Seen this in Virginia where the boom in Northern Virginia, NoVa, is turning the state Blue. GOP has been shut out of statewide races for past couple of election cycles.

Although there is polling data showing that Cruz beat RobertBeto thanks to the non-native TX voters.

Texas has only one person to blame for this. Rick Perry.

Once the left gets its tentacles around Texas, it has a permanent lock on the White House.

The GOP has done nothing at all to fire up Republican voters. Any and all losses are the direct result of their own inaction and cowardice in the face of the Socialist/CommunistdemocRAT enemy.

Interesting.

Bad economy favors challenge in the race and according to Bloomberg a great economy ALSO favors the challenger, at least as long as the challenger is a Liberal.

According to Lib Bloomberg all the good being enjoyed by the Hispanics in Texas (and elsewhere) will cause them to want to change leadership to something heretofore unknown because....because....?

I fail to see the logic in this, particularly when a booming economy should favor the incumbent. I guess people (even in Texas) want a bloated, corrupt, rotten celebrity money driven rule that will ultimately collapse under it’s own weight and contradictions.

It’s not the economy so much as the influx of transplanted Californians and New Yorkers. It’s like cancer. They infect the host and spread like the pernicious virus they are.

It’s happening everywhere.

I do not believe Texas will be even close in 2020, but I do worry about the next decade. It’s a matter of time with the massive influx of out of state migration for jobs and the mass movement from Latin America.

I would guess after Abbott, the governors races will start to get closer, though.

Texas or Florida and it’s socialism on steroids for America. I pray my home Texas will bring the voters from the rural to beat this back one more time.

That's because NoVa is a suburb of DC and thus its livelihood depends on Big Government spending.

The Texas economy is primarily driven by the energy sector, which is killing Gaia in they eyes of the Dems ...

They are wired to vote democrat. Wherever they go. It’s in their dna. It’s a major issue.

Democrats have been working to turn Texas blue:

Washington group investing millions to turn Texas blue (2013)

Turn Texas Blue: The Progressive Movement (2019)

Exactly. I am seeing it happen in AZ too. We are flooded with CA license plates and more likely than not AZ will go blue in 2020.

Virginia is "blue" because such a large percentage of its populace gets some kind of government check. Ditto Maryland...and double ditto DC.

Rule #1 of American politics...If you get a government check you're very probably voting Rat.

Funny, the economic boom was not created by any democrat but they cash in on it anyway. Like their hard work on the economy has earned them a win.
