TX-SEN: True to Form

[Mr. Smith]

I like Beto, but he's too liberal for Texas, and literally concedes nothing on those points, he's probably not going to win Texas that way.

Starting to slowly come to terms that Beto is not a good candidate. Running as a bold progressive and refusing to moderate or even appear moderate to voters. Terrible ads and refusing to run decent negative ads which are needed to define your opponent. DUI, sketchy family businesses etc. Not to say any Dem would be coasting to victory right now but I think Beto will underperform fundamentals relative to a generic type Dem.

And look at The Bredi with a few flashy ads here and there and doing everything to be moderate he possibly he can. Or how 'bout Heitkamp's run, with literally only the vote against Fratboy Brett as remotely "liberal".

And yet it's those two slipping under while Beto, is at least holding ground, if not necessarily winnable ground.

To be fair- Texas was FAR closer in the 2016 election than TN or ND.
Trump's win margin...
TX (9%)
TN (26%)
ND (35%)

Sit folks down and show them the future. Opens people's eyes pretty quick.

Where's the money going to come from? There's not enough younger folks to make it up. This fiscal apocalypse is still running ahead full steam.

What's Beto's plan? More skateboard parks?

Not just entitlements, but our entire economy depends on a growing population.  The U.S. birth rate has fallen below replacement levels.  One way to compensate for this is by increased immigration, but...well...

The problem is actually going to have very little to do with the US.

China, however. They have a workforce shortage of about 5 million people. Per year. Where are they going to find 5 million people willing to go to China? In 20 years the question is going to be, "where are all the immigrants"? Because there won't be any.

Trump's 75 to 100k rally actually had significantly less than 18k people in attendance.

Don't worry, he'll point out how there were 57k to 82k watching outside on giant screens because they couldn't get inside the arena.

According to TX Tribune, 63k Harris county voters yesterday. According to the SoS website there were 67k voters on the first day of early voting for the 2016 presidential election, and 20k for the 2014 midterm (Cornyn was up).

Dallas looks to be pretty much in line with this (~95% of the 2016 turnout so far).

It's one day, and I'm not sure where the Tribune is getting these numbers, so huge grains of salt. Also note the enormous flux in little counties like Midland cited.

Ah, thank you kind stranger!

[I Can Now Die Happy]

To be satisfied, I'm hoping for the final result to be something like Cruz+11. We need to show improvement from Trump's 2016 performance.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

My dad early voted just over an hour ago in person, north dallas suburbs, obviously straight democrat, he texted me this:

“I voted. Remember there was hardly any line last time? This time there is a constant line about 100 yards long!”

You think so?

Again: did you forget that a few weeks ago, you were pretending to be a liberal who wanted Dems to vote Republican in order to move the Democrats to the left?

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

Though he did vote against the propositions for increased DISD funding because he says that he is already taxed too much.

[Co-Chair Bagel23]

I agree with him, DISD is super corrupt and wasteful, and taxes are already high enough as is.

It must be a different handler operating this account.

Charles Baker surely has his race "in the bag." I hope to see Pocahontas Warren defeated! My homosexual friend is also voting against Warren, despite being complete homosexual.
