Texas primary: The good, the really good, and the warning

....The first and most important lesson is that Texas should never be a close call for Republicans. if Democrats were hoping the primary results and voter turnout would be a harbinger of increased viability in the Lone Star state up and down the ballot, they should be thoroughly disappointed. To be clear, Democrats did outperform their showing in recent years, and clearly, their high level of engagement will hurt Republicans in states that are genuinely more competitive. But as Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, taunted his general election opponent, “If you’re gonna run in Texas, ya can’t be a liberal man.” Texas ain’t going anywhere into the blue column any time soon, and there are no signs that Ted Cruz is vulnerable or that House seats could flip.....

Here are six important observations from last night:

1. Ted Cruz had an excellent night .........

2. Beto O’Rourke is the new Wendy Davis.....

3. Overall turnout is up for Democrats, but not enough to win in Texas......

4. Chip Roy wins!.........

5. Democrat voters bucked the establishment....

6. Democrats have an uphill battle to flip House seats in Texas.......

I Believe in the United States of America as a Government of the people, by the people, for the people; whose just powers are derived from the consent of the governed; a democracy in a republic; a sovereign nation of many sovereign states; a perfect union one and inseparable; established upon those principles of freedom, equality, justice and humanity for which American patriots sacrificed their lives and fortunes.  I therefore believe it is my duty to my country to love it; to support its Constitution; to obey its laws to respect its flag; and to defend it against all enemies.
