While I'm not holding my breath, I've been waiting for Texas to turn for most of my life. This year is the best shot we've ever had.

I'm taking solace in the fact that this is drawing resources from other races and might contribute to some wins elsewhere. I am predicting a Cruz-over-Beto margin for Senate and a few more points than that in the Governor's race. Not exactly hot takes, I know, but I've been burned so many ties in the last twenty years.

I will absolutely be voting, though. It's also always important to remember that even in "blowout" national elections, there are still 4 blue voters here for every 5 red. That's a lot of people who don't deserve to have their home get worse and worse.
