Even if that Cruz victory holds, Beto still brought a lot of house seats into play and probably pushed some over.

Beto will be the next junior Senator from Texas.

What’s the Cruz win projection based on? Are there any areas with votes still out that might flip it?

Did they report in from like Katy or Kingwood or some poo poo first? If the inner city districts are still out, things could still shift substantially. But I'm frequently wrong and hopeful.

I seriously hope O'Rourke doesn't dump Texas and try to go national, Texas needs people like him or similar to him in the governor's seat and Lt Gov seat. And pretty much in the Education Council.......etc etc.

If he doesn’t win in this statewide election, then he’s done in TX and national politics.

I can't decide how much to appreciate the narrowness of Beto's (likey) loss since it seems like it will be another 20 years til there's another statewide candidate as vile as Rafael Cruz

I said this earlier in the thread, but I am loving Abbott, Dan Patrick, Cruz etc. getting this extremely rude wake-up call. They are not good at handling it, no matter how much money they throw at social media handlers.

I have respect for John Cornyn. Whether it was he or a page manager I interacted with on Facebook, he directly engaged me when I had questions about legislation, providing full documentation from the legislature's .gov site, along with the bill text. It has been really hard for me to speak ill of him for that reason. He knows exactly how to not be a loving suck on the internet/to the public. I'm sure his voting record is terrible or something though. Ted Cruz on the other hand is an idiot greasy piece of poo poo who pays security firms that speak poor english and mostly in emojis to gently caress with commentors on his page.
