TX-SEN 2024 megathread: The Hunt for the Zodiac Killer

[2016]

@Spectator,
Honestly in 2018 Ted Cruz was still somewhat damaged because of his 2016 POTUS Campaign + TX Democrats had a sort of new fresh voice in Beto O'Rourke.

Colin Allred is no O'Rourke whatsoever and Cruz is a lot more popular compared to 2018.

Also Allred, since getting elected to the House in 2018, has voted 100 % with Democrats. Good Luck trying to sell that in a State like Texas.

If it's a Trump vs Biden Rematch in 2024 Turnout in Texas will be considerably lower because a lot of Republicans & Democrats will stay home as they both can't stomach voting for either of them.

Cruz will hammer Allred non-stop on Immigration.

The Democratic Senate Majority is GONE now in a big black smoke!

I'm not too beat up about Allred being out either. I never thought Democrats had much of a chance here yet barring a Cruz-O'Rourke rematch if Beto hadn't run for President and Governor.

I still think Democrats' best strategy is to go all-in on defense and pray that they somehow don't lose more than one seat, especially among the Trump state Senators.

Well I have to remind you that this is the only realistic opportunity for a pickup for the Democrats, so giving up on this race would be a bad idea and there are plenty of other reasons why it'd be bad to pass this up.

The main reason it’s dumb is that there’s a solid case to be made that TX-Sen is more likely to go Democrat than either MT-Sen or OH-Sen, and like you said, it’s the only real pickup opportunity for the DSCC.

Plus a Democrat win in the Senate race, even if Trump narrowly took the state at the presidential level, squarely puts the state on the board for 2028 and going forward.

Ted Cruz is not that unpopular like these Democrats here on Atlas are claiming.

Trump is up 8/10 pts TX but not Cruz he is leading by 2

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg poured in 100M $ to turn Florida BLUE in 2020 and it went all down the drain.

$$$$ isn't everything!

Trump & Cruz will win TX easily this year.

Lol and people called him a good candidate

It's only Fox News reporting this. Realistically, anyone who would vote against Allred for this reason was already voting for Cruz. This doesn't affect the final result much if at all.

Swing voters in Texas are very against illegal immigration. Of course it'll affect the final result lmao.

I'm rather skeptical, just because Republicans always accuse Democrats of being soft on this issue.

TX-SEN & FL-SEN are off the table for Democrats and the only way now Schumer retains his Majority Leaders Position is if Democrats pull a "HOUDINI" and all their Incumbents win. Highly unlikely I'd say.
