The Republican-Democratic margin in this state at max turnout is more than just 4 or 5 points. It's double digits.
As I stated in my previous post, the partisan margin in Texas at max turnout in a neutral national environment is probably around 12-15% in favor of the GOP.

O'Rourke isn't just turning out the Democratic base, he's earning the support of moderates.
Probably moderates who are leaning slightly to the left.

I actually think O'Rourke has done a good job flipping a decent chunk of older Conservatives and right-leaning moderates to his side. Many of them are tired of the shitshow that modern politics has become...and appreciate O'Rourke's sincerity vs Cruz and Trump's dishonesty.
Yes, thats a good point. Beto certainly has the edge when it comes to authenticity.
