....Counties that haven’t voted for a Democrat in decades turned out for Beto O’Rourke in his unsuccessful bid to unseat U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, and he picked up enough support in ruby red Republican counties to force Cruz into single-digit wins. ...

Very wise observation: Cruz got only 39 percent in Greater San Antonio. Trump got 41 percent in 2016.

Didn’t Abbott run at least 5 percentage points lower in 2018 than 2014?

They knocked out ALL the local R judges in Harris and Fort Bend counties. But this has been a long time coming. Many of us have been warning about this for a very long time. Sorry, but it starts in one’s own home. STOP sending children to socialist government schools, or the Republic is finished.

Dupage is still 67% Non-Hispanic White. White um...cucks seem to the main problem there.

I thought that was the same deal in Fort Bend that it was the upper middle class Houston suburbs causing the problem. So it’s actually the Kane County (large Hispanic increase) of Texas, though looking at the census quick facts in Fort Bend the change is much more pronounced, only third non-H White.

This “Hispanic” status in the census, silly. Shouldn’t (and I don’t know other term other than “Brown” which could also apply to people from India ect,) “Mestizo” just be a racial category?.
