    Beto O'Rourke was the first Democrat for Senate to win Tarrant County, TX (Ft. Worth) since Lloyd Bentsen. No Democrat for President has won it since Johnson. Tarrant is a microcosm of suburban Texas's Trump revolt. Precinct returns for 2012, 2016, and 2018 below.

    O'Rourke tended to exceed Clinton's margins more in counties with higher levels of education (r^2 = .197) and income (r^2 = .085). Some of his strongest gains were in suburban counties outside Austin (Hays & Williamson) and Dallas (Denton & Collin).

    O'Rourke tended to outperform Clinton the least in counties with a large share of Hispanics, many of them in the Rio Grande valley. However, this may have been more because of Cruz than O'Rourke - in 2012 Cruz outperformed Romney the most in heavily Hispanic counties.

    A look at Democratic vote share in Texas since 2010. In the big 30 counties, a decisive move toward Ds over the last couple of cycles. In the rest of the state, Bill White was the high point, though O'Rourke claws back from D lows of 2014 and 2016.

    The Twitter feed is flooded right now with thousands of bots sending out the same video from the Cruz campaign. Guess buying fake Twitter supporters is the best Cruz can do to seem popular?

    Political realignment, Texas style: O'Rourke's county margins more closely mirrored those of Clinton 2016 (r^2 = .976) than Obama 2012 (r^2 = .926).
