There was nothing subtle about this election. Democrats blew it wide open early in the evening and never looked back. It is the first time since 1988 a Democrat won a Senate election. 1990 was the last time Texans elected a Democratic governor. And you have to go back to 1994 to find the last time a Democrat won statewide office other than governor. Now, Texas Republicans have to do something they haven’t done in a long, long time: pick up the pieces and figure out what went wrong. GUESTS Matt Angle, Democratic Strategist/Lone Star Project Founder Vinny Minchillo, Republican Consultant/Glass House Strategies Founder
