For First Time In 20 Years, US Senate Candidate Wins More Votes Than Presidential Candidate In Texas
[DFW.CBSLOCAL] When U.S. Senator John Cornyn won his fourth term this week, he not only defeated Democratic challenger MJ Hegar by ten percentage points, he also won more votes in Texas than President Donald Trump...Perhaps no man has ever had as much fun being president of the US... .Senator Cornyn has 5,931,602 votes so far, which is 71,506 votes more than President Trump, who has 5,860,096 votes. The President defeated Democrat Joe Foreign Policy Whiz KidBiden ...Candidate for president in 2020. I had the great honor of being arrested with our UN Ambassador on the streets of Soweto, trying to get to see him on Robbens Island... by 648,690 votes or six percentage points, 52%-46%, while Cornyn defeated Hegar by ten percentage points, 54%-44%. That’s a change from what we have seen in most previous elections in Texas, when the Republican Presidential candidate won more votes than anyone else in the state. The last Presidential candidate in Texas who didn’t win the most votes in the state was George W. Bush, then Texas Governor, in 2000. At the time, Republican U.S. Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison won 282,452 more votes than Mr. Bush. He had 3,799,639 votes compared to her 4,082,091 votes. That year, Bush defeated former Vice President Al Gore ...Former Vice President, Nobel Prize winner, Global Warming prophet and speculator, and crazed sex poodle Al Gore... in Texas 59%-38%. Hutchison beat Democrat Gene Kelly 65%-32%. As for Senator Cornyn, he not only won more votes than President Trump statewide, but in each of the big four counties in North Texas: Dallas, Tarrant, Collin and Denton counties. When asked if Republicans didn’t vote for the President or if they voted for Biden and if Democrats voted for Cornyn, Tarrant County GOP Chair Rick Barnes said it’s most likely a combination. Tarrant County Democratic Party  ...every time you hear the phrase white people, white supremacy, whiteanything but paint, you're listening to a Democrat. Ask him/her/it to reimagine something for you; they do that a lot, though not well. They can hear a dog whistle a mile or two away. They invented the spoils system and Tammany Hall, and inspired the addition of the word (Thomas) Nastyto the English language. They want to stop continental drift and repeal the law of unintended side effects... Chair Deborah Peoples disagreed. "Well, no, I think it’s really Republicans voting for Vice President Biden and then coming back to Senator Cornyn. I think if you noticed, Senator Cornyn changed his campaign style a whole lot during the campaign." Barnes said the President’s personality may have had something to do with the results. "We do know that there are some people that it became a personality issue more so than a policy issue. And unfortunately, people that vote on personalities are going to quickly realize that was a bad way to vote." Posted by: Fred 2020-11-08 |
