Let's start in 2000. That year, former Texas Gov. George W. Bush absolutely annihilated Democrat Al Gore in Texas, winning 59.3% of the vote to Gore's 37.9%. Bush won by 1.3 million votes of about 6 million cast.
Bush crushed Democrat John Kerry in 2004, 61.1% to 38.2%. That time he won by nearly 1.7 million votes of some 7 million ballots cast.
But things began to change when Barack Obama ran for president. While the late Sen. John McCain defeated the Democrat in 2008, he got just 55.4% of the vote to Obama's 43.6%. And McCain won by fewer than 1 million votes of about 8 million ballots cast.
Utah Sen. Mitt Romney took the margin back above that million-vote mark, defeating Obama in Texas by more than 1.2 million votes of about 8 million ballots cast as he took the state by 57.1% to 41.3%.
Yet President Trump couldn't match those numbers in 2016. He won 52.1% to Democrat Hillary Clinton's 43.1%. And he won by slightly more than 800,000 votes of some 8.5 million cast.
Things got worse in 2020, when Trump got 52.1% of the vote to Joe Biden's 46.5%. While a win, his margin was just more than 600,000 votes — of nearly 11 million cast.
You read that right: 11 million. That's double the number of votes cast in the state in 1996.

Unlike FL, a lot of TX’s problems are home grown imo - right there in Austin. Then they graduate and move to Dallas or San Antonio.
FL has to combat relentless NY, NJ, PA, etc. refugees who - while happy to be here - still pull the wrong lever every November.
FL doesn’t have a marxist center though (other than FTL - just because of voter fraud). TX does for sure in Austin.
Exactly..Annnd they can become the ballot counters in 2024/....Be nice to us or we can switch it all to republicans...Hispanics will have the power and they know it..
They won’t at this point anyway.
But Hispanics will control the dems in a few years...Think not...Hispanics shot down the dems favored affirmative action measure for blacks in California...Dems didn’t go screaming racism against Hispanics..Wonder if blacks noticed????
The one consolation...The jews in Germany were disarmed..we aren’t.
Unless there’s a monumental realignment I can’t see it. Once they take Texas they change the voting laws and they’ll have it forever. If everyone in the Republican Party saw what they’ve been doing (flood the country with illegal aliens, immigrants from the poor countries who will bloc vote for Democrats) for the past 30 years, maybe there could’ve been a way to mitigate it.
For years, sunbelt Republican governors in places like GA, AZ, and TX essentially rolled out the welcome mat for Big Tech and suburban white collar types. Now that this group is sharply trending Dem, they’ve decided to leave California and New York and bring their politics to states like those.
New Hampshire on the presidential and federal level hasn’t been won by a Republican in 20 years due to “Mass” immigration as well.
Not yet we aren’t..Wonder how long that lasts..
If this theft isn’t overturned we will ever win another election.
We are in totally uncharted territory so I don't think anyone knows for sure. I can tell you however there are a a whole lot of Texas who are going to be done playing games if biden is sworn in.
Texas does not use Dominion machines.
The minute those instruments of evil are allowed in, the state will turn blue.
The people of Texas will never turn blue, but the ballot boxes and the ability to defraud an election is quite another thing altogether.
Yep... Even with Texas still red. The first thing they will do is eliminate the electoral college and that will be all she wrote. We will be a communist state and they will be in control from now on. There will be only one thing that will fix it, and if we are lucky we might find enough younger patriots to do it.
If Biden is inaugurated, all states will be blue till the war kills off all the radical left wing Ameritrash
There is no point of more elections in what was America any more than in Russia or Venezuela
When I heard Oracle was moving to Texas, I thought was too bad - there are a lot of Dem Oracle employees moving to Texas. And few of these US migrants fleeing bad conditions in their current states have no understanding that their voting for Dem candidates and policies caused those conditions.
According to Sidney Powell, VA and CO have never been blue. The Dominion cheat algorithm has been hard at work.
If Trump does not appoint a special counsel and audit the machines before he leaves office, it will never happen, and these machines will continue to flip more states blue unchallenged.
If we fail to get Trump back in, everywhere turns blue.
As it turns out, the reason states have been turning blue is NOT because of the # of liberals there, rather it’s because of the amount of FRAUD there.
Texas proved this by rejecting pushes even recently to start using Dominion systems.
HAD they done so, then Texas WOULD HAVE turned blue in 2020.
It would be nice if we have a Republican legislature, governor or attorney general that would handle fraud within the Texas borders.
Just like we are asking other governors and legislatures to do ...
If the Republicans don’t win Georgia next month, it will probably be 50 years and take a revolution for them to ever win the White House again...and they brought this on themselves.
That is not true of me or my neighbors-or anyone else I know-I’m Hispanic-so are about half my neighbors in this rural county-so I actually know how Texas-born and legal immigrant Hispanics vote-and it isn’t for any f’ing democrat-especially in rural areas, this is hard-core conservative territory-I did not see a single Biden campaign sign within 25-30 miles from here-it was in the nearest real “town”-7000 people-in the next county over, and 20 miles outside of SA-but out here, we still have banners on our gates next to our Texas and USA flags-that say stop the steal, Texans for Trump, never surrender etc-there are Black families living here, too-they aren’t democrats, either-they are country people, so not democrat voters...
The only democRATS you will find are all lily-white, affluent city transplants-living in the few little gated enclaves out here-they are snooty, patronizing-not part of our rural community, and since the election no one is giving any business to the ones who own a small company or a store-a few have already put their places up for sale, expressing dislike of their “ignorant, redneck” neighbors-we hope to make all of them broke enough and isolated enough to sell out and go back to a crowded, crime infested city-better yet, leave the state altogether-they are not wanted here...
