and comes the primary and wendy davis loses 29 counties to someone who was a local in a civil judge who had no money, no name recognition that he needs when the davis in 29 counties mainly along the mexican border. he had a hispanic name and i'm sure that was an appeal that also sent warning signs to davis that maybe there were going to be more problems than they thought they were going to have in turning all these supposedly new hispanic voters to the democratic side. the other amazing characteristic of the 2014 democratic primary is the turnout in the roughly a little over 500,000. i think it was 455000 people who voted in the democratic primary. so i went back and i said that the look back and see how much of the significance. i know that is less. let's go back and see how far one has to go to find that small a turnout in the democratic primary. unbelievably, the answer was 1920. 1920 was the last year that fewer people voted in the texas democratic primary. now keep that in perspective the population of the state of texas in 1920 according to the census was 4.7 million. the populati

governor's race just last month when the texas attorney general beat the democrat liberal for my next wendy davis by 20% of the vote. watching that race here from virginia i thought it had to be about the time when she ran that ad on tv of her opponent of the empty wheelchair that race turned around for good. so now to talk to the transformation of the transformation of texas have it took place in the future, please join me in welcoming doctor

. >> 15 minutes of fame wendy davis the texas legislature who has run for the governor collapsed when discovered by the dallas morning news that her biography was wildly inflated. you've got to be careful of that stuff as we told you about that. only last year she was known as a rising star in the democratic party. >>> okay best men of the year. >> hands up don't shoot, it never happened, john. that way in the streets of ferguson. >> eleanor? >> speaker boehner on why he can't bring a vote on immigration in the house. his members come to him and say oh it is just too hard, don't make me do it. >> mimicly elected? >> yeah that was the mimicry, but i think that people get the point. >> the mimicry is better than the real thing. >> tom? >> president obama's narrative to the republicans are responsible for the lack of progress in bipartisan government. >> i love this guy john gruber when he falsified his assessments.

a legal voice that he was -- that texas attorney general greg abbott the man who just defeated wendy davisired him giving him a platform to take his message of strict faithful interpretation of the constitution nationwide. ted cruz then took on the entire g.o.p. establishment. [applause] >> in kind of a little known race that only attracted national attention for a primary. two years ago when he was able to defeat lieutenant governor it rocked the entire national establishment. it is still being felt today. his primary victory was no incredible even the ultra liberal ""washington post"" called it the biggest upset of 2012. in the united states senate he's had an impact from day one fighting both the obama administration and the republican establishment at every turn forcing the g.o.p. to stand and fight and forcing obama to bend to the will of the american people. ladies and gentlemen, please stand and give a warm welcome for my friend and america's change agent senator ted cruz. (cheers and applause) >> wow! god bless the great state of iowa! i want to thank each and every one of you for
