MAGA Capturing Minnesota, Virginia, and New Jersey wouldn't have made up for the loss of Texas - and we were much closer to requiring such a scenario than you may have thought.
Unlike Seth, I mostly go on intuition and a few voter registration stats---which don't apply to Texas because the state does NOT register by party (I have urged every TX group I speak to to try to institute that). Anyway, I never, ever was concerned about TX, not through the Betamale gov race and not through his useless senate race. Ted Cruz's performance the first time (+3.6) was reflective of Cruz, not the GOP or certainly not Trump. But something in my spirit kept saying, "Texas is safer than safe. Move on."
I have friends in the hill country in Texas, somewhat removed from both San Antonio and Austin, who refused to believe their beloved ‘don’t mess with’ Texas could be in jeopardy. I kept giving them the facts on dem’s making progress in Dallas, Houston and Austin and they just didn’t believe it could change a predicted Trump win last year. They were correct! 🇺🇸🙏🏻
There are still libtards in Collin County. One of them was raving against Trump in our Republican city's senior center... saying that he needed to be assassinated as soon as possible, and that a bottom-up plan was needed to get rid of the Administration. The police were called, but all they did to the libtard is tell him to go home and cool off. Everyone at the event we were at didn't say a damn word when I challenged his sedition... he either has them cowed personally, or they're all ****ing libtards. The police told me to cool off and go home... all I did is stand up for the law against his sedition.
Do you feel Republicans can sustain these gains if Trump isn’t on the ticket? As per Rich Baris, and his Trump or Bust voters, my fear is that they will stay home if it’s Vance or whoever in 2028.
Everything is big in Texas…vive los hispánicos! Big Red MAGA win again.

Great analysis as always. Thanks Seth!
Thanks Mike!
You’re the only reliable source for so much. This is great news. Thank you for your faithfulness.
You bet and thank you!

A perfect storm for a huge win.

You should have choked him.
Always excellent information, Captain

Presidentials are more predictable. This fear is more accurately placed in midterms or specials.
