U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz easily defeated U.S. Rep. Colin Allred on Tuesday, defying another spirited and well-funded effort to turn Texas blue and preserving his status as a leading conservative voice in American politics.

"The results tonight, this decisive victory, should shake the Democrat establishment to its core," he said in a speech to supporters at his campaign watch party in downtown Houston.

The Associated Press called his victory after 10 p.m. as Cruz was leading by more than double digits.

Shortly after, Allred told his supporters at his election night party in Dallas that he had conceded to Cruz.

Mexico might just save face and help give them all their rights back if that were ever to happen.

The schadenfreude of bitch-ass bigoted trash being graciously given "back" their jobs they secretly feel are somehow beneath them. I'd pay to stream that directly into my veins. 🤌🏼
