The Texas Senate election shouldn’t be close. Republicans have embraced the same America First playbook that swept Warren G. Harding into office in 1920 and culminated in the 1930 Smoot-Hawley tariffs: the original America First Policy-Induced Political Extinction Event (PIPEE™). Republicans lost 52 House seats and 8 Senate seats in 1930, then another 101 House seats, 12 Senate seats, and the presidency in 1932. Republicans did not regain Congress until 1946 and the presidency until Ike in 1952.

Elliot- your data driven journalism, your political science background is reaching out to save democracy. I applaud warmly Paul.
Fascinating analysis. Thanks
I hope it's on target.
