13. Wasn't even close. A 31 percentage point flip from the 2024 presidential race.

Perhaps there is hope that average Texans are extracting their collective heads out of their collective asses. If Texas finally gets over that hump, as Virginia did after 2004, Repukes are dead nationally.

Dems have a unique opportunity not just in TX but nationally with all that's been going on. Pukes can't run from Donnie's galactic fuck ups. If we do this right, 2026 could make the 1994 congressional landslide look small by comparison. Please, Dems, don't lose this once in a generation opportunity.
