This time Cruz won the Texas Senate seat with less than 250,000 vote lead, in 2012 he won that seat with a lead of over 1,100,000 lead in votes.
The people are changing.
The demographics are changing indeed and the democrats are leaning further and further towards socialism. Thus their encouragement of the massive influx of illegals who will further expedite this change.
Massive voter registration is, and has been underway along the border, and border counties are solid blue already. Voter turnout for this election in this county was 3X what it was in the last mid-term election and, I fear, will only increase the blue influence on Texas politics.

Yes, that campaign took a nasty turn and tarnished Ted Cruz's image for a lot of us, but, to his credit, he has supported the President's efforts of late. I believe that, and the importance of retaining the Senate overrode the negative effect of the presidential campaign in the minds of most voters. The radical left tilt of the undocumented Irishman also helped to seal the deal.
