First of all, the better, least liberal of the two candidates won the Houston mayor's race. So, Houston did well last night elevating the City Controller to mayor.
Texas with a large Hispanic population coming of age and large cities trending more Democrat with white liberals, will become a strong Blue State by 2020.
And while that trend will not help things in Austin, it will devastate the U.S. as it will be almost impossible for the Republicans to ever win the White House with, California, New York, Texas, Florida, Connecticut, Delaware, DC, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, NH, New Jersey, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, VT, Washington and Wisconsin all being strong Democratic States.
The above list of States represents more than 300 of the 270 Electoral Votes needed to win the White House.
No doubt about it.
