What do you think is the biggest factor that could decide the Texas Senate race: Trump’s endorsement, Paxton’s baggage, Tallarico’s polling strength, or the national political environment?

trump was born rich…a multi millionaire by the time he was 8 years old. He never had to be smart. He lost more than anyone else in history because he is an egotist who robs people by not paying them and grifting on the unsuspecting. …he is just what the losing GOP needed.

Outstanding! Paxton, upon winning the primary will have the double edged sword of Trump’s endorsement and defending Trump yet not being an incumbent. Talarico has a real chance of winning in November.

James Talarico is an amazing individual! He is the embodiment of all that is good in America. Mr. Talarico is about you and your family! Texas will be a better place to live. Best of everything James, win or lose!

Bottom line… a vote for any Republican says you're good with all the corruption, gritting, and felony behavior that is bankrupting this country, starting wars, and allowing pedos to walk around free. Vote blue to save our country and the world!

Trump backed the wrong horse. No one wants Paxton. By choosing this hack Trump has helped Tallarico.

Because my model bias corrects the polls, I actually still have Paxton beating Talarico. (I actually had Talarico briefly ahead, but the poll with week helped Paxton a bit.) That said, Paxton has zero room for error. He’s up by less than 1%. I actually think Talarico wins in November.
A lot of naysayers compare this to O’Roarke and laugh at Dems for chasing the Texas “white whale” again. That comparison is b.s. O’Roarke had almost zero polls in which he led… throughout the entire cycle. He was down by an average of about 4-6%. It briefly got down to about 3%. That’s why Dems felt excited and thought they had a shot. But O’Roarke was never ahead and he was always expected to lose. The current situation, at least as of right now, is completely different. Maybe that’ll change. Maybe some old, traditional Republicans leaning to Talarico because they hate Paxton will return to Paxton eventually anyway… just because they can’t stomach Dems having Senate control. So, maybe this won’t last. But as it stands right now… this bears no resemblance to the O’Roarke-Cruz race. Talarico has a far better chance.

I recommend updating the map that you post. Switch Texas and Ohio to "tilt R," and switch Alaska to "toss up." I'd also switch NC and Maine to tilt D.
