All the dims have to do is flip Tejas and it is all over.
It would not surprise me to see the kenyan lose this year and run again in the future with a Hispanic VP on his ticket.

You, too, see what’s coming down the line.
Tejas -is- going to “flip”, although it will take 20-30 years.. This is inevitable and nothing can prevent what’s going to happen. (Aside — something -could- prevent it, and I discuss at the end of this reply.)
A few months’ back, right here on FreeRepublic, there was an article posted about the current birth rates in Texas. In some locations, if I recall correctly, something like 60-70% of the births were to Hispanics. I’m sure many of these were births to illegals, if not most of them.
And the “gringo” birth rate there is in decline.
Of course, the illegal parents can’t vote. They may or may not get amnesty in the future (my guess is that they will, within 8-10 years, but it doesn’t matter).
But the reality is that every baby born to these Hispanic women is an American citizen, regardless of whether the parents are illegal or not. Every one. Of course, they can’t vote today. But time will change that — just wait eighteen years.
And, historically, Hispanics vote for the democrats. If the Pubbies get 30% of the Hispanic vote, they think they’re doing great. But that means the ‘rats get 70%. And as the total number of Hispanics in Tejas increases by leaps and bounds vis-a-vis the gringos, the state is slowly, but inevitably, going to tip leftward. It won’t be like California, but rather more like New Mexico (which is already a “Euro-minority” state, the second in the nation). NM is now a “leans blue” state, and will turn “reliably blue” within ten years.
There -might- be a way to prevent Texas from tipping, by having the state change the way it assigns electoral votes now (instead of waiting for the inevitable future). That is, Texas should change from the “winner take all” paradigm to the assignment of electors by congressional district. This could “dilute” the increasing power of the ‘rats/Hispanics in the future and keep the state competitive. But Republicans can’t “look forward” far enough to understand the implications for the future from what is happening today.
They don’t call ‘em “the stupid party” fer nuthin’ !!
