Blue wave receding? Republican easily wins Texas special election
By Rick Moran

Democrats have pinned their hopes on a blue wave that would bury Republicans in November by taking making inroads into solid GOP territory in states like Texas, California, and Florida.

The California primaries last month showed that Democrats are likely to make gains in the House, but fall short of achieving a dominant "wave" election. They may not even retake the House, as Republicans appear to have recovered a bit from some special election losses earlier in the spring.

But  results from a special election in Texas should allow the Republicans to breathe a bit easier. In the race to replace GOP Rep. Blake Farenthold who resigned last spring in disgrace, a little known Republican, Michael Cloud won 53% of the vote, avoiding a runoff with the Democrat, Eric Holguin, who got only 32%.

Trump carried the district in 2016 by 24 points, so Cloud's 22 point victory was welcome news.

That was a special election.  Historically, Democrats don't show up well for such elections.  They will show up in November.  However, in an non-presidential year, Republicans show up more than Democrats do.  However, with the political climate the way it is, and so many more Democrats showing up in the primary as never before in Texas, they may vote in November this time so this seat could go to them.

When was the Blue Wave a real phenomenon? 

It was a fake meme foisted on the public by the MSM.   It never was real.  Just a pipe dream.
