@PeterHamby even so, my point is not that there is no candidate effect for beto. perhaps he did a point, two, maybe three better. i can't run the counterfactual and, as i said, he's an above average candidate. but the core thing that's happened in texas is the president of the united states — PolitiTweet.org

I am surprised by the ferocity of the pushback here. Like, would Luke Skywalker be one of the all-time great heros if he had featured in a film where he faced off against routine criminals in the streets of Philly? It matters that it was Darth Vader and for control of the galaxy! — PolitiTweet.org
