Many Democrats here have not been motivated to vote. Trump has awoken a sleeping giant. #MAGA

The turnout at voting places looked to me like it was way more than anyone believed could happen, and when I voted they were all pretty much voting Democrats in. I think the GOP underestimated the people of Texas, and it may be trouble for ted Cruz. He's especially hated in Texas after the tax scam , and not doing anything for the DACA kids, and kicking people off health care, and doing things to hurt Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. People i know hate his serial lying and can't stand the guy, so maybe there is a chance he will get voted out of office. Cruz is like trump and a total liar and not to be trusted.

although Clinton actually won District in 2016 its been about 30 years since I've been represented by a Democrat. Take some extra time to study these candidates so we nominate the Democrat that can win in November. The Democratic ballot is about twice as long as Republican ballot because of so many Democratic candidates-most with outstanding resumes
