Texas: Lupe, Beto, and the blue wave

American Thinker: As we posted last week, Texas Democrats had their lowest runoff turnout since 1920.  It was shocking, and most Democrats are still trying to put a happy face on it, connecting that turnout figure with the blue wave.

Today, we got an early indication of the “Beto vs. Ted” contest:

In the banner statewide race in the state, the new survey showed Cruz had an 11-point lead over O’Rourke.  Fifty percent of Texans backed Cruz, while 39 percent supported O’Rourke in the coming U.S. Senate race in the fall.

Beto’s 39% is just a bit better than Lupe Valdez, the candidate for governor.  She is losing to Governor Abbott 53-34%!

Democrats tell me it’s early and that Beto and Lupe are still unknown.  I buy the “it’s early” part but not the “unknown” thesis.

First, Lupe Valdez is very well known.  She was Dallas County sheriff and a huge critic of Governor Abbott and the S.B. 4 law, the law shutting down sanctuary cities.  READ MORE

  1. I got a text a few weeks ago from the Beto campaign, asking if they could count on my support. I replied by asking, “Has hell frozen over? I will never vote for a democrat! Please do not ever contact me again”. Then she replied that she would take me off the list, but included a link to Beto’s campaign, in case I wanted more information. I said, “What part of ‘do not contact me again’ did you not understand? Since you did contact me again, I am donating to Ted Cruz’s campaign”! And I did!
