Easy to fix. Change how electoral votes are allocated...instead of “winner takes all” statewide, allocate them by Majority vote in each Congressional district, with two votes allocated to the majority of the state-wide vote. ALL states should do this. Who knows, some blue states might even turn red.

We cannot allow Texas to become a swing state or, worse yet, a blue state.

We can't prevent it, the womb marches on.

Revisionist history? To the limited extent the GOPe threw their weight behind Cruz in the Presidential primary it happened only after all other candidates had dropped out (JEB!!). It was strictly a stop Trump at all costs decision. I am sure behind the scenes the GOPe choked on supporting Cruz. Don’t get me wrong, I think Cruz went too far in the primary, some of his actions crossed a line. He could have definitely been more unifying at the convention as well.

It’s not radical liberals, it’s the Mexicans and Central Americans and generation upon generation of anchor babies. Let’s be real here.

This demographic shift has been completely obvious for 20 years.

Tragically, except for our brief anti-Amnesty insurrection in 2005-2006, Conservatives have done absolutely nothing consequential to stop massive legal and illegal immigration.

Non-white eligible voters in Texas vote about 75% Democrat.

Texas demographics as of 2018....

Non-Hispanic White - 41.5%

Hispanic - 39.6%

Black - 12.8%

Asian - 5.2%

Not all Hispanics and Asians are eligible voting residents - yet.

Many Black Texans are not eligible to vote because of felony convictions.

But, it's only a question of time before Texas goes permanently Democrat.

Time to storm the house. Taxation without representation is a legitimate claim for US Citizens who pay Federal taxes. Representing illegals is unconstitutional. This anybody but citizens deal was what won trump the election.

Unending mass legal immigration has done and is still doing more than illegal immigration to turn states and the nation as a whole blue.

Of course illegal immigration is part of the problem. There is an unknown amount of illegal voting by illegal aliens. Illegal aliens give birth to anchor baby citizens who grow up to vote Democrat. Illegal aliens boost the populations of Democrat areas and result in rotten burrows for Democrat house members. And when illegal aliens get amnesty, then they too can legally vote Democrat.

But the amount of Democrat-importing legal immigration since 1965 is much larger than the illegal invasion. And legal immigrants can legally vote as soon as they are naturalized.

Wherever you see formerly red states or red districts becoming blue, you’ll see either that lots of liberals from other states have move in and brought their leftist voting habits with them, or you’ll see a large influx of legal and illegal immigrants who heavily favor Democrats, or more likely, you’ll see both at play.

Personally I’d like to see immigration halted entirely until we remove the interlopers and assimilate the good ones.

Demographic shifts will give the progressives an advantage that state GOP organizations refuse to do anything about or even acknowledge.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

State GOP organizations have been controlled by progressives for 30 years to bring about those demographic changes and prevent the citizens from stopping them.

Millions of TX Republicans rarely vote at all. They can’t see the mortal danger that they are in.

Beto winning Tarrant County one time by a razor thin margin does not make Tarrant County solid blue.

Nor does it make it solid Red. I'm not sure people understand how close Texas is to going Blue. Tarrant county is the last semi-red large population center. All the rest have been Blue for over a decade.

In a land where people who leave places like California to escape the misery created by democrats turn around and vote democrat in Texas, the Carolinas or other states there is no hope. You cannot save people from their own idiocy. I am 75 and have a terminal illness so it won’t matter much to me personally but I simply cannot grasp how so many Americans can wake up every morning and act like total morons and no one but a moron votes democrat after moving to another state to escape the results of voting democrat.

IDIOCRACY actually is a documentary.

The GOPe wants Texas to go blue because that will move the GOP to left, too. Then all the GOP has to be is 1% to the right of the Democrats to garner the not bat poop crazy vote.

RINOs like Romney and Bush are far more comfortable and in agreement with Democrats on policy than they are with current GOP base voters. They want us marginalized and/or out of the GOP. Easiest way to do that is turn the country blue.

It’s a GOP lock, for today and for dozens of generations.

Merely dozens? Where's your enthusiasm?

I believe that in 2016, Asians voted at a higher percentage than Hispanics. Indian Americans are the most affluent and Democratic of any non-black minority group.

That sounds about right.

And considering how California has become a one-party state with a Democrat supermajority, you’d think that even slow learners like Hannity and the GOPe could figure out the connection with legal immigration. But apparently not.
