First, that election is a poor indicator of anything. Huge amounts of out-of-state money, and an incumbent who was not as popular as he should be. Setting that aside, limited to the city limits of those core cities? Yes, definitely Blue. But the metro areas (other than El Paso and maybe Austin) are Red.

Common sense in this thread.

Everyone nationally ignores the arse whooping Abbott handed Lupe. Granted she was a terrible candidate.

I’d love to see Abbott run for President after this term as governor is up. He appeals very well to moderates and independents.
