Republicans Turn Out Two Million Voters in Texas, Democrats Turn Out One Million Voters

Fully 1/3 of Texas Republicans came to the polls to state they are unhappy with Abbott (the incumbent). Abbot got in the mid 60's (66.4%) percentile of votes. The Dems candidate got over 90% of Dem voters.

So the take off of this is the Dems are more energized. Abbott is really only interested in POTUS. Here is what I posted on the Texas C-D page:

" All Governor Grabbit . . . errrr . . . Abbott did was follow DeSantis lead on everything because he was polling so poorly as a potential POTUS president among members of his party. DeSantis was 2nd (to Trump) in the same poll while Abbott was < 0.1% . The man is not a leader with his own ideas. "

Thus Abbott swerves Right to grab the Conservatives. But make no mistake that he presided over lockdowns for months, hurting Texas' businesses and Texans. He stood by while Texas and Dallas hairdresser reopened her business due to being out of money for food and was subsequently jailed in Dallas County. He is a creep politician and not a real man of substance nor vision!

Abbott inspires me, as a Texas loving conservative about as much as a dead skunk in the middle of the road stinking to high, high, heaven ! At best he is a RINO and if Texas was more Left he'd probably be a Dem. But he's tied his hopes on the Repubs so he goes about his act on our side of the isle. He's a Mitt Romney, John McCain type !

Abbott has a huge warchest of cash. He'll defeat the criminal Beto O'Rourke easily despite millions in outside the state monies coming into the Dem race, and is definitely better for Texas than Beto. I'll hold my nose and vote against Beto but not for Abbott. This is straight out of the Karl Rove playbook.

I’d walk across hot coals to goats against any democrat running. It doesn’t matter that Republicans are deciding which Republican to vote for in the primaries. That’s what they are for.

Dems internal polling shows they are in big trouble, and they know it.


When you have FAKE NEWS polls like ABC showing a Republican advantage of 13 points, you're talking record armageddon territory at that point.


Potentially 70 seats in the House alone.


And with Brandon's stagflation economy, I just don't see it getting better for them over the next several months.

Please quit pretending that the election will be anything even close to fair and honest. The Dems will never win a fair and honest election. That’s why they cheated in 2016 and in 2020 as well. As long as the Republicans continue to believe they can win with legitimate votes, the longer the Dems will continue to dominate elections and control our collective destinies. Cheat like a Democrat.

Wow, could you imagine if they were not legit? Could you imagine the mad scramble that would ensue if it was shown that the extra 500,000 "Republican" votes were actually cast by Illegal Aliens!



We would see the Democrats tearing down windmills and using the blades to build a wall on the Border.

Could explain the jump.

Yes.

I didn't vote in the primary, because I want to be able to vote in the Republican run off.

However you vote in the primary, you can't jump party to vote in the runoff that results from that primary.

So. Here we go.

Let's see if we, collectively, can send Ken Paxton to the curb. Unlikely, though, sadly.
