  1. Did not think I would ever even sniff the scent of Blexas….

  3. From what I hear, Allred is running a traditional-Democratic, low-energy campaign aimed at political nerds. So imagine where this race might be if it were Beto from four years ago (minus the suicidal gun comment).

  5. Texas in play? Don’t. Just don’t. I’ve been through this every election since the 1980s. Every single election I hear excited Democrats holding out the tantalizing possibility of Texas going Democrat. It won’t. At best the Democrats can get close enough to force Republicans to spend resources there.

  7. Texas will vote to the left of Florida this year.

  8. Don’t you do this to me! First Florida, now Texas?! How dare you give me this much hope.

    My take is that the only way Texas goes blue is if we get a true wave election. It COULD happen this year, but it probably won’t. I’d love to see it, expecially if enough down ballot Republicans were handed the pink slip to make our politics down here a little more sane.

    I’m just saying it would take a lot. The Texas Democratic party has become feeble and inept over the last 48 years which was the last time Texas went blue. It could happen, but it would take a lot.

  10. It’s still 5 points behind, unfortunately.

    While Texas will be in play a few election cycles from now because Republicans keep shooting themselves in their regressive feet. At some point, the Rs are going to stay home and the Ds will pull it off.

    But not yet.

  11. Texas going blue is the longest of long shots. But the idea that Republicans now need to pay attention to Texas makes me very happy indeed.

  13. Even if we don’t go blue this go round, this is very important and telling for the next election and the next and so on. Blue Texas is coming. We are inevitable.

  14. I don’t expect her to win the state but the numbers will sure help Allred defeat Cruz.

  15. We are flying home just to vote this year (military family). The absentee ballot process is such a pain.

  16. Maybe we send Bill Clinton down to Texas to campaign? Get him in some suburban and rural areas. And we need to send someone down to the Rio Grande as well to campaign, not sure who.

  17. I know it’s early and things can change but please Texas vote Ted Cruz out!

  18. If she can get enough voters to the polls maybe we can lose cruz.

  19. If republicans ever lose Texas they’ll cry fowl for all eternity

  20. I just HAD to post on a cousin in-laws Ken Paxton share about his new investigation into illegal voting in TX. Apparently mass illegals can vote in state and federal elections…

    It’s a fear driven mind set.

    Weird.

    (R) TX politicians are scared, and they think more fear is their only play.

    Wait till I set up voter registration booths. You know don’t care who you vote for, just vote ideology.

    That is how democracy works.

  21. If Harris can keep closing the gap, Texas might actually be in play this election cycle.

  22. The article doesn’t mention that Allred is only down by two. The Democrats need to pour money into that race. It is probably their only real chance of a pickup, and with Montana likely to flip (I love Tester, but the state is just too red, but I’d love to be wrong), they need to flip Texas. Florida is a possibility, but unlikely.
