You can chose not to believe me, but I did/do not know what the head-to-heads look like in Texas. I'll take your word for it, though.
But Texas has enough people who live in cities, enough POC and in particular latinx people who have pretty good reasons to be motivated against Trump, and has been on a medium term purplish trend that such that it needs to be part of the Dems stretch goals.
Which is part of why I want a Texan on the ticket. My grossly simplified Dem strategy is for the presidential nominee to focus on the Path to Victory states - Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania - with a Veep who can concentrate on the stretch goal states - Arizona, North Carolina, Georgia and Texas. We don't "need" to win any of those, but if we it simplifies things a lot.
