I agree 100%. I know a lot of 20-30 somethings that votes solely on guns and most lean blue just out of age and Harris county.    I posted this pages ago a week or so ago, but a 100% solid “this is what I propose and where I draw the line” on gun control would have swayed ALOT of Texans.   And any semblance of a tougher stance on immigration would have brought even more.  But if it’s not who he is, can’t blame him for being himself. 

Agree.  I know plenty that absolutely liked and respected him more than Cruz but couldn't get over policy.  I voted for Beto purely on principle because I absolutely despise Cruz but you just aren't going to win a Senate race in Texas without pivoting to the middle.  But do that and I think there are plenty of moderates sick of the far right conservative bullshit ready to jump ship.

Beto ran a great race.  Speaking platitudes instead of his actual policies.  

Good job. Good effort. 

As opposed to Cruz’s fake policies of protecting Medicare and protections for pre-existing conditions.

Sounds like he ran out of time, Liucci.  

Hey look, it's the resident Cruz cock sheath.  He's come aboard to tell Texas they won and should be proud of a guy that literally was gutted by Trump in front of all to see.  I guess Texas gets more Abbott as well.  Good times.

Oh yeah, ole Beto was all positives.

 

LMAO

Give credit where credit is due. The president turned the fear-mongering up to 11. And campaigned hard for GOP politicians, especially the senate. To protect his own ass. This was a victory for complicity, and a loss for checks and balances.

Um, the House is going to flip.

That's a huge win.

I'm not calling it for what it's worth. Neither is CNN.

Regardless, Beto built a democratic party in Texas. Dems will win some congressional seats tonight because of him. 

Does he perform better or worse with pac money?

So dumb.

Take the loss.

I don't think it's dumb at all.  I think it's very true considering the last few years. 

 

What loss?  I was only off by 1 gubernatorial and 1 senate seat.  So no, no loss here.

So Beto should have lied about his beliefs just to win?

No surprise that kind of advice comes from Republican voters.

No.  he should have changed them.

Rove actually was calling him "Robert Francis O'Rourke"

 

To be fair, Rove hates nicknames.

Remember after the debate when Cruz tweeted a clip for no other purpose than the fact that it showed African Americans cheering for Beto?  Just naked race war shit that no one ever called him out on.

No it doesn't. It speaks to the rural Republicans, many who are white trash but in their minds at least they aren't Black or Hispanic.

I stand by my prediction that Texas will turn blue by 2024.

A Republican incumbent with mountains of PAC money is beating a grassroots campaigner by all of 2 or 3 points.

Texas is changing, y'all.

Beto losing was the expected outcome, unfortunately. What's being overlooked is how he helped energize Texas Dems and helped pick up a few seats in fucking TEXAS. And he took away resources from other GOP candidates but making it a race against lyin Ted.

It is. But I wanted to send a message to GOP leadership for not being real leaders. Cornyn is an ass.

It will just be nice to see Schiff be able to tell Nunes to f-off in the House Intelligence committee.

Going to be great when Trump has to resign because of Mueller and Ted goes back to full time Senator from running for President in Iowa. I'm still a Texan but glad I live in Northern Virginia right now.

Nobody said he was honest but neither is the President.  Cruz should have filed rape/assault charges after Trump took his manhood on national tv.

the deal is Beto's personality. It's not plug and play Democrat, the next one might be a boring old guy who won't get the hot babes lined up for months to vote or work on phone call centers.  It was Beto or bust sadly. His straight Dem ticket helped a lot of other Dems today but IMO the turnout next midterm 2022 will not be this massive.

wonder if Beto will go straight after the 2020 Dem presidential nom or if he’ll go after that blockhead Cornyn’s seat. Maybe smarter to pursue the latter.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

This is what I was thinking based on what is in in Harris County.  I would not be shocked to see Harris blow away voting totals. Texas is seeing unprecedented voting totals for a mid-term.
