Ads in Texas use a candidate’s association with Trump as a negative. Never thought I’d see it.

If the question is whether I've seen a bunch of MJ Hegar ads lately, the answer is "yes."

interesting that this is completely focused on health care and covid.  trump won this district by 9 in '16, cruz won it by 1 in '18.

I will say I have never seen Cornyn ads ever until this election.  But every other commercial is for Heger.

that's interesting because hegar hasn't raised all that much money herself.  she raised like 14 million last quarter, which would normally be fine, but compared to like harrison raising 50 million or whatever it was, it's pretty bad.

I never donated to Heger because I never thought she had a chance of winning, I still don’t but it will be closer than I thought.

Don't worry, that dorkstore will be sweating through shirts on a skateboard at your local Whataburger for many years to come.

my expectation since forever has been that she'll run a couple of points behind biden.

Definitely seen some ads, but I suspect most people like myself were going to vote against Cornyn regardless of his opponent if they were going to vote him down at all.

her one and only job as a candidate is basically to try and reduce the number of voters that vote biden/cornyn from a maximum of maybe 5% down to as close to 0% as she can get it.

just had my first irl poll call from someone that wasn't a call center or something. lady called me and asked me about my voting potential, about NE gambling laws on the ballot, my thoughts on various NE gambling commercials (both pro and con), my political leanings, and then from WTF'ville my thoughts on Ted Cruz (giant lmao 1 out of 10). she apologized for having to read off in their entirety the (3) gambling things I voted on but no biggie. she also laughed with me about ted cruz but said she couldn't comment on any of the questions she asked.

Ted Cruz is known to be a dumbass in other parts of the country as well.

aren't states generally more conservative with presidential elections?

They are more republican across the board, actually.

On Netflix there's a series called Explained, they have several subseries, the one you should watch is "Whose Vote Counts: Explained", that specific episode(there are 3 about this election) lays out, in detail, why that is.  Very interesting.
