I wish to thank Paxton for his help. I know I'm beating the corruption drum, but it has to be part of the story. In Indiana I am fairly certain that is why Beau Bayh won, Diego Morales may have lost in the primary but he got away with a lot.

I love to see Texas voters actually have a shot at having a two-party state.  

One party rule—no matter which—sucks.

lol...they better get use to Democrats.  Texas ain't red anymore.  It's BBL land.  Also, try to guess Gina's age by just her picture.

@snarlcakes some of these blue state folks leaving for red states and bringing their politics with them ain't helping.  but trump is uniquely bad.  he set a course neither dems or pubs wanted

@bar-down we can circle back in 28. I'm down for a standing bet.  If Texas goes back all red (senate, Presidency, Gov) you win.  If they don't, I win.  Limited to just the elections there happen each cycle.  Now we just need remember it😳

Angry people vote.  A higher percentage of dems likely made it out to vote this year vs what is normal.  That combined with Paxton being complete trash is likely the reason for a purple Texas.

Both sides tend to have higher turnout in presidential elections.  Texas is more than likely going back to red.

It is a trap, no way Texas goes back to all red in 28 since the governor won't be up in 28. Smart move not to take it.

I said only for the elections that are happening each cycle.  28 would be just for the President and one Senate seat.  I would want some odds though.  For 30 straight years the GOP won all 4.  And if it's JusT BECausE of TruMp it should be a no brainer because Trump is gone 😉

@snarlcakes this new Gov is going to turn Texas into a sanctuary state, combine that with a Dem in ‘28 reopening the border and you have a similar formula that turned California.

Map gets real small for Republicans.
