I can't really believe that Trump has 9 points on Biden in TX but Cruz is only up 3. Who is going to vote Trump in the General and against Ted? (Note:I do think Trumps numbers are inflated accross the board.)

I think that since they got rid of straight ticket voting, the people who are just big on Trump might not vote down ballot. I don't know. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Yea maybe a few. But I feel limee most Trump supporters are all in. We know from 2020 that some voted AGAINST him, but for Rs down ballott.

Also, even the conservatives in Texas can't stand Cruz - he skates by every election on party loyalty and Ken Paxton's voter suppression

I think it's the opposite. There are a lot of Biden-leaning voters who are uncomfortable committing, so they're officially "undecided". Many won't vote, but those that do vote will vote Biden/Allred.

Unfortunately that probably means another year where Texas is surprisingly close but Trump and Cruz still win, but it would be a good sign for other states.

Yea, but I do think the closer a State like TX is the better it is from a political capital perspective when they win again. Plus we need every swing house member possible, and every state has some.

A local R candidate has more real estate on the front of his temporary HQ advertising names of other R candidates than anything else. I assume that’s so his rubes will know what the other names they need to pick are. The permanent D offices? Not a single name. Stark difference.
