Inside Texas Politics | Democrat says Texas may not be a battleground, but it is an opportunity

“I’m not going to sit here and lie and say oh yes, we’re about to turn Texas blue. But I do think that it’s plausible," said Texas Democrat Ron Reynolds.

If Collin Allred were to win Tarrant, Fort Bend, Collin, Denton, Hays, and Williamson counties in a Senate race against Ted Cruz, it would significantly improve his chances of defeating Cruz:

1. Tarrant County: As a large, populous county that has recently trended more competitive, a win here would be a strong indicator of Allred's appeal to both urban and suburban voters.

2. Fort Bend County: Fort Bend is a diverse and growing county that has leaned Democratic in recent elections. Winning here would help Allred build a solid base in the Houston metropolitan area.

3. Collin and Denton Counties: These are traditionally Republican suburban counties, but they are becoming more competitive. Winning both would signal a significant shift in voter sentiment and suggest that Allred is attracting suburban voters who may be disillusioned with Cruz.

4. Hays and Williamson Counties: These fast-growing suburban counties near Austin have also been trending more Democratic. Victories here would solidify Allred's support in central Texas.

Combined Impact: Winning these counties would give Allred a substantial edge in key suburban and urban areas, which are critical for a Democratic candidate in Texas. However, it's important to note that Cruz would still likely perform well in rural areas and other Republican strongholds. For Allred to defeat Cruz, he would also need strong turnout in Democratic-leaning areas like Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio, while minimizing Cruz's margins in rural counties.

Overall, winning these key suburban and swing counties would put Allred in a strong position to challenge Cruz, but the race would likely still be competitive and depend on turnout, campaign strategy, and broader state and national trends.

"Speak truth to power... Country over party..."

A sound strategy is to never give Republican strategists like Matt Mackowiak what they want.
They’re always up to no good so, don’t ever play their game.
They’re always lying & cheating.
