Another high quality poll out of Texas, another poll showing it competitive. Polls underestimated Democrats there in 2016 and 2018, and more polls have shown Biden in the lead than showed O'Rourke in the lead in 2018.
It's hard for people to admit because it's such a strange thought, but Texas could flip in November, and will at the very least be a competitive state. Obviously, as we get closer to November, the race could tighten, but polls for Democrats in Texas have not looked as good as this in recent memory.
The problem is that Texas is a very expensive state to campaign in.
Let's say that it takes $500 million to flip Texas, how are Democrats going to pay for it?
Bloomberg! It will be a better ROI than the disaster that was his presidential campaign.
Really this is what he should have been doing the whole time if he wanted to be useful.
TX would be expensive and even if they don't compete for it like in other states (which they shouldn't) it's still time and money well spent - there's house races, the state house, etc. Plus there are probably tons of untapped voters in TX who might not even be registered which is where the focus should be pushed. New residents moving in, younger voters, people who have sat on the sidelines because they live in a "red state" - lots of potential here.
