Texas is big, young, diverse and… still a Republican stronghold. But it’s not for nothing that Democrats keep their eye on this prize.
When Rep. Beto O’Rourke announced that he was jumping in the race to try to unseat Republican Sen. Ted Cruz it looked like more of a publicity stunt than a political strategy.
President Trump beat his Democratic opponent in Texas by almost 10 points and Cruz, ahem, sailed to victory for his first term 2012 by a sweet 16 points. This shouldn’t be much of a race.
And yet…
Tuesday’s primary election in Texas has shown that Democratic intensity is astronomical in the Lone Star State.
Democratic turnout for early voting went from 205,583 in the last midterm four years ago to 406,302 this time around. They blew right past Republicans even as the GOP managed to add about 50,000 new early votes. Lordy day.
