I just don't understand why even the smartest pundits just dismiss Jones out of hand as an automatic loss. Has there been ANY polling on this race...???

Because she's only within 6 points of Striking Distance. In the margin of error is there plus the undecideds by 14%.

I mean if that's not a clear sign that Texas is going to be a blue State eventually then I don't know what is. But she really needs to get out there and do what Beto did in 2018. She can't afford to not do that
