Colin Allred will run for Texas Senate seat

11. Colin, Beto, Joaquin... our bench is deep!

Look, I am a yellow dog democrat, living in a blue suburban county in Texas. If you take the 35 most populous counties in Texas, representing 80% of the total population of Texas, Biden won the 2020 election here by three percentage points. You have to add 40 more counties, again sorted by population and adding 10% to the population tally, to show the convict sqeaking by.

Combine Trump's illegal deportations, denying due process, leading to no workers to harvest Texas crops with the Texas GOP's $1,000,000,000 giveaway to wealthy (mostly urban white) families, and rural Texans are primed to finally give the GOP up and down the ticket the heave ho.

Texas is a blue state, held captive by Karl Rove initiated gerrymandering and dirty electoral tricks. However, the tide has turned. The midterms will show the Democratic majority in Texas throwing off their chains and flipping the state blue. And when Texas flips, with our 40 electoral votes, it is game over for any Republican presidental candidate.

The audacity of hope from Mo City!
