Texans are engaged, and Republican voters are leading the way. Early voting numbers show GOP turnout exceeding Democrats for the first time this cycle, with over 542,000 Republican ballots cast in just six days.

But we've been told it's all doom and gloom as D's outperform R's and we need to vote for moderate R's instead of conservatives to stop the big bad D's from winning.

Despite the naysayers, Texas is firmly RED.
It's amazing how things have switched in 30 years. Republicans used to be high propensity voters, and Dems low propensity, but now it has mostly flipped. Still, even without the highly engaged woke Karens making an early dash to the polls to vote against Trump (when he's not on the ballot), the Republicans will outnumber the Democrats (in Texas). I personally haven't been to vote, yet, because I haven't decided who I'm voting for in some of the races. Have to find a few minutes to make some choices. If you are a D, it's a lot simpler.
Dems may swing the House by thin a margin but I'm not buying the 'blue wave' hype any more than I bought the 'Trump will never get re-elected if he's the nominee' talking points in 2024.
I think if the Dems make any gains they will be minimal, in a cycle where the minority party is expected to do very well. Regardless of whether the R's hang on, or Dems make slight gains...the spin will be that Trump is done. No one is going to concede that the Dems have an image and policy problem with American voters.

The fact that the Dems can't get a stronger turnout in a cycle where they should be motivated says a lot about their lack of leadership and direction. They don't stand for anything, except being anti-Trump.

Remember just a few years back when Dems took extreme offense to even having their patriotism questioned because it was a war issue?
Now, openly flaunting their lack of patriotism. American government is not supposed to protect the country and American citizens anymore? Amazing and sad.
By our count, the Democratic primary is seeing a clear ballot edge over the Republican primary, with nearly 1.4 million total votes cast between the two.

That's because they have ZERO policy answers. Seriously. They couldn't cut a straight line if you drew it for them on paper. They seriously lack any knowledge of most current policies/events. They're only answer is to HATE Trump. They offer NOTHING of value.
Voted this morning ITL Houston. I was the only spec of red in the sea of blue.
I don't get why I'm supposed to panic about the general election turnout because of primary early voting. There seems to be a large lack of consideration about certain matchups and local issues that may be more important to voters than national general election issues are like anti-Trumpism, which is what everyone is trying to extrapolate. How am I going to vote anti-Trump by showing up to vote for some random representative or local judge races. What exactly is the motivation here?
It seems to me, primaries for more local candidates, you know, the people folks probably deal with on a daily basis in their own community, would weigh heavily in turnout motivation against issues that aren't even affected by a primary vote like anti-Trumpism.

You're not, but the Democrats, leftists, and media need to drive a narrative to try to depress Republican turnout in both the primary and general election.
"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

Correct. Make it sound like the game is over before it actually starts.
It's hard to get behind the gop when they screw us every chance they get.
They paid for their wars with your tax dollars and also with your untaxed dollars. Inflation is theft.

The primary is your best shot at trying to make a change.
For instance, Cornyn. Kick his ass to the curb. Same with Crenshaw.
A bit pet peeve of mine (generally, not you) is the people that constantly ***** and moan about the RINOs but never show up at the primary to vote. The primary is just as important as the general election.
The general election is for beating your opposition . The primary election is for advancing your agenda.

I might vote for Crockett in the primary just to get her elected. Whoever the R is will blow her out
I think the R wins regardless, but Crockett will be the easier opponent
IDK I may still vote against John, he needs to be beat but I also want the Dem to be Crockett. Hard decision lol
Slight improvement for Rs

Are most people on F16 voting Paxton to primary Cornyn?
Or does Paxton also suck? I haven't really been following this.
Or does Paxton also suck? I haven't really been following this.
I voted for Wesley Hunt at the Austin Recreation Center 3 days ago, but I think there will be a primary runoff between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. If that happens, I hope John Cornyn wins the primary because I think Cornyn has a better chance than Ken Paxton of beating James Talarico in the general election. A general election matchup between Paxton and Talarico would likely be a tossup. If Jasmine Crockett wins the Democratic nomination, she has a very slim chance of winning the general election.
A Democrat hasn't won any Texas statewide office since 1994, a Texas gubernatorial election since 1990, a Texas US Senate election since 1988, and Texas electoral votes in a Presidential election since 1976. I hope these trends continue in the gubernatorial and US Senate elections on 11/3 to keep Texas red.

If the GOP primary numbers are high, the incumbents might start getting nervous.

If the voters were doing a good job, incumbents would be nervous every election cycle.
But unfortunately the voters are dumb as a whole.

That's exactly how I read the numbers. High turnout for a primary? May be because voters are looking to remove the incumbent. Maybe. No way to be certain until the numbers are in.

Make that "usually", not "always". There have been a few times when the President's party gained seats in the mid term elections.
See https://www.davemanuel.com/us-midterm-elections-history.php
The exceptions were FDR, Clinton, and George Bush.
Everyone looks at the shiny object in statewide races...meanwhile...
"Unlimited Tax" is just a phrase that gives you the warm fuzzies.

except 2022 was a famously poor showing for republicans
Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization was the main cause that year. All the baby killers voted to make sure they could keep up their sacrifices to Molech.
Just like in 2002, the main cause for the Republicans gaining seats was 9/11.
