When was texas purple

John Tower transformed the place from reconstruction and new deal Democrats to socially conservative GOP when the Dems embraces the Great Society

Closest to purple since then in a national import race is now

And it is because whites are becoming a minority

Despite Texas having the most conservative Latinos in my estimation in the nation

SOS....sons of Seguin

Ann Richards, a Democrat, was Governor of Texas from 1991 to 1995. It wasn’t that long ago that Democrats held state offices in Texas. At one time, a Texas Democrat was more conservative than a NY Republican...unfortunately, with all the new transplants coming in, things are changing and not for the better.
