trump won texas by 9 in 2016
in 2018 cruz won by only 2.5 over beto in the midterm. the dems picked up 10 state legislature seats,2 state senate seats and 2 congressional seats.
given trumps unpopularity in texas and how close the polls are its very possible he loses

moonshine:

. There is a precedent in California which is now as blue as it gets despite being red at one time

Jersey was solid red for 6 consecutive elections. 1968-1988. Inclusive.
1992 clinton won narrowly. And jersey has went not backwards since.

Texas might be turning a slight tinge to purple. But it’s not going blue anytime soon.

Beto caught lightening in a bottle. The Dems will nominate someone without his appeal and Trump easily carries Texas.

What the left doesn’t realize. What the libs are attempting to do with Taxes by trying to turn it commie, they will lost 80 Electoral votes in the process. Pa, Oh, In, Mich, Wis IO and yes Minnesota.

Arizona has a better chance of going blue than Texas in 2020. Kyrsten Sinema became the first Democrat to win a Senate seat from Arizona in 30 years last year. She won Arizona here by 2.3%. I give Arizona about a 50% chance of going blue in 2020.

Trump will likely win Ohio again. But I very much doubt that Trump will win PA, MI and WI again. During the midterms last year, Democrats won all of the Senate and Governor races from PA, MI and WI.

Bigjohn · 2019-08-12T20:17:59.559Z

But that was the mid terms not the General. The party in power always sucks in the Mid Terms

That was not people switching from Dem party to GOP. That was people not like a dirtbag like Clinton and voters being to stupid to not see Trump as worst POTUS ever. Clinton had too much Wall Street baggage. If Dem party had elected Sanders Trump lies about draining the swap would of not worked. It hopefully going to be different in 2020 but probably not cause Dem still have too many Trump like morons voting in the party who still cling to Clinton 3rd way.

How does one turn taxes commie?

blueapplepaste · 2019-08-12T20:38:59.043Z

Don’t disagree. But I just don’t see a Dem being competitive statewide soon.

I think Beto was an outlier. He’s cool and hip and was running against Cruz who is just a turd. But Cornyn will easily win. Trump will win. I hope I’m wrong though.

Hillary during the 2016 campaign ended up neglecting MI and WI. Trump ended up winning PA, MI and WI during the 2016 election by less than one percentage point. During the midterms last year, Dem Senators Casey and Baldwin won their reelection bids by double digits while GOP Governor Walker lost his reelection bid. Unless there is a strong third-party candidate next year, Trump is very likely going to lose PA, MI and WI next year.

The left should definitely concentrate all their efforts on Texas 2020 and beyond. Their slogan could be “Fix America, turn Texas blue.” While the rest of the country goes red.

Never would happen. Trump is no Reagan, except for one thing.

You’ve been fake news’ed. The federal poverty line does not take into account cost of living. When you do that Cal and New york are the poorest.

It also doesn’t take into account population density in such states. High immigration like NJ is becoming increasingly over populated. Many people in NJ end up communicating over an hour or two one way to get to work. You also have to deal with that for weekend trips as well.

More of a hope than an article. Gee, let’s turn Texas into poverty ridden California.

Texas is poorer than California

Almost all the poorest states in America are red states

Wealth in America: Median household income in richest, poorest states

You’ve been fake news’ed. The federal poverty line does not take into account cost of living. When you do that Cal and New york are the poorest.

Dems poor understanding of stats and math leaves them open to such manipulation. Made worse by the poor schooling in their states.

Unfunded liabilities.

You can rest assured when Texas turns blue the antiquated property tax system will be modified…
