Trump won’t have a problem in Texas, just more dreaming due to Cruz’s close call. But the difference is that Cruz was such a dick he no longer excites the base...now we just tolerate him, but do appreciate his voting record.
In 2014, Republicans won every statewide race by 20 points...things don’t change that fast, regardless of dreaming.
Will Trump also win by 20 points? Or by less than 10 points like 2016?
What you said... is 100% correct.
Some of those early “head to head” polls I’ve seen asking Biden vs Trump or Bernie vs Trump (including a few that way oversampled D voters) showed that Trump was pulling 33% among Hispanics and 12% among African Americans.
Dems need to hold the line there and almost no further. Personally, I think both demographic groups can be won over on the merits and shouldn’t take for granted that DEMs can hold their past numbers among these groups into the future.
100 % agree.
Cruz lost me with his antics at the convention. I was a supporter during the campaign...unsure of Trump.
I held my nose because of the faux Robert F. O’Rourke threat.
Now? Thank you, Lord, for President Trump.
The main reason why the Cruz race was close was because of the huge amounts of outside money coming into Texas for Beto. I think it was the most expensive senate race in history. When a race becomes a focus to people/groups that are not even in the state/district, the fundraising, activism, media attention, etc. take over and blow things out of proportion. If there was little to no interest in the race outside of Texas, Cruz would have won easily.
