This is worth worrying about but it is also worth noting that native Texans voted less for Cruz than non-native Texans.
This suggests that conservatives are actually moving to Texas.
I really believe we need to seriously start looking at how surplus Republican voters can go and vote in other states that are reliably blue.
Tiny states like Vermont could be easily flipped if a small portion of Texas voters voted in Vermont. We need to be publicly discussing how to turn Vermont Red.
Imagine Bernie Sanders gone and replaced with a conservative
There are enough extra Republican voters in states to flip the small states.
This would drive Democrats bonkers because they cannot complain about voting out of state. That would be “voter suppression.” Buying or renting summer homes in these locations should suffice. We need to take these threats back at the Dems if we are to excite our base and get going again for our cause.

Maybe, but you need to look at how many liberals are moving to Texas as well, and at what's happening to those Texas natives who are moving to the Democrats.
Transplants from Massachusetts vote for more conservative candidates in New Hampshire's GOP primaries than people who've lived their whole life in the state, but in the general election it looks like they have been outnumbered by Democrat transplants who join with natives who've moved to the Democrats.

Maybe publicly discuss how to keep Texas from going Blue.
sort of a reverse migration? The Dims have been doing this for a while now....with success. Certainly something to talk about.
