration has destroyed Texas. And it can never be restored.

Y'all never learn. It's not about dems and reps. It's about the indies, aka 40% of the electorate, aka the people who decide every election.
