This puts the chances for Texas secession in the dumpster.
The demographic trend is not our friend:
National numbers
white voters 1992: 87% of total
white voters 2012: 72%
Blacks vote dem > 95%
Hispanics 80%
Asians 70%
I did read somewhere within the past week that the projection is that TX will go blue within the next 4 to 6 years due to the influx of libs. And forget secesion(SP). Now one leaves the farm without permission and somebody ain’t granting it.
Helping keep mankind warm for 65 years.
Refugees from “blue” states might keep the Longhorn State “red” as long as they leave their politics behind.
Maybe it really is time to change electoral college.
The only way to keep Texas red is to shut down the border and run all the illegals out to other solid red states to dilute them. Or, send them packing south. Since the federales have no desire to enforce border security for obvious reasons (i.e. democratic voters), it is only a matter of time.
The time for electing a GOPer.. especially a conservative one .. is past. We fought the good fight, but we`re outnumbered by the takers.
Texas, like Colorado, Virginia and Florida before it, will indeed turn blue in time, barring a major influx of conservative arrivals from liberal states.
Like Rush says... you can`t beat Santa Claus. Amerika likes free stuff, and the dems are willing to engage in bidding wars in order to dole the goodies out to them.
In the wake of 9-11, there was a real chance to change our suicidal immigration practices. Unfortuanately we had open-border clown GW Bush as President at the time.
Well then, I look forward to hearing what Sen. Cruz has planned to stop this. I expect him to work hard to stop and then reverse the trend.
It easy to turn a state blue. They just have to have a 110% voter turn out.
By 2016, 2020 at the latest, Texas takes a hard swing left, courtesy of all of the illegals voting for free stuff. With a population over 50% mexican, and with the hispanic catholic crowd firmly in the back pocket of the democrats, Texas is royally screwed. Open borders and cheap labor are going to cost you dearly. Don’t believe me? Texas is just one step away from becoming another California.
In the aftermath of this painful election it’s easy to become disillusioned. The Dems and their media allies sense this and they’re putting out articles proclaiming the GOP is in disarray, the demographic change only benefits Democrats, and the Republicans have an uphill battle in years to come. Sadly, so many on our side are taking this information as gospel and feeling as if Armageddon is upon us. I’m not denying things are bleak but those people want us to feel this way and have us just surrender and roll over like helpless dogs. We have an uphill fight to save the country but it has to be done because something as great as what we’ve established in America can never be duplicated anywhere else. It’s been a week since the big loss. Time to stop feeling sorry for ourselves and now it’s time to get back to work.
In the future, will there be a one party system in this country?
Or will the libs split between money/elite and poor libs?
Texas is now, according the US Census Quick Facts:
Population 25,674,681
45% non-Hispanic white
38% Hispanic
12% Black
4% Asian
It's generally accepted that around 1/3 of the Hispanic population is in the US illegally. That's probably higher in Texas.
But still, a significant number of Texas Hispanics have to be voting for Republicans. I think this illustrtates that Republicans do well among the established Hispanic families that have been part of the US for several generations, and not so well among new arrivals.
There could be around 3,000,000 illegals in Texas. Amnesty would probably add a million or more of current illegals to Texas' eligible voter totals. Amnesty alone could turn Texas into a battlground state by legalizing the current illegals there.
Mexico is rapidly populating Texas. Within 10 years it will cease to be the state it is and petitions to withdraw from the union will be for the purpose of integrating with mexico. Soon following will Be California. then Arizona. The reconquista movement is winning through the birth rate. It is unstoppable and inevitable. When a nation will not defend its borders and sovereignty it ceases to be a nation.
Before Reagan granted amnesty to 3 million illegals he got 37% of the hispanic vote. After he got 30%. His amnesty has drawn another 20 million illegals and the morons in the republican party think with a new amnesty they will get theiri vote.. fools simply fools.

We ought to be concerned. What do you say, Rick Perry?
Texas was solid democrat in presidential votes up until 1952..
1952-1956 .. Republican
1960-1964-1968 .. Democrat
1972 .. Republican
1976 .. Democrat
1980 on .. Republican
Send “scouts” to red county blue states and offer incentives and perks to move to Texas.
America requires a moral electorate. We are no longer a moral nation. This is why America is doomed to fall.
