"Republican Pete Flores has upset Democrat Pete Gallego in a runoff, capturing a reliably blue state Senate seat vacated by a former lawmaker sentenced to 12 years in prison on federal fraud charges.
San Antonio Democratic Sen. Carlos Uresti resigned in June after being convicted of helping an oilfield service company he co-owned run a Ponzi scheme"
What's the backstory on this being "reliably blue?"
How blue had it been in past? Why so red on this?
Are democrats going red now if given a good Latino republican as an option to the democrat?
Will there be no blue wave?
Edit > 1st Republican to serve district since 1879!!! 1879!
1st Hispanic State Senator!
Give Republicans 21 Texas senators 1st time ever! Republicans can introduce legislation with no democrat interference as this gives them supermajority!
Makes Tejas Great Again!
No blue wave! That was fake news again!
Sic em
It's been solidly democrat for decades with a high Hispanic population of over 70%. This is a major defeat for Texas democrats.
^^^ That's simply, astounding!
I'm amazed and full of hope if it's a 70% Hispanic District
I asked a conservative Hispanic(Cuban) over here the other day if Hispanics will ever go republican and vote Trump
He said "no because Trump has made too many racist comments Hispanics think"
I was curious what racist comments Trump has made besides "build that wall?"
However, it seems to me a republican winning a 70% Hispanic State Senate district for 1st time since 1879 disputes Hispanics not going republican and Trump???
I'm hopeful today we may not turn into a Socialist country!
No blue wave? Blue wave was a catchy politician bs phrase but just another fake news term?
Where Cinque and crew to respond to all this? Where's their excuses? Bad democrat candidate? Democrat was outspent? Republicans went all in on this and democrats neglected there being a chance for republicans? Democrats couldn't cheat?
