I doubt it. Any conservative should win TX. That said, Trump isn't loved here. Most of his votes will come from fear of Hillary. I have no idea if there'll be a big anti-Trump vote for Hillary. Maybe if Trump can spend another week attacking his Mexican judge he can boost the Hispanic turnout against him.

This is what I just posted to HPilot:

I've driven all over Spring, Klein, Tomball, north and northwest Houston and haven't seen even one Trump or Hillary sign or vehicle sticker. This is a heavy Republican area. The only Presidential sticker in this area is the McMullin sticker on my truck rear window. There are signs for judges, sheriff, constable commissioners, st representatives, etc. But nothing on the federal level. You wouldn't know there's a Presidential election going on.

There are ads on tv here for both Hillary and Trump. The Trump ones are mostly NRA. Overall Hillary is running more ads, hers quote Trump and hardly mention Hill.

I got a voter guide in the mailbox last evening from the Texas Conservative Review. It's got about 8 glossy pages describing conservatives they endorse. There's not a mention of the Presidential race except on the next to last page where the sample ballot is printed. All the candidates on the ballots are listed, with the candidates they endorse highlighted in yellow. Trump and Kaine are highlighted so they're endorsing them but there's no mention of it anywhere but on the sample ballot.

I expect to vote for all the Republicans on the down ballot except for our county district attorney. She let the team that exposed Planned Parenthood be indicted. Charges now dismissed, but I'm not forgetting. She is gone, I hope. I don't care if a Democrat wins in her place. A lesson needs to be taught.
