No. No Democrat could. This is not the year it flips, even if it continues moving left.

Can he? Yes. Will he? Probably not, but he’s absolutely more likely to win TX than IA/ME-02 and undoubtedly more likely to win TX than to lose VA. My current guess is that he loses the state by 2-4 points, but not more than that. So Lean R if I had to rate it.

You’d think all those TX polls would deter people from smugly declaring states like GA and FL Likely/Safe R with Sanders or posting simplistic "TX/FL/VA = South = Sun Belt = suburbs = Romney/Clinton voters + minorities = Sanders bad fit = Safe R with Bernie" takes, but obviously that’s not going to happen.

Trump doesn’t poll good in IA either . The only places he seems to poll good is in FL lol.


And IA is not more likely to flip than TX lol




Oh, wow, you actually agree with me that Texas is more likely to flip than Iowa. I guess people can learn.

If Micheal Bloomberg is the nominee I would actually agree , cause Micheal Bloomberg is an excellent fit for Texas while Biden was the only candidate who was a great fit to win Iowa in a general election .

If Bernie is the nominee well it won’t matter cause he will lose both easily

How exactly in Michael Bloomberg an “excellent fit” for Texas? I’m not saying he’s an awful fit but how is someone who supports very tough gun control legislations an excellent fit

Not to mention that this entire "Candidate X is an excellent/poor fit for state Y and will therefore do significantly better/worse in said state than Candidate Z, who is a much worse/better fit for the state" line of reasoning is inane for obvious reasons.

I respect that the op meant this question in a serious way but come on....

It’d take a scandal of biblical proportions combined with a total collapse of the economy

No way Bernie keeps Texas within 10 pts. He is a terrible fit for the state. The polls are not measuring how unpopular socialism is. Trump would demolish him politically.

Vs Amy: Trump by 6
Vs Biden: Trump by 5

Sure he would but Trump will also be mired in a couple of self-inflicted controversies which will hurt him which will make Trump win TX against Bernie by 8 points.

Even Abbot couldn't get that margin against a no name candidate.

Of course now he cant, but 2008, the wave didnt happen until the last minute, October 2008. But, Castro would have been a better Candidate than Hegar who will lose to Cornyn

Trump only has to yell socialist a few times and those Williamson County, Hays County and Fort Bend County Democratic-leaning indies will come running into his arms. If only other Republicans before him had thought to attack their opponents as socialists...

I doubt any Democrat would at this time.  They’d all probably improve on the 2016 margin, however.

Bernie would be one of the worst candidates for the Democrats' chances in TX this year.  Yes, the youth vote may like him, but he'll also draw more conservatives out to help Trump.

Trump by at least 10 points.

Conservatives...turn out at maximum levels for all elections no matter who it’s against. It seems like everyone is pulling these wild “Bernie is going to do so badly against Trump in the suburbs” memes out of their asses when there is zero polling evidence to back that up. He is polling just as well as Biden and Bloomberg and far better than Warren, Klobuchar, and Buttigieg are against Trump

A failed NYC Tycoon that stood on a golden escalator won Iowa, a state that the Bushes struggled with.

A man with the middle name Hussein did a better job in NC and Virginia than actual Southern Democrats.

A nepotist won West Virginia despite losing the popular vote, while his Daddy couldn't do the same thing with an 8 point lead.

See the problem here?
