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

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.

Texas will be lost for the Republicans.

Maybe the GOP should run some hispanic candidates?

Identity politics aren't necessarily a bad thing as long as the message is anti-socialist.

Death to socialism.
