DEEP IN THE HEART OF WHAT? – AT 10:56 A.M. ET:   Texas voted in primaries yesterday.  There were Dem dreams aplenty.  A blue wave would come ashore and wipe out the evil Republicans.  The people would rise up, rise up I tell you, to drive Trumpism away and show the real heartbeat of Texas.  And all would be peaceful in the land, as Maxine Waters and Nancy Pelosi smiled above the fray.

Um, uh, look, there were some weather conditions.  The blue wave is out there, but just didn't make it to shore.  These things happen.  Don't be discouraged, Democrats.  There are reports that a Mr. Obama is rushing to Texas personally to escort the blue wave in.

My friend, Silvio Canto Jr, called this morning from Dallas to go over some of the results.  As usual, Silvio knew more about Texas than all the members of the "national" media put together.   Yes, he reported, the Democrats were animated and motivated.  They hate Trump and they had contested primaries.  So they voted in larger-than-average numbers.  The Republicans had few contested primaries, especially at the top of the ticket, the races for governor and U.S. senator.  There was really very little motivation to go to the polls, if you had some grocery shopping to do.

But Republicans voted anyway, in large numbers, much larger than the Dems.  They wanted to make a statement, and they did.  And while they must run scared in November, we seem to be okay in Texas.

Besides, some of the Dems who are zooming to the top of the Texas Democratic Party are really sixties-style radicals posing with cowboy hats and boots from the Neiman-Marcus catalogue.  Many are financed by the ogre of American politics, George Soros, billionaire leftist from New York.  I can't wait for Ted Cruz, running for re-election to the Senate, to open up on his opponent, Beto O'Rourke, who likes to dress and cut his hair like Robert Kennedy.  Beto, it's Texas, not Massachusetts.  Beto is slightly to the left of Karl Marx.

There'll be more news from Texas, a critical state.  The key to victory this year is turnout.   The Dems will get their voters out, whether dead or alive.  We just need our living ones.
