A Nonbinary Choice

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

69% : Mitt Romney won Texas in 2012, and Donald Trump won Texas in 2016 and in 2020 -- but Romney won with 57.2 percent of the vote, while Trump underperformed him by 5 points in 2016 and then underperformed himself, slightly, in 2020, declining from 52.2 percent of the vote to 52.0 percent of the vote.
48% : The Republican (or "Republican," Trump being a literal RINO) won in every case, but Texas voters are sending the GOP a message.
42% : really have their heads -- it makes a difference whether Harris' share of the vote goes up, too, or if Trump simply bleeds votes to the Libertarian Party or to Mitch Daniels or whomever it is my friend in Tarrant County is writing in.
33% : If Trump should win Texas by an even smaller margin in 2024, that also will be significant, though it will have no effect on the outcome of the election.
25% : A voter who goes from the GOP to the Libertarians is a loss of one vote, but a voter who goes from the GOP to the Democrats is, in effect, a two-vote loss: Minus one for Trump and plus one for Harris.
