Yes. I think this feels a little different, maybe lots.

I've lived in North Tx since 1969. Top 10 school disrrict in nation.

I've stayed off DU and cable all week. I and 7wo7rees live with and take care of my 86 year old mother. She went off rails this week.

I was on phone with dr's this am and in background, on tv, was press conference with head of DPS. I could see it was contentious, tv on mute. Off phone, roll back, play, and oh DEAR GOD!!!

With Beto against Grego, we stand a chance, barely. IMHO
Texas is one of very few states using worst voting machines. Texas adopted same new laws on voting that Georgia did. They can decide to overturn elections.

It is going to take a massive voter turnout. I'm not sure Texas is going to make it.

And P.S..... no one will ever convince me that Beto did not beat Cruz, ever. The margin was too damned close.
