Every state should be in play because look at all the stupid court cases and laws that have national consequences that are coming out of Red States and also their covid mess which again has national consequences....

to be honest, dems need to just write texas off... it would be great if dems could get cali, texas, and ny.... that would end the gqp for good.... but it ain't happening... texas is red... florida is red... let it be... focus on the blue....
Why its been turning blue for 20 years

It’s basically going to come down to black turnout being high and

I hate to say it, but the Latinos on the border can’t simply be relied on to be Dem votes. Beto is going to have to hang out there and fight the Spanish misinformation campaign.
I’ve always said it and imma say it after white independents in the suburbs Latinos in the south are the most wishy washy voting bloc in this country. They aren't reliable. Latinos in Texas are very conservative and aren't reliable as latinos in NYC. And even then latinos up here are falling for right wing disinformation on social media making it worse. Democrats thought latinos would be like the black vote. A reliable solid voting bloc voting blue no matter who. That isnt the case. The real reason why Texas is turning into a swing state is the black vote, people from blue states moving to Texas. Elephant in the room is latino culture is very conservative.

If the energy grid fails again Beto could win the election.

The possible of that honestly depends on the weather because Texas did absolutely nothing resolve the root causes of the grid failure.

Abbott is a liability since he had done nothing to resolve the crime wave, did not give Harris County the money for Harvey, and the energy grid is still crap

Texas Latinos are moderate to moderately conservative. The issue was during the Trump administration he exploited the "close the door behind you" phenomenon, rise of Evangelism, assimilation, colorism, and Latinos being threaten by the movement to alternate forms of energy production.

Obama did well in the valley because he appealed to the working class and Trump did the same with white supremacy and/or populist rhetoric. At end to me it was the fear of losing their refinery or border patrol jobs is where the Dems did terrible. Also in the Valley the state and national DNC did nothing to clean up corruption. There are tons of pay for play stories in the Valley and a lesser extent San Antonio.

Beto gotta tour Texas again like he did last time. I commend him for actually standing by his morals on the gun stuff, he will have to find a way to frame it correctly to have a shot.
I think reason can win- no one truly wants repeats of Waco, etc. (if they even remember). He has to be consistent and explain, no I’m not taking your guns. We shouldn’t allow people to have the equivalent of WMDs from their fingertips. Beto or Matt if y’all want what you want better pay me! Doing all this important work for free! :mad:
