Hispanics vote Democrat at about 70-75% (the other 20-25% aren't negligible, but we're talking broad trends) fairly consistency - George W. Bush did slightly better with them because he was more vocal about open borders and better at pandering to them than most Republicans.

If eligible hispanic voters turned out at the polls in the same numbers as non-hispanics in Texas, it would be a swing state. The fact that they don't means that it isn't and won't be in the foreseeable future.

The last message should have said “(the other 25-30% aren’t negligible...)” to be consistent with the 70-75% voting Democrat.
