That works in Houston, Austin, and the metro areas but think for a minute; what kind of values elected Como vs the values that elected Abbot. The last time a Democrat won a statewide office in Texas was 1994. Not one state office In 22 years. How has NY done over the last 20+ years? You think Texas values are the same as NY?
I'd like to not paint an entire state with a single brush.
Texas has some folks to NOT be proud of including the likes of Wendy Davis and Ann Richards among others. Texas has obviously been struggling to avoid going purple. I know here in Idaho we had a good influx of Texans moving here. I think Texas was #2 behind California moving into our state.
Hopefully, we are taking in the 'right' kind of folks so our state doesn't start to go purple.
Here in Idaho we have one bastion of liberalism in Sun Valley with all the celebs having homes there.
