the latinx vote could be key in the general and might be something that we see signs of tonight in california and texas. did trump succeed in scaring them/us or will we see a surge?

im pretty much vote D all the way come general. not sure i have any other option besides R or libertarian. i was overwhelmed at how many options i had with local and state offices. i am definitely interested to see what happens in the senate, as a texan i need to see a democrat unseat cornyn. this race kind of mimics whats happening in the general. the likely outcome of tonight is a runoff between a "moderate" and a "liberal".

this might depend on the candidate. its going to be hard to get myself to push people to vote for bloomberg. i wouldnt be excited to do so for biden either. maybe for the senate race. because of trump i do feel the urgency to do what i can.

i think im getting over bloomberg, IF he is the choice somehow then i will vote for him over trump. lets just hope thats not the case.

ive noticed in most of the elections so far theres a pundit on cnn (i think) that seems to be calling the shots. he urged amy to come out and act positive before the iowa results and she did it and had that big bump in NH. really early on saturday he was demanding that the moderates drop out and unify. ill definitely be looking to see what he says tonight. im curious to see what the overall narrative is tonight.
