Ask anyone who was present at Hillary Clinton’s presumptive victory celebration on November 8 and they will tell you of the stunned silence, broken only by sobs, that settled across the vast glass enclosure of the Javits Center in Manhattan. Upstairs, in the suite where the candidate was closeted with her family and associates, the trauma was even more intense. As one attendee later reported to me, it featured the “full range of human emotions: screams, shock, fainting. Bill moved immediately to blame.” The former president, I was told, singled out campaign manager Robby Mook: “ ‘We should have fired that asshole months ago!’ It was awful.”

If Trump does not rescind DACA and fails to encourage illegal aliens to remove themselves by strict enforcement, Texas will go blue.
Don’t they have voter ID in TX?
Voter ID will just identify those Hispanic citizens born in the US and properly entitled to vote.
NOT going to happen.
There were Tejanos and Anglos both at the Alamo and San Jacinto. It has always been so. They two races (and others) are so intermarried that this is statistical nonsense.
My grandson has hispanic blood.
The “race card” is invalid in Texas. And Texas will never be CA.
They do now.
Trump stopped the U.S. government disputing of Texas’ voter I.D. law.
Don’t know, but it won’t matter if we do not remove the maximum number of illegal aliens possible in the Trump administration.
Could happen if the politicians don’t get their act together this session, particularly if they don’t get rid of Strauss. Best thing they could do would be to cut off all state funding to Houston, Dallas, Austin, El Paso and the border cities. Voter fraud was rampant in many areas during this last election and Medicaid funding is taking its toll. Houston Independent School District is also now offering Arab immersion classes, as if we don’t have enough taxpayer money going down the drain for ESL education.
According to FAIRUS, illegals cost Texas taxpayers $10.83 BILLION in 2013 alone. (per article from recent FR post)
Exactly...that’s why TX won’t go blue.
Mexicans are not Tejanos.
Mexicans are moving in to retake Texas.
Certainly, they can — flood the State with illegal aliens and allow them to vote.
Actually, this the game plan for the nation.
I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I see this typical Texan cockiness. Tell that to people in Virginia, North Carolina, New Hampshire or Colorado. You're whistling past the graveyard. If the influx from south of the border doesn't turn you purple the influx from California will.
Yes there is voter ID in TX. However, once the children of illegal aliens reach voting age, it will become tough to win. Figure TX is 40 EV. The GOP needs to keep the Rust Belt red and pick up Maine, NH and MN and it’s still possible to win.
“If Trump does not rescind DACA and fails to encourage illegal aliens to remove themselves by strict enforcement, Texas will go blue.”
Yes, Texans had better take a good hard look at their counties that border the Rio Grande River two deep that are all RAT-run TODAY! Then they had better look at their three or four major cities, that are all RAT-run ( some Black RAT-run) and get a clue to the fact that that is how California has been taken over. For Conservative Texans to have some ill-founded notion that their state is impervious to being taken over by RATs, Black RATS and Illegal Hispanic wannabe RATs, is a mystery to me. They simply don’t see how quickly the scales can tip and how very permanent that tip over will be.

Excellent point. If Trump can get rid of the multi-language diversity nonsense and provide decent jobs for everyone, recently-arrived Hispanics will move more and more into the American middle class. And that’s Republican territory.
They don’t have enough bullets. They can forget that crap.
The last time they redrew district lines in Texas a lot of Republican districts were re-drawn to be 55% republican and 45% democratic... the democratic districts were high percentage democratic.. a lot of those districts are about to flip blue around san antonio, dallas, austin and Houston... the threat is real and the left is already establishing local papers in those markets to start organizing.
They will do it with votes, not bullets.
Can Democrats reconquer the Lone Star State?
Not on their best day in a million effing years!!
Well, we will not allow “illegal” votes. The current US AG has already backed away from the logjam on that and we made a couple of adjustments that will make it next to impossible for the ComDems to vote illegals. That is exactly what happened in CA. Probably 1/4 of votes there are by illegals. And the state does not intend to stop it.
