Something one could NEVER have dreamed of HAS happened in Ruby RED Texas….
Voters HAVE finally elected a Democratic US Senator and a Democratic Governor There….
Will Wonders Ever cease ?
Donald Trump’s Economy , and YES, Immigration Actions , have cost Republicans dearly ….
And for the Senate seat?
A TERRIBLE Republican candidate that FINALLY had things catch up to him…..
In a night shaping up as a Democratic rout, the biggest victories came in Texas, a state where the party had not won a statewide election since 1998. James Talarico, a state legislator who became a national fund-raising sensation, toppled Ken Paxton, the scandal-ridden Republican state attorney general whom Mr. Trump elevated to the nomination in the spring.
The results came in a midterm election that is the first national mandate on Mr. Trump’s second term. They showed what polls have indicated for months — that voters are supremely dissatisfied with Mr. Trump and Republicans who have backed his agenda…..
Texas Senate Dem Win…
Democrat James Talarico is projected to win a Senate seat in Texas, defeating Republican Ken Paxton and delivering his party its first big Lone Star state win in decades, according to a projection by Decision Desk HQ (DDHQ).
It’s a huge moment for Democrats, both because it finally notches the party a big victory in a state key to presidential elections and because it edges them closer to winning a Senate majority….

It is also a huge blow to Republicans in general, and specifically to President Trump, who endorsed controversial Paxton over incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) in a contentious GOP primary runoff.
Many Republicans saw Cornyn as the much safer pick and will believe that in endorsing Paxton, who easily defeated Cornyn in a primary after the endorsement, the president helped deliver a historic victory to Democrats….
Texas Democratic Governor Win…
Gina Hinojosa, a Democratic lawmaker from the Rio Grande Valley, will become the first Hispanic governor in Texas, a state where Latinos make the largest population.The mood at her election night party at Assembly Hall in Austin, Texas became electric almost as soon as the results started coming in…..
…
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) has conceded the governor’s race in Texas, clearing the path for Democrat Gina Hinojosa in the ruby red Lone Star State.
Decision Desk HQ had yet to call the race as of 11:15 p.m. EST, but Hinojosa was leading by roughly 8 points with 80 percent of the vote in.
“There are still votes to be counted, but mathematically, we’re not going to be able to win this election,” Abbott told supporters. “I let Gina know that I would assist her and her team in a period of transition.”
Hinojosa is set to flip the Texas governor’s mansion for the first time in more than 30 years, depriving Abbott, who was backed by President Trump, a fourth term.
The stunning gubernatorial flip comes as Democrat James Talarico was projected to win the Texas Senate race against state Attorney General Ken Paxton (R)….
