Is Texas within reach this year?

[RandySF]

There are three factors that lead me to believe it's possible.

1. Gary Johnson polling relatively well for a third-party candidate.
2. Extreme disdain among women and non-white voters for Trump.
3. Moderate Republicans possibly skipping the top of the ticket.


What do you think?

1. Not from Texas but I think in 2024 it will be

Just my guess.

Everything is in play with Trump in the game. Georgia And Kansas are both polling close which is insane.

2. Let's hope so. Although the most recent poll has Trump leading near double digits. Unlikely.

3. How is he doing in the rest of the country?

6. If Julian Castro is the VP pick, maybe

I doubt we'd get it but a close race there would be awesome.

7. change is slow

Hi,

Many parts of Texas reflect what is happening in the rest of the country. Several of the major cities are turning Purple, but change is slow. Dallas has had a out of the Closet Lesbian Sheriff for several years. You can find disdain for the Republicans in many of the Major city newspaper Op-ed pages, but change is still slow.

The majority of elected officials are still Republican and once you get out of the Big Cities, the countryside is almost solid Red. The AG & Lt. Gov attempted to push the anti-transgender issue when a local school district said they would install transgender bathrooms & the school district won the day.

Texas is not the only place with problems, I have witnessed out & out Racism in NYC by the Nyc police. I spent a summer in Boston & was shocked by the divide between Black, Hispanic, & White.

Democrats have much work to do, The Fight never ends.

8. too many people in Gohmert country.

And the national party is quite willing to come down here for donations, not so willing to comedown here and spend real money to make it a fight.

9. If it can't turn it BLUE ... let's at least go PURPLE.

10. Not yet

Looking at about 20 years before it will become competitive. It will get there though.

[Gothmog]

11. We are hoping to make Texas purple

[uponit7771]

12. YES YES and YES, get FW and the northern Houston burbs to go dem with gotv and at least the state

[ronnykmarshall]

13. With Castro on the ticket ...

I think it will happen.

14. I'll be voting in Texas for the first time.

My husband, too, so there are two more blue votes in Texas that weren't there in 2012. When we picked our residency state for fulltiming, I loved the idea of turning Texas blue!

15. I don't think so. It would be a blast, but not gonna happen. Nt
