Can we give a shout out to Texas voters

Both sides..... more than 4.5 million voters voted in the primary. We haven't seen that in TX in a primary in decades.
2.4 million Dems voted; 2.1 million Republicans.

We had several people stop by the Democratic Party primary yesterday looking for the Republican’s primary and they just decided to vote in our primary? Not sure if they were lazy or just using it as an excuse to switch parties. I just hope this trend continues.

Assuming the runoffs don't switch the leaders.... although the replacements are often just as crazy if not moreso, these guys didn't win their primaries (or are headed to the runoff in second place... Paxton, Roy, Crenshaw, SID MILLER!, Tony Gonzales, and a few others in lower offices.
