A lot can change in just four years. For former Florida Governor Jeb Bush a four-year timetable is enough for a significant shift for the Republican party. He tells Joe Hagan of New York magazine: “It’s a math question. Four years from now, Texas is going to be a so-called blue state. Imagine Texas as a blue state, how hard it would be to carry the presidency or gain control of the Senate.” Hagan starts the article for New York magazine with this idea that Texas’ rapidly changing demographic will unfavorably affect the Republican party. He writes: “Sitting down across from me, [Jeb] assumes his role as party Cassandra, warning of the day when the Republicans’ failure to tap an exploding Hispanic population will cripple its chances at reclaiming power—starting in Texas, the family seat of the House of Bush.” If this is a problem for the Republican party, Hagan believes Bush is just the solution: “a popular two-time governor of a Hispanic-heavy state, with a record of improving education for minorities, fluent in Spanish, married to a Latina, and father to two Hispanic sons, George P.

Good Lord... There’s texas then there’s austin.
Maybe if we just ignore the younger Bush, he’ll go away.
He means Texas will be Mexican. Illegals.
Wrong.
Massive demographic shifts have consequences. It’s imperative that we seal the border, and assimilate all of the remaining legal immigrants that we have as fast as possible.
Bush Says or for short B.S.
He means Texas will be Mexican. Illegals.
Stay out da Bushes. Shamnesty pimps and race panderers.
I believe Jeb will beat Texas to it.
I despise these people. Self-aggrandizing elitists.
RINO Jeb is Chris Christie light (though not by that many lbs).
STAY OUTTA DA BUSHES !

These idiots fail to take into account the number of Anglos and Asians that will leave the Democrats when faced with “blue” policies. The demographics may change but people will adjust their voting patterns accordingly. See The South, Jebbie? Just look at the racial makeup of the Demonrats today. They’ve run millions of Anglos out of their ****hole party, present company included. People get fed up with their crap and hypocrisy. Racial pandering and immigration is the only thing that’s keeping them in business as they move further left off the charts.
No more Bush family in office.
Well, if TX does turn blue, much of the blame will be on Jeb’s brother for his relentless open-borders policy that facilitated the invasion.

I’d like to believe you, but that’s not what’s happened in California.
Jeb should just hole up in Kennybunkport.
Um, no. Texas will not swing 12% in 4 years. This election will show that Texas is “redder” than ever.
I’ve long said that the ultimate demise of the Democratic Party and its welfare-state mentality is going to happen when Hispanics and blacks end up fighting with each other of their “aggrieved victim” status. You’ve already seen this in places like Miami, and in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina New Orleans has become a much more Mexican city.
