Thanks for your view, from an actual Texas resident.
My views are simply what I read, since I am in Washington State.
I never said Texas is liberal, what I said was it is trending liberal, if ever so slightly. How close was the last governor’s race? It should’nt have been even that close, with that moronic liberal democrat candidate.
You’re welcome. Like all the races in Texas last year, it was still a blowout, 20 points (i.e., 60-40). Sure, it should be higher, but the first 12 points that the Democrats get is the black vote. From there, they only managed to get another 28% of the vote, pretty much split between Hispanics and Whites...so of the 70% of the Texas vote that was white, all but 18% voted Republican...hence the blowout.
I realized that the Dems tried to make a push here, thinking they could get Hispanics to vote as monolithically as blacks, but the Hispanics did not take the bait and nearly split down the middle.
If Hispanics continue to split their vote near-evenly, then the Dems do not stand a chance in Texas (or in any other state where Hispanics split their vote)...although the numbers will appear tighter than they really are.
