(10,156 posts)Eventually Texas will flip due to demographic shift and people moving here from other states. When Texas goes, so does the Republican party chances at the presidency for good.

(145,619 posts)I live in a suburb of Houston. We voted for Clinton in 2016 but lost all of the local races. In 2016, the county went for Beto and won the county wide state races where we had a candidate. The big cities have been blue for a while and now the suburbs are turning blue. This is not good for trump https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/white-suburbia-the-source-of-trumps-texas-troubles
Its the suburbs, Robin Armstrong, who represents Texas on the Republican National Committee, acknowledged in an interview with the Washington Examiner. Thats basically the womans vote. We need to make sure that were engaging females and letting them know that were addressing their values and concerns.
In 2018, Hispanic turnout in Texas rose by about 73 percent from 2014, according to a post-election review issued by Latino Victory Fund. But, as revealed by figures compiled by the Texas secretary of state, voter turnout overall increase a bit more, by about 77 percent. That would suggest the growing strength of Democrats in the state is not due to the rising Hispanic population.
Texas could be in play in 2020
