Trump's internal polling also shows him down in Texas

I would love to see the face of Dan Patrick if that were to happen. 😂
Yeah it can happen. Texas is slowly shifting. If this is the cycle it tips gop gonna be in shambles.
Spend what time? It's the quarantine. At this point it's a question of spending the money to open more field offices in the state, which can have major down ballot benefits even if Biden narrowly loses the state. It also forces Trump's team to waste time & money in defending a state they didn't think would be competitive. Win-Win.
The one thing I really like about this story is hopefully it stops the media from artificially propping up Trump to make the election actually look contentious nationally.
If the story going into November from MSM focuses on Texas now being a battleground state, it'll make the GOP pour a lion-share of it's resources and attention into Texas, crippling them nationwide.

It will eventually. Texas will probably become a swing state in the next decade or so.
If they're spending money on Texas they might as well concede
As an AZ resident, I feel like AZ is definitely more likely for that. I think Texas still has some time to go until it's fully converted, even if it did swing in this one election, which I doubt. I think there's a very good chance AZ goes blue this year and I think there's a good chance it only continues to get bluer.
Imagine having to tell the giant baby this.
I am worried about Trump's response to this kind of news, though. 'Cause he obviously isn't going to look at it and ask himself how to do better. He'll tell at his people to figure out how to cheat the system better.

I assume that will be over by the time the actual election cycle starts, and they'll go on the campaign trail.
California used to be a red state. Not saying Texas is going blue this year but nothing lasts forever.
Texas isn't majority white... it's gonna go blue eventually and honestly not thaaat far in the future
Depends how much he is down by. 1-2% is well within the range for fuckery that hands it to Trump.
Since 2004, the Democratic vote in Texas has grown by over a million while the Republican vote has remained stagnant. Trump didn't win many more votes than Bush despite Texas's insane population growth. With the rising Latino and urban vote, Texas going "blue" is a question of when not if.
People said the same thing about Orange County CA aka Reagan County. Republican defiantly and confidently said Democrats would never ever win OC, guess what happened? Democrats flipped every seat blue.
I'm assuming it is because Republicans in Texas might be fed up with Trump and refuse to vote for him, rather than a surge of Democrats that for some reason never bothered voting in Texas before.
But how are the Texas Senate polls looking? If Biden is in striking distance.....do Dems also have a shot at the Senate? I'm not expecting to unseat Republican Senator John Cornyn, but you can always hope.

Exactly, Hillary spent loads of time in Georgia only to lose Wisconsin, where she barely even visited.
Good.
We need a complete and total evisceration of bunker bitch, conservative ideology, hate, intolerance, bigotry and Republicans this November.

I remember when people were thinking Texas was in play for Clinton.
I'm not going to say recent polling isn't giving me a little bit of hope, just that it's hard to ignore the asshole squeaking by in 2016.

If Texas is with-in 3 points it's game over for the GOP.
Places like Florida and Arizona and Georgia won't be staying in their hands.
FYI, I read the reports yesterday the Trump campaign are spending a TON of money on Ohio, where he was overwhelming voted for in 2016. Ohio should not even be in consideration, but their team decided that it was actually in contention and they've been running ads like crazy over here.
That's a VERY good sign. So many of these states wouldn't otherwise ever be considered battleground states, but they need to waste time here because there's legit risk of him losing support. It's a VERY promising sign for November.

Biden would likely have no long term effect on Texas's voting population. However, Trump has probably ruined any attempts by Texas Republicans to add to their voter base, hence increasing the likelihood that Texas will go blue sooner than later.
It's going to happen, eventually.
I'm not confident that 2020 is the year, though. I hope Biden doesn't make the same mistakes that Clinton made. Don't spend too much time/money campaigning in a pipe dream state.

AZ will turn purple-blue sooner because there is less of a rural population there to vote GOP. Texas has all those metro areas, but also wide swaths of rural areas with GOP voters in a way that AZ doesn't.
