Texas 2018 Primary: Not a #BlueTsunami, but a #RedWall (Preliminary Report)

I had heard all these rumblings from the press that Democrats were launching an unprecedented blue wave to take over the state.

It doesn't look like that has happened, though.

Check out the current totals for the US Senate primary:

Ted Cruz got 85+% of the Republican primary vote already.

Beta is the winner, but his final tally was lesser than expected, and a good look at the finally county tally throughout the state shows that the two other Democratic competitors actually did pretty well in other sections of the state compared to Beta.

Will those voters line up with Beta in November? Ultimately, the liberal House Rep from the San Antonio area got 62% of the Democratic vote.

But what about the final numbers, the actual votes?

Ted Cruz pulled in 1,300,000 votes.

Beta (Male) O'Rourke

Beta took in 650,000.

O'Rourke is going to be flattened in Texas come November.

I have been telling political busybodies and worry-warts for the last two years.

Migration to Texas is not making the state bluer or even purple. The state is actually staying pretty red, or in some cases getting redder! I know ... I have contacts with outspoken conservatives who have fled California and are building up the conservative movement in Texas!

YeeHaw!
