November 3rd General Election
Ugh!!
Unfortunately, for a number of converging reasons, the Democrats swayed enough voters to drink their proverbial KoolAid. With the help of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the “I hate Trump no matter what” voters (who are usually the most uninformed), the U.S. Senate seat has been lost… for six years. Not only that, but that race (Talarico vs. Paxton) put at risk, every single Republican candidate on the ballot in November. Why? Because the Democrats vote ALL THE WAY DOWN THE BALLOT.
Gone are the days that voters choose what’s best for their country and state. If a candidate, in this case Talarico, wins at the top of the ticket, the same margin of victory is secured for every statewide office below it. Simply put, Republicans who ran for any of these offices, from the executive branch to the judicial branch all lost because of that U.S. Senate race.
As Conservatives, we must understand how elections work and make sure going forward we don’t make similar mistakes. Nationwide, Republican candidates fell, not because of their shortcomings necessarily, but because of circumstances mostly out of their control. It was ugly, but not surprising. When people vote because they are angry toward a personality (vs. policy), it’s a sad day. Throw in the conflict in Iran, higher gas prices, and the constant rhetoric coming from the left on anything they can manipulate into a message, and you get a perfect storm for what just happened.
We will recover. It’s going to take work. It will not be easy. Comal County voted Republican by over a 2 to 1 margin. All of our County Offices are Red. Mark Teixeira will be our Congressional representative. Carrie Isaac and Donna Campbell are still our State reps. We will keep our heads up and move forward.
