I thought she ran a good campaign and was she essentially tied in the polls? She lost by a lot.

Uhm, maybe because it's TX and 2014 was a red wave?

Didn't Davis lose by roughly that margin to Chip Roy this year?

2014 was too early for TX + Red Wave/2010 repeat = Safe R.

TX hasn't elected female politicians for Gov, or Senate or Prez, Valdez, and HEGAR blanched out as well, but TX elects them to Congressial districts. Ann Richards was the last female from TX to be elected to Senator, or Gov

Kay Bailey Hutchison would beg to differ.

The polls were consistent in showing a landslide victory for Abbott.

It was 2014, Texas, and she ran like it was New Jersey.
