Texas is still mostly conservative but it appears that Florida may elect the mayor of Tallahassee, the very radical Democrat, who if is successful in transforming Florida will be just reward for those who have moved from states that were messed up by liberals only to continue to vote the same way putting in the same type people that ruined the states they left in the first place. Florida has almost been taken over by those from Northern states moving to Florida to live. California is another example of a State that was basically Conservative and changed to Liberal and now you have people leaving California in droves and lots of them are choosing to move to Texas (from what I have heard).
What's crazy is how people that have the means to leave states that become inhabitable due to extremely high taxation and restrictions move to places that are much more desirable living areas only to attempt to enact changes that will ultimately end up turning their new location into their old one that they chose to flee from.
If, Gillum wins, I suggest they rename Florida -- Nueva Venezuela.
DeSantis is predicted to win over Gillum ....thankfully folks in Florida made the right choice to preserve their progress. Brian Kemp also soundly defeated Stacy Abrams so Tennessee, Georgia, Alabama, and Florida have all voted in Republican Governors. Looks though that the Democrats will have taken and controlled the House. I believe that the Stock Market will show it's displeasure but who knows how that will go. Looks like Republicans will gain some seats in the Senate making it easier to confirm judges and get other things done.
One thing about Democrats taking control of the House is that, from what I have heard, they won the House by taking moderate stands and not highly liberal ones so if they then turn and legislate from the highly liberal position then I believe they will lose in two years and other Democrats should realize that it took moving toward moderate positions to enable them to win.
