TX-06: Dems in Disarray!

[Pericles]

How did that anti-Trump Republican do?

[Oryxslayer]

How did that anti-Trump Republican do?

Horrible.

[Roll Roons]

How did that anti-Trump Republican do?

Horrible.

He did better than Big Dan at least!

Anyway, I wonder how the results will affect redistricting in the DFW area.

Michael Wood is at 3.1%.

[100% pro-life no matter what]

Ngl, I kind of assumed the suburbs would show a reversion after the Trump presidency. You saw it very slowly already in the GA runoffs before Trump was even out of office and now you see it even stronger post Trump entirely..

Yeah, some of the richest Atlanta suburbs were the one place where Loeffler and (especially) Perdue meaningfully outperformed Trump.

[Buffalo Mayor Young Kim]

A super-low turnout primary split like six ways tells us basically nothing other than no one was taking this seriously.

I’m not ready to draw conclusions until we see an actual 1 R vs 1 D special.

Wright is from Arlington

Democratic turnout in specials has always been bad in this area of Texas. The mayoral election in San Antonio saw high turnout.

I know. But I'm wondering if the TXGOP will be more confident about their prospects in this area without Trump in the White House.

They should feel confident. I know it was close, presidentially, but this district does not have the education profile of north Dallas districts. I don’t think it was ever at serious risk.

[EastwoodS]

I’m rethinking this R-R lock tbh..

[Attorney General & PPT Dwarven Dragon]

Is Sanchez done, or can she still squeak into the runoff?

It would require a minor miracle from the remaining vote in Tarrant.

Not really sure why the Dems ran several candidates capable of getting more than 5% here. Should have coalesced around one and forced others out/to states of non-campaigning. Then you can get someone to 30% and basically guarantee they advance.

Even if they had done that, I think they would have still lost the runoff by at least 10-15 points, based on the overall R vs D results.

Yeah except this district is closer to GA07 than GA06.

[Stuart98]

All of the D candidates were pretty deeply flawed, which is what led to none of them consolidating the D vote.

I'd say it's 50/50 at best.

An argument can be made for it being most like GA-11, only with suburban, urban, and rural portions that are all more R than their TX-06 equivalents.

[Boobs]

There's a reason Sanchez couldn't clear the Democratic field. (Hint: it's because no one likes her.)

[Kahane's Grave Is A Gender-Neutral Bathroom]

Wright is going to the runoff, no question about it. But Sanchez is actually closing the gap from the 2-3 points earlier. It is now less than 400 votes.

[Tender Branson]

Dems really shot themselves in the knee there by running 10 candidates.

Embarrassing !

[Duke of York]

Wright is going to the runoff, no question about it. But Sanchez is actually closing the gap from the 2-3 points earlier. It is now less than 400 votes.

Hopefully she can still make the runoff.

[EastwoodS]

I’m thinking..is it REALLY an R-R lock guys, c’mon. Looks like it could go either way.

There are only 9 precincts from Tarrant left.

It’s over.

It’s going to be a 2xR runoff.

Better than the thread's namesake Big Dan

Tarrant favors Sanchez over Ellzey though.
