    If the turnout is like it was eight months ago, it might be a whole lot closer than people think.

    In 2016 for a Presidental election, 8.9 million voted. In 2012, it was 7.8
    In 2018 for a senate race, 8.3 million voted. Four years earlier, 4.6 million voted in a non-presidential year.

    Romney won Texas 4.5 to 3.3 million
    Trump won Texas 4.7 to 3.9 million

    The population went up a million from 2016 to 2018. If you assume another million from 2018 to 20, it's not far-fetched to think there might be some sweating going on.

    Throw in whatever the economy looks like at that point, and situations like El Paso, there is going to be more of a shift. How great is anyone's guess

    I got a really hinky feeling about this Trump visit to El Paso.

    A short time to plan security ... Feelings running high and a lot of people not wanting him there ... Cartels just over the border ... What could go wrong?

    The cartels love trump, Taliban, Al Queda, Muslim Brotherhood, North Korea... there’s not a terrorist group or criminal organization that isn’t better off today than they were in 2016.

    Trumpist whines about conspiracy theories dividing the country.

    The hypocrisy of the MAGA crowd will always be one of its most loathsome characteristics.

    God was good in the beginning, but on the sixth day, He went too far.

    If Russia were any good at this, they would manipulate things so that every state was decided by < 100 votes, ensuring maximum chaos.
