Gallup article/ map was surprising to me due to the high number of "competitive" states, especially Texas. 'Solid Republican' are mostly the least populated/ rural states versus 'solid Democratic' states that have the largest census. Naturally this doesn't bode well for Republicans. Any thoughts?

Beto O'Rouke did well against Ted Cruz last November. It is very encouraging to watch the Texas metamorphosis from Red to Blue.
