You missed the most important word in my statement - ELIGIBLE voters.
The Census counts ALL persons present in Texas, including illegals, legal non-citizens, and minor children.
Hispanics make up 38.4% of Texas residents. But only 44% of Texas Hispanics are eligible to vote.
Non-Hispanic whites make up 44% of Texas residents (not 55% as you wrote above). However, almost 80% of Texas whites are eligible to vote.
In all Texas elections, eligible white voters turn out at a much higher rate than eligible Hispanic voters.
In the 2014 election, all ethnic groups in Texas turned out at a lower rate compared to 2012. But Hispanic turn out was the lowest of all. Compared to 2012, almost 50% fewer Hispanics turned out.
You also made another math error. You claim all state wide Texas GOP candidates won by at least 20% in 2014. Cruz won by 15.8%.
Re: “If 65% of white vote Republican, then the entire Midwest opens up for Republicans and Dems won’t know what hit them.”
The last presidential candidate to get 65% of the white vote was Founding Father James Monroe, in 1820.
Re: “You can give up, I will not.”
Glad to hear that.
What's your plan to stop massive LEGAL immigration?
Oh, I forgot, you support Ted Cruz, who wants to INCREASE massive LEGAL immigration.
HEY GENIUS - how about you quit TROLLING this site.
For starters, exactly WHAT OFFICE was Cruz running for in 2014? It certainly wasn’t US Senate - he won that 2 years earlier.
Perhaps it’s best that you stop TROLLING THIS SITE unless you have something CONSTRUCTIVE to say.
“The last presidential candidate to get 65% of the white vote was Founding Father James Monroe, in 1820”
So who’s your candidate? Harold Stassen perhaps?

And that fact is what the Democrat party has staked its very existence upon changing.

The NYTs exit polling has it at 67% in 1972, and 64% in 1984.
