I could understand the thinking if Texas was deep blue right now.
IOW....I could play that 'game' you are in Maryland. My single vote doesn't mean a thing in this cesspool.
But for any State 'in play'.....this is no time for taking any chances, my friend.
I don't think Texas is in play, but could be in 2020,2024?
We shall see.
Anyway, I voted for all Republican down ballot, which will probably have more impact on our day to day lives than the National elections do.
For the time being, we have a Governor who doesn't take kindly to Washington D.C. mandates.
If I were in Ohio, NC, Nevada, etc., I would have most likely had to rethink this vote. I'll admit that.
Frankly, I am grateful I had the opportunity that I didn't have to go there.
I can say that I feel that I voted for the most conservative person(s) running on the ballot in Texas.
