Republican Wins Texas Special Election… In District Hillary Won by 12 Percentage Points!

[Conservative Angle]

Defeated Dem Gallego (Left); Republican winner Flores (Right)

Republican Pete Flores won the Senate District 19 seat in Texas on Tuesday–a crushing defeat for former state and U.S. Rep. Democrat Pete Gallego.

Flores and Gallego went head-to-head in the special election to replace former State Senator Carlos Uresti who lost his seat after he was convicted of 11 felony charges.

This district has not seen a Republican hold the seat in 139 years.

Andrew Phelps McCormick was the last Republican to hold this seat and he left office in 1879, reported My San Antonio.

My San Antonio reported:

Voters elected political newcomer Pete Flores to the Texas Senate on Tuesday, flipping a Democratic district red for the first time in 139 years and further bolstering Republicans' supermajority in the chamber ahead of the November elections.

A retired game warden, Flores defeated former state and U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego for the Senate District 19 seat after receiving backing from some of the state's most prominent politicians, including Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, and U.S. Sens John Cornyn and Ted Cruz.

“We conservatives are conservative in the way we make approaches. The gun fight's not over until the last shot's fired,” Flores told the Express-News after Gallego conceded in a phone call just before 9 p.m. “The last shot's been fired.”

Flores' win marked an incredible upset in a district that political observers said shouldn't have been competitive for Republicans. Low turnout in special elections and high-level GOP interests in preserving a Senate supermajority helped push Flores across the line, they said.

Hillary Clinton won District 19 by over 12 percentage points in the 2016 presidential election!

I believe the American people will continue to do what is right for our great country. They watched as The Kenyan was elected and immediately went around the world to "apologize" for America. Americans watched as The Kenyan was selling out America to the highest bidder and then to add insult to injury delivered $1.6 billion in cash to Iran in the dead of night. Obama is Satan. Obama is a fraud.

I believe we will be seeing more of "Republican Wins!" Americans are mad and they aren't going back to the way it was when the democrats were in control. They ran America into the ground. President Trump rescued America.

How is Ted Cruz losing in Texas to that socialist with a DUI? It’s unbelievable, Cruz needs Trump’s HELP, I believe Trump will stump for him, I heard that. Why are voters sour on Cruz. Cruz did not become a Flake or McCain..... That crazy socialist is as bad as the puerto rican from NYC. We can’t have total loons in Congress or Senate. They DESTROY, look at London, Sweden, Germany - all being destroyed by left wingers.

Sheila.. I don’t have an answer but what I can add here is that our country is going center.

How is Ted Cruz losing in Texas to that socialist with a DUI?

Also, that communist Andrew Gillum, is ahead in the polls for Florida's governor. DeSantis must defeat that radical leftist!

our country is going center.

What is the 'center'?

The Overton window has shifted so far left, that the 'center' is about what democrats were just a decade or two ago.

Too far left and too far right is too far for America. Note here that I am expressing my personal opinion.



Thanks for sharing this!

...And we are expressing our opinion. We were not criticizing your comment. Opinions are what this forum is all about.

The point was the left has hijacked most aspects of our society, to the point of not recognizing what 'the center' even is, anymore.

Curious; what is too far to the right?
