The Texans of Hispanic origin that I know are very conservative but some still vote for the democrat party out of habit and family unity issues (the older ones vote D, the younger ones do also out of respect). However, they are not as lock-step as blacks so it should be easier to appeal to them.

In Texas, if one can marginalize Austin and a few border counties, the GPO should be solid here.

Ah, but just wait for amnesty and instant citizenship for untold millions of Mexicans and others, who will (continue to) pour across our border, eager for whatever handout the government (taxpayers) will give them. We will never recover.

I am headed to Dallas Sunday for work!! Maybe I’ll turn Texan. We can make freedom’s last stand there.

The problems for the GOP in Texas are not immediate but are rising.

The Democratic ticket not only won Travis County but also won Harris, Dallas, Bexar and El Paso counties, the state's largest.

More troubling than the GOP losing the gains of Hispanic votes that they had won in 2000 and 2004 is that suburban areas are trending Democrat. Without the Hispanic vote, the African American vote and the urban and suburban voters, within ten years, Texas will be lost for the Republicans.
