ABC just called Texas for Cruz

[Takket]

not sure why............. looking at the major cities, Dallas, Houston, austin... only about 15%ish in in each of those counties. How can they call it with so many beto votes still out there???

5. Boo

CNN is still saying Beto still has a chance. Someone jumped the shark

6. They know where the last votes are going to come from

as I said Beto was down too much.

7. exit polls show Beto losing narrowly due to males going more for Cruz than women for Beto

Gender
O'Rourke Cruz No Answer
Male
49%
42% 57% 1%
Female
51%
53% 46% 1%

8. Damn. Not unexpected. But it was a good run, and he's built a foundation for the future

Maybe not just a foundation, but a launching pad for democrats in Texas. It was an amazing race.

9. Seems premature

10. I'm heartbroken.

Fuck.

11. 19% reporting and they're calling it for Cruz?

That's ridiculous.

Cruz is approx. 2% points ahead of Beto.

It's too early to call.

14. i could see callnig it if all the urban counties were in...

but like i said, they are not.

Dallas only 28% counted and Beto is up 200k there, for example.

12. I dont see them calling it if they're not sure

Damnit I was so hoping Beto could pull it off. And to be honest I think Beto was the only 1 that could beat Trump in 2020 outside of Gillum. But if Beto isnt in the Senate he wont be able to have a serious run i dont think.

13. The margin is thin and a lot of votes still left to count. WTF?
