Music to my ears - samintx - 09-13-2019
A pair of top Republicans acknowledged in a private meeting on Saturday that the party was battling serious vulnerabilities in the midterm elections, including what one described as widespread “hate” for President Trump, and raised the prospect that Senator Ted Cruz of Texas could lose his bid for re-election because he is not seen as “likable” enough. From NYT
Cruz is afraid TX will go Dem.

Better close more polling stations!

It's been widely reported TX may go Dem in 2020 for the general election. But that doesn't necessarily Cruz is threatened.
TX will remain TX however, so long as minority women voters remain at home.

All bets are off if the GOP manages to whip up a few race riots or even better (in their view) a race war before election day.

If it seems real, either Beto or Castro will be Biden's VP.

Didn't Cruz run in 2018?

Hillary's campaign thought they smelled blood in the Texas water at the high point of her campaign. Turned out to be a red herring while PA, MI and WI fell.

Yes this is the trap of Texas. It'll have to move bluer essentially organically and county-by-county over time, not with some one-and-done, large statewide push. The eventual nominee will be smart to stick to the states legitimately in play.
