Texas hates Cruz a hell of a lot more than they hate Trump

Even the Texas GOP machine hates Ted Cruz because he keeps ruining poo poo for them to grandstand. Also I think you maybe underestimate the difference between "let's vote out this fucker" and a presidential election where people generally feel their votes mean nothing

I think you're agreeing with me. Chances are that Trump will do better in 2020 in Texas than Cruz did this year.

Ryan Costello, a centrist wonk, ran for Congress to solve problems—but his colleagues fell in line with Trump’s parade of resentment.

Incidentally that single district covers 1/4 of Texas because it had to contain both the El Pass democratic suburbs and the San Antonio ones for maximum gerrymandering.

Also if you get bored look up the areas around Houston as they are utterly hosed. Iirc there's a single street which is used to combine two completely separate areas into a district lol

I actually think that, in some ways, more than hatred of Cruz the perception he's so hated was helpful in driving up turnout. People who never bothered to vote before did in part because it seemed like maybe it'd actually work this time. In that case Trump in 2020 might help-- the Texas Dems can say look, we were SO CLOSE, please vote we can do it this time!!! and not seem like lying assholes.

There do genuinely seem to have been like 600k staunch republicans who broke just to vote against Cruz though so we can't underestimate that either

Yes, how odd that voters would support progressive policies but not the "progressive" candidates who oppose those policies.

McKaskill supported medical weed and the minimum wage and came out saying so. In mealymouthed cautious language of course but saying she opposed them is wrong.

If she had any campaign brains she would have run blazing on "Hawley doesn't want you to have weed or a minimum wage and I do" but she clearly did not and lost for it.

It's funny because there's very easy spins he could put on this that wouldn't even be lies. He could say that he wasn't up this time and the GOP failed him (probably true in some places), that the Senate is more red than it's been in decades (literally true) and that they're going to destroy Roe V Wade (100% certainty)

But he's floundering which I can only assume means he legitimately believed the Democratic polls were all lies
