Back in June, I wrote “Biden and Sanders Could Take Different Paths to Get to the Same Place.” In that case, I was observing that both Biden and Sanders were beating Trump in Michigan by an identical 53-41 margin, according to a Glengariff Group public opinion survey that had just been released. 

Here we are two months later and we’re seeing something really similar in Texas. 

I think most people will take a win any way they can get one, but perhaps progressives would prefer Sanders to Biden if they’re both equally likely to win. To understand if they’re actually equally likely to win, we’d have to have more granular analysis of where they’re pulling their support, because I doubt it’s all from the same voters. I suspect Biden is doing better with older voters and probably also among affluent white collar professionals. Both have their own draw with white working class folks, although I don’t think they get the same people there either. Biden definitely does better with the black population, and Sanders is probably stronger in college towns, although I doubt they will diverge there in the general election. Sanders definitely has more pull with the youth vote.

1. Add Beto as VP

That's how you'd win this state.

2. Head-turning numbers - and likely to get even worse for Cheeto.

Of course though, Abbott and his boys are determined to steal next year's Texas vote no matter what.

They stole it from O'Rourke last year, after all - and got away with it.

3. The writing is on the wall. Nominate Bernie. Everyone else drop out.
