Texas megathread

[Secretary of State Liberal Hack]

I've been in Brazos county for the last two weeks and spent an earlier weak in Houston. The only republican signs have been for state legislature as well as judgeships. Not a single statewide republican sign even in this fairly red downballot county.

Beto signs are pretty common by comparison, I think I've seen about a dozen in college station.

The Aggie cult is going for Beto lmao

I've honestly have not talked much about politics at all since I got here except with my amily, in fact I think i've discussed french politics with my fellow french exchange students* than I have american politics. My family here moved from pakistan in the 1970's and are pretty conservative republicans except for my aunt who's voted presidentaly blue and downballot red the last 4 election.

But the McCaul signs are everywhere!

Real weird, the district isn't that competive this year.

Abbott is lucky
A Beto is his opponent
B Biden is President

Beto is an above average candidate, if it wasn't for his presidental campagin he would have been a great one.

Given the National environment is pretty even, is there any reason to think this race is going to be less competitive than Beto's 2018 race was ? Abbots approval rating isn't that great and the trends driving Texas blue haven't exactly stopped. Not to mention it's a flash point regarding abortion which is driving democratic turnout

Huge turnout for the beto rally at A&M

My friends their right now, I'm glad A&M is a really conservative school! that's a good sign for Beto

I'm also there. They had to start turning people away cause it's full l.

Still more yard signs back in 2018, and conversely Abbot is more common than Cruz.

Haven't seen too many yard signs except at the gas station near campus that's completely decked out in them for local elections but I haven't really left campus much.

Did see one student wearing a Biden 2020 shirt which was rather suprising.

Bye, Bye Beto O'Rourke. Abbott nailed Beto on about everything in the Debate.

I expect a Poll Bump for Abbott soon!

Did you even watch it ?
