WHITE! SUPREMACIST!!! AND MYSOGYNIST!!! TRUMP SUPPORTER!!! MAYRA FLORES WINS ELECTION IN TX 34. THANK YOU BRANDON!
This is clearly internalized whiteness and racism by 84 % Hispanic district, and bodes really well for Fall elections for D's.
Despite Ms Flores being 1st or 2nd ever US Representative born in Mexico, and a WOMYN OF COLOR! you won't find this on first page of CNN, at least as of now. Instead, what is important is "Mixed results for Republicans who angered Trump".

Ethnic politics began almost as soon as the Irish stepped off the boats in the nineteenth century, starting in tight-knit communities organized around the Roman Catholic Church. When they became citizens, their choice of party was an easy one: Andrew Jackson’s Democrats — the “party of the people” fighting against the mercantile interests most closely aligned with England, the colonial oppressor they despised. The next wave of arrivals, from Italy, were harder to wrangle politically, having come from the country’s south, where national government barely existed. They were migrant workers who went back and forth to their country of origin freely, loyal to their local villages rather than any nation or political party.

They all rallied behind John F. Kennedy, who received 78 percent of the white Catholic vote in 1960. ...

For Democrats, this was not how things were meant to go. Hispanics were supposed to be part of an “emerging Democratic majority” consisting of educated and non-white voters, whose growing numbers and Democratic lean were supposed to sound the death knell for conservative politics. The theory began to show cracks with the election of Donald Trump. A further blow was dealt in 2020, when Trump nearly won the Electoral College with a coalition that fused increases among minority voters with continued strength among working-class whites. ...

The left’s ill-conceived focus on skin color ignored the fact that Hispanics always had more in common with nineteenth-century European immigrants than with Blacks. Like white Catholics, Hispanics chose to come to America, thinking they might build a better life here. ...

This June, Mayra Flores became the first Republican in more than a century to win a congressional seat there. She is defending it under more Democratic lines, and polls show her to be competitive. Flores is part of a trio of Latina Republicans — Monica de la Cruz in the 15th district next door and Cassy Garcia in the Laredo-based 28th district — who could make the Valley solid red in the next Congress. ...

The left has also lost the plot on border security, falsely assuming that Hispanics are activists for open borders. By a two-to-one margin — more in the Rio Grande Valley, Texas Hispanics choose stronger border security over letting in more asylum-seekers. The border patrol is a top employer in the region, and illegal migration is seen as an unwelcome incursion that makes their own neighborhoods less safe. ...

It is too soon to tell if Republicans will be successful in riding economic themes and border security to victory in the Valley’s three Congressional seats. Right now, they are favored in one — de la Cruz’s 15th — while the others are uphill fights against longtime Democratic incumbents. But even coming close would signal a durable shift among Hispanic voters in a region where Democratic incumbents were winning by more than twenty points in 2016. In either event, the long-term trajectory of Hispanics seems clear.

Gas prices are the key. Why is Bidet selling our Strategic oil reserve? With gas at $4 in TX he would be voted out of his depends, now he has a slight chance.

Texas already voted against Biden in 2020.

Only parts of South TX voted against Bidet (quit misspelling his name @Patrick!). With gas prices high most Hispanics would walk off plantation which would destroy Democrats as we know in TX.
40   Patrick   2022 Oct 3, 2:24pm  

Bidet lost the whole state though.

But I agree, gas prices are important to Hispanics, especially because of the distances in Texas.

Gas/energy prices are important to everyone.

Having your best metric be with voters under 30 is pretty awful. That age group doesn’t vote with anything like the clockwork regularity of middle aged people and old people. If you get 40% of them to the polls, that’s a good year. It’s a Midterm election. That’s historically mostly very politically interested voters who vote in those.

I maintain that this election is going to be a historic blowout, red tsunami

I hope you are right, but I predict massive, after-hours vote dumps in critical districts. That is, if Oz pulls the lead in Pennsylvania after polls close, sudden influxes of Dem ballots will flood Pittsburgh and Philly in the wee hours of the next day.

Gonzales replaced Hurd. Hurd barely won. Gonzales looks a lot stronger and even more conservative.

I'm not sure who Vincente Gonzales is but he is winning in the polls against Flores.

I'll take up that bet.

People are going to have to learn the hard way that we don't have a real voting system. Hope I'm wrong, but I doubt it.

I expect the democrats to retain both houses.

As we all know the only secure election is when officials go door-to-door with a stack of ballots and two soldiers with full-auto rifles in tow and make sure everybody in every house fills and hands over their ballot.

Any other system is a sham!

Is it still 538?

Good for you, I paid $6.0x (regular 87) at Costco yesterday. I heard the strategic reserves are getting emptied again to keep the gas "low" until the election.

That district is currently a toss-up but if the trajectory holds (from Biden +13 in 2020 to tossup now) Ms Flores will get re-elected. Her problem is that TX good old boys redraw district lines to help a neighboring Hispanic conservative candidate (TX-15, https://nitter.dark.fail/monica4congress) so Flores is now worse off than in June election.

I am looking forward to these two Hispanic high-energy ladies in Congress as they will make life miserable for libruls. Should be lots of fun. Screenshot from Senora De Cruz twatter feed:

and OPEC just announced production cuts right before this midterm election

its all about the Democrats wanting gas prices to go up right after the midterm election and for the midterm election to be only about abortion and the January 6 riot

higher energy prices help the Democrat push their green agenda as far as solar power and electric vehicles

He also retired from active duty in the US Navy. I've seen him speak and he is very impressive on camera.

https://www.dailywire.com/news/mayra-flores-the-first-mexican-born-congresswoman-responds-after-rejection-from-hispanic-caucus


Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) on Wednesday blasted Democrats‘ “bias toward conservative Latinas” after it was reported that Flores, the first Mexican-born woman ever elected to Congress, was denied acceptance to the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) because she’s a Republican.

The CHC confirmed Wednesday that Flores was denied entry, in part, because she’s a Republican, after Townhall first reported on the reason for the rejection based on sourcing.


She actually means "bias against conservative Latinas". And she's right.

She is just making herself visible in media as CHC has requirement of being a D in their bylaws.

Ms Flores is very good at working press and social media and I will go out on a limb and say she will be re-elected today. Unlike Fake Mexican Beto the Pendejx
