Dewhurst is the problem, if not a BIG part of it.

Glad to see your post.

I worry that it could be like Colo, which went from +5 Bush 2004 to +5 Obama 2012. A huge, fast swing.

Likely due to in-migration of illegals, and liberals.

Dem’s hate Texas. Out of work Dem’s move to Texas.

[Hoodat]

Texas has already turned blue with this guy as Lt. Gov. I am so eternally grateful that Ted Cruz smoked this guy in the US Senate race.

[montag813]

The only thing that can turn Texas blue is RINO bastards like David Dewhurst and Joe Straus remaining in power.

[nascarnation]

A lot of libs are leaving California because of high costs, and winding up in Az, Co, Tx, etc.

And being replaced in Ca by legal and illegal liberals.

Texas COULD turn blue?

It is almost a certainty considering the many out-of-state license plates that can be seen in Houston alone.

[SeekAndFind]

I’m willing to bet that the biggest cities in Texas are ALREADY blue...

Beware because eventually, the big cities tend to overwhelm the rest of the state ( See California and Colorado ).

[MeanWestTexan]

The only way Texas will turn blue is if RINOs like Do-Worst and Cornyn continue to play major roles in the Texas RNC.

Having useless liberals like those two in any position of power makes the base stay home.

[Nextrush]

Imagine if Cruz hadn’t beat Dewhurst in the primary last year.

RINO insider.

[RitaOK]

Texas must not trade its soul for gold in order to prove a point for “business friendly”, while being slammed by invasion of illegals on the border.

Soliciting business start ups in Left states is a precarious business.

Recalling as a side note, that goon who was connected on the outside, but to the Hillary campaign (and recently nabbed for illegal campaign activities) paid “workers” to hustle the Hispanic vote for Hillary against Obama in Texas, with an avalanche of materials sympathetic to the border crosser families here.

Dewhurst is worming around again. We hardly need him to inform us of the Blue threat.

[GeronL]

Stop voting for RINO’s... they are the complacent ones

[Maelstorm]

We would be seeing it already. We would have seen it clearly in 2012 but we didn’t. Its good to keep an eye out and never be complacent but right now its all blue smoke and mirrors. Texas isn’t getting less conservative and as for liberals Texas is the last place they want to relocate to. I think there is a greater likely hood to see some blue states to begin to fracture politically which we do see evidence of in Wisconsin and Michigan.

[Vigilanteman]

My sis likes Todd Staples a lot: very solid on illegal immigration and has already won a statewide election as a commissioner of agriculture, an industry known for being notoriously soft on illegal immigration.

If he can stand up to the cheap labor lobby, he can stand up to Democrats.

[Vigilanteman]

If Dewhurst simply changed parties, that type of behavior would be considered resume enhancement for a Democrat.

[deport]

It is almost a certainty considering the many out-of-state license plates that can be seen in Houston alone.

****************

The cities of Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio already vote blue along with the counties along the Rio Grande.

[VerySadAmerican]

And this is why obama wants amnesty for the Mexicans. Perry should declare an emergence and activate the national guard.

[VerySadAmerican]

Dan Patrick talked and talked on the radio like a strong Christian conservative. Then he got elected to the state senate. I’m not saying he didn’t vote like a strong Christian conservative after he got in office. But he jumped on the GOPe bandwagon and supported Dewhurst. Just the other day he was slamming Cruz.

[Reeses]

Tower cranes forewarn of Democrat infestations. When an area builds up and not out, Democrats are the inevitable result. You can look at any population density map and guess fairly accurately which areas vote socialist. Conservatives can manage population density by supporting building height restrictions at the local level among other things. That forces people to spread out and live like Americans which reduces demand for bigger government. People in rural areas rely on themselves. They don't see anything from the government clock punchers so they vote against more of them.
