I canβt imagine being r-slurred enough to think Beto has a chance in heck in Texas.

Beto came within 2 points of beating cruz and he ran on gun control.
The GOP is weaker in texas now than last time.
To claim he has no chance is the real r-sluration.

Couldn't win in 2018 in a Democratic wave year, but now he is definitely gonna win in 2022 a good year for Republicans (don't know about wave just yet but definitely a better than average year for Republicans). Also, he is running against Abbott who has always had higher approval waiting than Cruz and is liked more by moderates and independents than Cruz. Especially since 2020, Texas's Latinx population in the Rio Grande valley seems to be shifting redder recently.

I think you're underestimating how radical the texas gop has become. Moderates and indies might be a problem.
The only election data we have is a special election this week in which a dem ran 11 points ahead of the partisan lean.
The abortion stuff was big.

Yeah, abortion may hurt the Republicans nationally however in Texas especially South Texas which was until 2020 a Democratic bastion it may actually help the Republicans. The majority Mexican Rio Grande valley is very pro-life recently (after the Dobbs decisions was leaked but before it came out officially) Maya Flores a pro-life, Latinx, Republican won the special election despite it having a 15-point Democratic advatange. Also even the Democrats in the Rio Grande are pro-life Henry Cuellar is a Democratic congressman there and he is the leading pro-life democrat.
I think the Democrats embrace of pro-choice will help the nationally and may even be able to let them keep the Senate but specifically in Texas I believe it will help the Republicans by alienating latinx.

Sorry but your blue wave just isnβt happening in Texas.
But if you keep liking and thumbs upping these sweet burns on Reddit and Twitter itβs exactly the same as if he won!

It does not have to be a wave lmao. The GOP has been losing ground in Texas every cycle.
Texas is not the republican California - republicans are not winning texas by 30 points, more like 5 or 6 on a good night.
Beto lost to cruz by 2 points - if you think he has no chance you are simply politically illiterate.

I know youβre politically illiterate because you are serious posting on this r-slurred butt site.

Then maybe he shouldn't have done the gun control thing.
Also imagine "almost beating Cruz" is something to brag about.

Wow, pizza coming in with the hot take that βBeto has a chanceβ. This is the kind of political analysis arrdrama was made for. Anyone here have a line to CNN? We got to get this guy up to the studio to deliver more hard-hitting facts that simply do not care about our feelings.

It's not likely but it's not impossible. Like Pizza said, he came pretty darn close in his senate race and Biden has let record numbers of illegals stroll across the border. Add to that all the tech bros moving to Texas and all it takes is unmotivated conservatives not voting for Beto to pull ahead. Many conservatives weren't happy with how Abbott handled covid
