Texas blue wave crushed.

[Ripster42]

Irrelevant, as Trump won and he is now the president. ANd with that we are graced with anti-trump circle jerks daily on the politics section.

"It's irrelevant, which is why I brought it up."

I bet you thought Hillary had a 95% chance to win in a historic landslide election?

Tee hee.

Huh, good point.

[BuckSparkles]

What kind of values do you find immoral?

The fetish for abortion and protecting criminals for one. Oh abort all the babies you want whenever you want tee hee

OH NO WE MUST PROTECT THE MASS MURDERER D: HE ONLY MURDERED 20 PEOPLE PLZ DONT HURT HIM. LOCK HIM UP FOR LIFE>


Those two. Oh and the rabid anti-americanism.

You are supposed to protect innocence and punish the guilty. Liberals have it backwards as fuck. Among many other things.

[Sky High]

lawl, "we think women should have the right to choose to abort and have access to healthcare"

"omg you guys are such baby killer fetishists!"

it's a wonder why anyone tries to directly debate you.

[Shadowferal]

A zygote isn't a baby...
It's not anything.

[Crissi]

This is getting off topic. Stop it

[Zan15]

Ted Cuck received more votes than all the dem candidates combined last night.

Not even his republican challengers could come close. WHY Texans? Why are we voting for this guy? You dont have to vote Dem, you could have picked another republican. . . jeez fuckers. . . .

How do you crush something you have not yet competed against.....?




Texas: 1 million voted in the primary.

That's the highest Democratic turnout for a midterm in 16 years


Republicans got 1.5 million votes — a slight tick up from the last election cycle



So there was a massive blue wave, and next to nothing in the republican camp.




Sure sounds like there was actually a blue wave.

[tehdang]

Big primary turnout is not a blue wave. This is Texas. It would take a big Roy Moore scandal or several more years of left-leaning immigration into the state to flip it.

Yep, and people are hung up on the state wide senate vote.

I don't think anyone expects to flip Texas yet. While Cruz is a terrible human being... it's Texas and he isn't uniquely terrible like the child predator slavery loving Moore.

We are going to see some seats flip in this wave. The question is How many.

Its actually a lot sooner than people realize where Texas is looking Purple. Remember Texas (rightfully so) wants to still a be a world leader when it comes to energy but to do that they needed to diversify and embrace other sources of energy. Ironically this new renewable energy industry is ripe with liberals. The research triangle would make San Francisco blush for how Liberal the area is. Added in the legal Hispanic immigrants in the south and the Reaganites slowly dying off its making it seem Texas could start looking purple even as soon as 2024.

[Kujako]

Great... now I got Hunter Thompson stuck in my head.

We had all the momentum; we were riding the crest of a high and beautiful wave.… So now, less than five years later, you can go up on a steep hill in Texas and look West, and with the right kind of eyes you can almost see the high-water mark—that place where the wave finally broke and rolled back.

Four more years of current trends could be enough. That's about what I meant by several more years of immigration i.e. don't expect anybody's rosy talk about a "blue wave" to matter in this election or next.

[Felya]

Or maybe it was more than a 5% chance and that mainstream media is lying to you.

Kinda' like the Russia thing.

Well, no, you cannot make that call. Based on their data, there was a 5% chance for Trump to win, which he did.

This is completely different than Trump claiming that the elections are rigged against him, due to the establishment.

Now it’s irrelevant and you are telling others it’s circle jerk? Wtf?

Yes, this is why no one in WoW will ever get the Ashes of Alar mount.
It can never, ever happen.

I have 4 of the 1% drop mounts... but, not Ashes...

You act like we share the same ideas of immoral. I find most of the democratic parties values highly immoral. So...your argument is moot.

But, the vast majority of values you attribute to Democratic Party, are told to you by a guy who said he couldn’t win the election because of the establishment. The guy who chanted lock her up, but has done nothing about it. A guy who is actively trying to silence a porn star, because of the affair he had with her. This is the man who you trust...

All of these are slanderous accusations made by an incometent baboon like Trump, to vote for him. That’s why you have so much trouble saying what you support about him, other than watching these evil liberals cry. You voted for a man who owns business all over the world, as America First... you trust a man who ran as a blue collar billionaire... A NYC oligarch, who knows the plight of middle America.

Even when Trump claims to go after gun ownership, without due process and blames video games for mass shootings, you will still blame liberals.

[Xeones]

What kind of values do you find immoral?

Probably freedom and liberty.

[Zan15]

even the non mainstream media had Clinton winning. The wonderful Rasmussen even called it for Clinton.

[Felya]

Even Trump was saying the elections were rigged... its a bullshit argument. Before the election few of the supporters would deny Trump was one of the two worst candidates to run for office. But, for some reason, once he became the worst candidate to win an election, evidance of why he was considered one of the two worst candidates is a machinations of MSM.

Probably freedom and liberty.

No, you just disagree on what freedom and liberty is. Your version is probably the ability to voice your opinion about the president, while theirs might be to tell you to shut the fuck up... Trump is president... qq more vagina head... stop being childish and date me... mods pick on us for no reason!!!

It’s a mater of opinion...

[Crissi]

again, this is off topic. Drop it

[Garnier Fructis]

Irrelevant, as Trump won and he is now the president. ANd with that we are graced with anti-trump circle jerks daily on the politics section.

How is the chance irrelevant, when you were proposing that the chance was higher and the media was lying? How is the subject of your argument irrelevant?

That doesn't even make sense.

The chances for Dump winning the election was actually pretty high, or at least higher than 5% - according to 538. I recall it being over 30% actually for a week, which are not odds I would take a bet on - which is ironically what I said to my boss on election day when he said Hillary was a shoe-in when I was worried.

I'm aware, but I'm trying to get @BuckSparkles to actually support his argument instead of engaging in hit-and-run rhetoric.

[Shadowferal]

The upshot of it all is that we'll have to wait until November to see what happens.

Ted Cruz calls out challenger Beto O’Rourke in a sign of a tough fight to come in Texas

I concede that Cruz is still the favorite...but if he wins then it will likely be close. And those voters that typically vote Republican, if they are that unhappy with Cruz, but won't vote Democrat, they may just end up staying home.

[Xeones]

I'm aware, but I'm trying to get @BuckSparkles to actually support his argument instead of engaging in hit-and-run rhetoric.

Not going to happen.

Why would he care about trying to argue when he's just going to get hit with a deluge of reality that he isn't going to believe or care about when he can just drop little snippets to annoy people?

infracted - ignored mod warning

[ipaq]

It's just the primary not many vote in them, I didn't. Main voting is in November, which more will attend.

I still think Cruz will win since its Texas, but I intend to vote against him.

You guys deserve Cruz.
