What happens when you run a thoroughly unlikable Republican against a very likable Democrat for Senate in Texas?

You get a 3 point Republican win. Give or take 1 point. That's as close as the Donk is gonna get

Edit.... but now that Beto has Willie, maybe shave another point

Dems lose a seat in a special election in San Antonio Tuesday...in a district that HillDog carried by 12points...
Republican Pete Flores' upset victory in a Democratic-friendly Texas Senate district Tuesday night has spurred GOP jubilation and Democratic soul-searching with less than two months until the November elections.

"All this talk about a 'blue wave'? Well, the tide is out," Republican Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick proclaimed at Flores' election night party in San Antonio.

Flores beat Democrat Pete Gallego, a former U.S. representative, by 6 percentage points in the special election runoff for Senate District 19, where state Sen. Carlos Uresti, D-San Antonio, resigned earlier this year after 11 felony convictions. The win made Flores the first Hispanic Republican in the Texas Senate and grew the GOP majority there to 21 members, a key addition as the caucus heads toward November looking to retain its supermajority.

After Willie Nelson announced Wednesday that he would be headlining a Sept. 29 rally for O’Rourke in Austin, fans have taken to social media to boycott and publicly disown the country legend.
