want my wtf 2020 moment for the election...It is texas turning blue this year. The Republicans are too busy trying to retain their 2016 states and ignoring their vulnerable red wall that has showed the really concerning of flipping this year. Sounds familiar?

As hilarious as that would be, I doubt it. I think Biden is winning overall, but Texas flipping is a pipe dream this year

This is as funny as the democrats claiming Wisconsin was a blue wall state in 2016. Look at the numbers and trends, if these phony 2016 polls prevail today, it actually puts Biden ahead in Texas.

A popular Texas Democrat on the ticket might have been able to do it this year, but without that, it's probably still 4-5 cycles away from happening once, and a few more before it's consistent.

How is turning Florida blue, a state that trended to the right in 2018 more feasible than Texas turning blue?

Polls don't account for all the vote suppression methods that Abbott and Texas' GOP are pulling to sway things in their favor. I get that higher turnout usually benefits Democrats, but if the ones who would vote Dem are blocked from voting, you'll see more of a Republican turnout

Yes, this, it'll probably scare the shit out of Republicans seeing how close Texas coming close turning blue might give them a wake up call or maybe not but perhaps will get lucky in 2024 or onwards seeing Texas finally becoming blue if more people keep voting and Republicans keep pushing shitty people to run for president

Florida was projected to go blue in 2018, trended to the right
Texas has been trending to the left for the past 3 election cycles, mathematically, this year will be the breaking point

Is this a joke question?

You know FL went blue for Obama twice, right? And they went blue for Clinton

Texas has been red since fucking 1980.

And California went red in 1988?

I don't know what point you're trying to make

But FL is a well-documented swing state and Texas is not

South FL is purely blue and north FL is red

and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania were solid blue states in 2016 lmao

Texas may turn blue this election but it's not going to become a normal thing for awhile. The Republican senator who is from the Bush era is leading by a decent margin.

same thing was said for California in 88 blah blah blah

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Florida has a lot of uneducated and older voters that appeal to Republicans, Texas is trending to the left with voters that tend to vote democrat, there's a huge difference

FL also has a lot of young voters that vote left

Which is what makes it a swing state

Texas hasn't voted blue in 40 years.
Yet the fact that it's even statistically possible should tell just exactly how great the Trump campaign is doing.

Depending on election forecasts? In 2020?

No wonder outlandish things like Texas going blue this election are being spouted out, that's just as silly as saying NY is going red.

Texas hasn't voted blue in 40 years.

California voted for Democratic presidential candidate Bill Clinton. His victory was the first time that the Golden State had voted for a Democratic presidential nominee since Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964, and Clinton's win in this state reflected its changed status from reliably Republican to decisively Democratic to the present. California maintains the largest number of electoral votes in the Electoral College.

Florida literally appeals to uneducated voters and old people, hence why it's GDP per capita is abysmal. Texas is growing in demographics that overwhelmingly favor democrats, Florida is growing in ways that appeal to republicans. That is the major difference between Texas finally voting blue and Florida voting blue to tease;

California voted for Nixon because he was from California, then for Ford because he was Reagan's Vice President, then for Reagan because he was from California, then for Bush once because he was Reagan's Vice President.

It's pretty easy to see why these thing happened... I guess we should expect southern states to vote for Biden because they voted for Bill Clinton.

Every state has enough non voting citizens to flip any state. Covid and opening up mail in voting and early voting is likely to lead to increased voter turn out.

gotem

EDIT: I'm not sure what the point of your subsequent posts are. Texas is definitely going to look like a swing state in 2020 and may even vote for Biden, but it's only because of how unpopular Trump is. Texas is trending blue but they aren't going to become a legit swing state for awhile still. Even if the Republican's 2024 nominee is just like Trump policy-wise, having a new face alone will be a big boost.
