Tonight was a loss for Trump. It was also a loss for the Republican establishment that hates Trump.

“I blame this on @GregAbbott_TX. I blame it on @DanPatrick . I blame it all on our leadership. Thinking they’re going to go for four terms as Governor. Four terms as Lt. Governor. Seriously?! If they campaigned on lowering your property taxes all that did is remind everybody why you didn’t do it 12 years ago.” - @DonHuffines #txlege
Texas midterm prediction: Republicans lose statewide offices for the first time since 1994 (or come dangerously close).
This isn't endemic to Texas going blue. The Texas Republican Party is flaccid and brought this on itself.
Republicans have controlled the governorship, House, and Senate for 24 years. Abbott and Patrick have held office for nearly half of that time.
A two-year budget up from $209B to $338B in a decade. A House speaker elected by 49 Democrats and 36 Republicans. Property-tax patches without a lasting fix.
If our rally cries center around cultural wars, we’ve lost the plot.
Texas needs a revival. New leadership. Bold execution. Maximal freedom. No more pandering to leftists in Austin.
After the dust settles tomorrow, my bet is on @DonHuffines emerging as the de facto leader of the Texas Republican Party.

@GregAbbott_TX loses to @GinaHinojosaTX in Texas.
Let that sink in.
This stems from years of terrible progressive policies by Republicans at the federal, state, and local levels.
Unfortunately, those problems may worsen under Democrats until people learn from the policy failures a select few of us have warned about for years.
“Before coming up here right now…I made the decision to call @GinaHinojosaTX and congratulate her on winning this race for governor of the great State of Texas.” — @GregAbbott_TX

Most poorly aged tweet I can remember making, and there have been a few. I’m way more depressed about the results, though, than my defective crystal ball.

Agreed. Been trying to message gas prices, housing prices, and healthcare for a while… but hard to crack through. “Dems bad” only gets you so far…
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis:
Some of these Republicans are saying, "Oh, well, the gas, don't worry. It's no big deal." Or they're trying to blame Biden.
No, no. Listen, we've just got to be honest. Gas is higher. It hurts people, working-class people, and it's higher because of the Iran conflict.
That's just the fact. If you can't admit that to voters, then you're gaslighting them, and they're not going to listen to you on other things.

Sometimes you get your ass kicked, and deserve it
Tonight is one such time for the Republican Party
Way too many mistakes. Bad messaging. Poor candidates. High prices. Unnecessary war that did not go as promised.
We get up tomorrow and carry on. But there are lessons here.

Congrats to @brianeharrison for being reelected again! One of the few policymakers in Texas with principles grounded in liberty, free markets, and personal responsibility. Keep fighting the good fight!
It’s official… I’ve been re-elected!
To the people of House District 10: THANK YOU for sending the most conservative, most effective fighter for LIBERTY back to the Texas House of Representatives.
To the people of Texas: I’m committed to fighting harder than ever to make Texas the freest, most prosperous, and most pro-LIBERTY state in America.
God bless Texas; pray for her.

PSA: the reason Texas and Florida have been appealing is because of conservative policies.
Voting for people who reject those policies will make these states as bad as the ones you’ve left.

Also Texas is a clean slate now..We can bring in new candidates because honestly Abbott. Patrick and Paxton needed to go.. Just being honest

The Republicans were crushed in the 1974 midterms. Reagan later delivered a speech explaining why:
♦️ “The meaning of the last election will not be found among those who voted. It will be found among those who stayed home—the biggest non-voter bloc in our nation’s history. And why did they stay home? Well, because they said they couldn’t see any difference between the two parties.”♦️
There’s a lesson in that worth remembering. You can’t win voters by simply telling them how bad the other side is. You have to give them a compelling reason to vote for you. Stand for something. Be bold, unapologetically conservative, offer a clear contrast, and most importantly, deliver on the promises you campaigned on. Voters need to see a real difference, not just hear about one.

I am deeply grateful to the thousands of volunteers, supporters, and everyday New Yorkers who believed in our campaign and our vision for a safer and stronger New York. I’m proud of the campaign we ran. We showed that politics does not have to be about division and it’s not about hate.
We brought people together around common sense, found common ground and had real concrete ideas for making people’s lives better. Ultimately, that’s what public office is about – public service means serving people, not celebrity or personal gain. Whatever I do moving forward will be about exactly that – serving others and making New York safer.
