And Beto is net negative in favorability(44/49) while Cruz is (51/44)....so much for running only positive ads.
Or "so much for the idea of Texas seeing any Democrat favorably or any Republican unfavorably in the year 2018."
I mean, they haven't elected a statewide Democrat since like 1992, right? This is hardly a new phenomenon. It's actually impressive Beto is doing as well as he is. But a win was always a pipe dream. As in you had to be smoking some good pipe to dream it.
Texas remains a firmly Republican state. I don't think Democrats will win a statewide election here for several more years, and it will probably not go Democratic at the presidential level until the 2030s
at the earliest. A lot of time and money has been wasted by the party that could have been invested into more winnable races, like Arizona and Nevada.
