Don't worry about Texas, your bros got your back with attempts to cause rifts in the Democrats.
Did Russian trolls try to register for a Texas Democratic convention?
edit:
It's interesting how the GOP called Lamb an extreme liberal before the election, but now afterwards they say he ran as a conservative. The Democrats currently have a centrist platform, fiscally conservative and socially liberal. There has been some pull towards a progressive populist direction, but that has not taken over.

After:
"Lamb ran as a 'conservative'" -Paul Ryan
“The young man last night that ran, he said, ‘Oh, I’m like Trump. Second Amendment, everything. I love the tax cuts, everything.’ He ran on that basis,” Trump said Wednesday night at a private fundraiser. “He ran on a campaign that said very nice things about me. I said, ‘Is he a Republican? He sounds like a Republican to me.'" -Trump
Reality:
Lamb ran as a conservative Democrat, but that is far from being what is currently known as a "conservative".
- Lamb wants to keep the Affordable Care Act in place. His opponent, Rick Saccone, wants it repealed.
- Lamb blasted the GOP tax plan as “giveaway” to the rich. His opponent supports the plan.
- Lamb said that he personally opposes abortion but that he doesn't think the right to have one should be taken away. His opponent flatly opposes abortion rights.
- Lamb wants to strengthen background checks for gun sales, although he doesn't think there should be new restrictions on guns.
- Lamb supports Trump's tariffs on steel and aluminum, even though GOP leaders including Ryan oppose them.
GOP-related groups donated $10.7 million, while outside spending for Lamb only hit $2.6 million for this campaign. Lamb did raise more campaign funds than Saccone, but when tallied together, Saccone spent ~$11 million, while Lamb only spent ~$5 million. Lamb spent half the amount of money as his opponent, and still overcame the 20 point gap that Trump achieved in 2016.
