Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 20, 2018 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 20, 2018 Really doesn't mean that much but interesting none the less. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2018/09/20/texas-republican-wins-state-senate-race-in-district-held-by-democrats-for-139-years.html The runoff election was held following the resignation of Democratic state Sen. Carlos Uresti, who was convicted of helping an oilfield service company he co-owned run a Ponzi scheme. The Republican’s victory cements the party’s control over the state’s upper chamber, controlling 21 of the state’s 31 Senate seats. “Pete’s strong law enforcement background will be invaluable to the Legislature as we work to combat human trafficking and provide greater protections for our peace officers,” Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said in a statement. “I look forward to working alongside him next session to build a brighter future for all Texans.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 21, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 21, 2018 From the left’s standpoint, this victory is even more frightening because the district is 73 percent African-American and Hispanic.

You can't truly be a minority and Republican at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted September 21, 2018 Author Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted September 21, 2018 (edited) When the left talks about races around the country being a crystal ball into possible election results its ok but when a conservative does it not so much.

What impact will the economy have? What impact will the SC nomination fight have? I still think the GOP will lose the house by a slight margin and maintain a slight margin in the Senate and maybe add a seat or two. Honestly a real wildcard will be the AA vote. Trump has gained some significant support here but will they come out and vote. But honestly any poll is tough to believe these days. https://www.cnn.com/2018/08/18/politics/poll-of-the-week-trump-black-voters/index.html Edited September 21, 2018 by Highmark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

old indy Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 Not surprised one bit. EVERY Texan i know is disgusted and embarrassed with the Dem party "leaders". Trumps F U attitude and doing what he promised is winning more over daily. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
