Many Republicans have been apathetic in Texas because we've assumed for far too long the Democratic victory was "years away."

2018 woke a lot of people up - especially with recent news about California's economy plummeting. The only real reason Cruz came so close to losing is because a lot of Republicans still didn't like him from the 2016 race. Our Republican governor won by +11 so that means 9% of people who wanted to vote Republican didn't bother to support Cruz. Also Beto spent more money than any other senatorial competitor in the history of the country.
