I think there should be less chatter about Texas "going blue" and more about the problem it poses for national politics if it does become a toss-up.

I'd argue there hasn't been a national political event with such massive, direct repercussions since the Civil War. There hasn't been a state of that size with a margin close to the national race since New York in the post-War period and it came to absolutely dominate the national political focus, especially within the Democratic Party. Texas could become the equivalent. We're already getting a taste of this in the fact that both Cástro and O'Rourke see themselves as presidential contenders. Their appeal relies entirely on their ability to put Texas in play.
