I don’t know how likely a Blue Texas scenario is, but the consequences would be devastating. Without Texas, I don’t see how the GOP wins a Presidential election. California is lost, Pennsylvania teases but never comes through, and Colorado, Ohio, and Florida are what I’d call “slightly uphill” - winnable, but anything but a sure thing.
From his response Dewcrist was obviously asked this, he did say it out the blue. Very disingenuous.
I’ve been hearing rats fantasizing about this a lot lately.
In 2000 they claimed Texas would be a swing state by 2008.
