It is hilarious how no one can get excited anymore for a Texas poll when the D is only down 3.

Right? If there was a McCain +3 poll in 2008, people would be losing their sh**t. Well, people will be losing their sh**t on election night when the early vote comes in and Clinton is ahead... until the election day votes start being counted and it flips to Trump.

Obama was actually ahead by a few points in Texas in 2008 with just the early votes counted. McCain won by 11 points, but seeing a Democrat ahead there was pretty cool too see.

Clinton won huge swathes of rural Texas in 1996, when he lost Texas by around 5 points. He won those East Texas rural deep south counties that border LA. Now those rural counties that Clinton won or was competitive in are deeply Republican. Hillary's county map will look a lot like Obama's map. She will just increase the margins in the big cities and suburbs and the Rio Grande valley.
