  1. I really tread lightly on Morning Consult. Either they’re extremely close or extremely off. Never in between

  3. I mean, good I guess. If there is ever a good sign that Texas can go blue this year, it would be this.

    So I guess the fallout over Mark Robinson is far reaching outside NC, right? Because if Trump features him at his rally this weekend, ooooh boy will shit hit the fan.

  5. Remember Ted Cruz left Texas during the winter outages. That should be a running ad.

  6. GOOD.

    TEXANS (and everyone else), make sure you’re registered to vote and EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO DO SO.

    Texans, our deadline is October 7th.

  7. Texans, don’t be fooled. Even if Allred was ahead by 5 or 10 points, you know scheming Republicans will lie cheat and steal to claw it back. It needs to be an absolute blowout.

    This is nothing to celebrate.

  8. > Allred one point ahead of Cruz, on 45 percent to his 44 percent among 2,716 likely voters.

  9. Its fine he can run for office in Cancun. They know him there.

  10. Let’s make sure this sticks … vote in November to get rid of Ted the Leech Texans!

  14. Red Ted losing in a red state to a blue senator named Allred would be poetic.

  15. Regardless of the outcome of this race, it is clearly a sign that Texas is ready to flip blue if time and effort was put into galvanizing the electorate.

  16. Texan here – Cruz is such a uniquely awful person/politician with no real constituency other than the R next to his name. Allred is hammering him with ads on the border and the whole “Cancun Ted” thing but I’m skeptical the Texas democrats have the infrastructure to pull this off. Fingers crossed.

  17. Please encourage all of your sane friends to vote.

  19. My understanding is Senators absolutely hate working with this guy. Like take all politics out of it, he’s apparently just an obnoxious co-worker. I wonder if there’s a contingent of even Republicans that are crossing their fingers right now lol 

  20. Ugggh don’t give me hope. I know it’s an uphill battle cause Texas and all its bullshit but fuck if we could get rid of Cruz we would have such a more functioning government.

  22. If anyone tries to tell you “yeah well they’ve been telling me Texas is going to go blue for like 20 years now”, consider that people were saying the same thing about Georgia.

    You know, Georgia, the state that hadn’t voted blue since the ’80s but was slowly inching that direction until 2020 when it delivered *two senators and sixteen electoral votes all at once*.

  24. If the Trump people are really demoralized, it might happen. But I need to see more than one poll to believe it.

  25. This is exactly why TX AG Ken Paxton is working so hard to keep certain Texans from being able to vote.

  27. Too much fuckery in Texas room know for sure. Need to overwhelm the fuckery by showing up. Ted Cruz doesn’t represent anyone in Texas and if he does is a dozen or so rich assholes

  28. I’m old enough to remember the sweet taste of hope turning to ash in my mouth back in 2018 when it was Beto. Cmon, Texas dems. We’re rooting for ya.

  29. They’re about to break the glass that says “GerryMander”

  33. Wow, such good news. Get off your butts and vote people, no matter what. Collin Allred must win over Ted “the Zodiac Killer” Cruz. An important step in turning Texas blue.

  36. Great. Allred needs to show Texas progressives that their votes matter. He just needs turnout.

  37. Remember that the only polls that matter are the ones that have ballot boxes at them. Register and check your registration at vote.gov Vote on Roevember 5th

  38. Remember that early on Election night it will appear that Allred is winning. Later in the evening Cruz will start catching up because most Republicans in Texas live in rural counties that take far longer to count their votes.

    This is what happened last time with Beto. I’m hopeful that Allred can unseat Cruz but we need to get every registered Texas Democrat to vote.

  41. If Cruz loses we’re all going out for ice cream

  42. Imagine if Texas turned blue AND Cruz gets the boot!
