I live in farm and ranch country, and none of the Democrat candidates have noticeable appeal out here. The AP really doesn’t get out of the city, do they?
I'm sure they mean Iowa and not Texas. Beto aside you're still a lost cause to them.
Don't poo-poo Iowa. Democrats flipped two congressional seats there last year and the farmers have seen crop prices fall throughout Trump's term. With the trade war they're in a free-fall. If people do vote their pocketbooks then Iowa is not a lock for Trump in 2020. Democrats could take it or they could blow it; even money on which they do.
They’re probably planning to buy your votes with more farm subsidies.
Based on my past experience with farmers, that might work.
