TX-SEN 2020 Megathread: Early Voting

[Mr. Smith]

Off topic, but if you had told me before the election that O’Rourke would get 57% in Hays, 51% in Williamson, won Tarrant and Nueces, only lost Denton by 8% and Collin by 6%, AND got about 200k more votes than clinton, I would have predicted he would have narrowly won statewide.

His numbers were quite close to the benchmarks I made before the election. He did very well especially in the Austin and Dallas metros. But he also underperformed by more in some places such as South TX and the Houston area.

Yeah, pretty sad that Hillary won Kenedy while he didn't.

-_- There are literally 400 People there.

True. XD

Beto met with Schumer to discuss a potential run, and Joaquin Castro will consider it if Beto doesn't.

Problem here is, Beto touted much of his work with Cornyn as a means to paint Cruz as too extreme.

[Mr. Smith]

Hegar's got the lead by quite a bit.

[Mr. Smith]

We needed Ramirez, but that probably would've required Bernie to win.

[Mr. Smith]

What's a good site to follow Texas primary results?

Not good per se, but Politico lacks the paywall.

Hegar is slowly catching up, and I expect her to overtake West in Harris soon.

Would be surprised if West actually keeps his lead.

It really appears that Hegar can do this. She just needs a lot of help.

It's a bummer that she's no Beto on this. It'd be nice to have a dark-horse that draws in the money and frees up room for others.

[Mr. Smith]

At this rate, it looks like we'll have Trump-Hegar voters.
