Wish that were true — TX ain’t no longer a sea of red.
TX is slowly turning purple with the influx of liberals from CA, NY and other states seeking employment here. And the large population of the ROP is not helping either.
And Oak Lawn here in Dallas is “The Castro on the Trinity.”
Wrong. We are still a sea of red. Even in deep south TX we got rid of the flaming criminal Dem and elected a Tea Party Repub. Our problem is that the courts have jerrymandered in a number of Dems.
