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

[oldtimer]

All I know is whoever is the nominee needs to pound the pavement as hard if not harder than Beto did.

I've come to the conclution that Texas is one of those states that it doesn't really matter.

Conservatives have always had a pretty stable lead before and after Bush W. due to the size of Texas's rural population which has mostly kept up with the state's population growth in the past 50 years.

It's the reverse of the West Coast.

Texas rurals are stagnant or declining. Trump in 2020 just juiced literally every vote he could out of them:

Incorrect.

The typical Texas rural county has had it's population double since 1970 at the same time as the State population has tripled, so it's share hasn't declined by much.

There are way more rural people in Texas than California and they vote Republican by twice the margin than in rural California.

That's the secret of why Abbott won by 11 and Newsom by 19.
