Well...I’ve lived here seventy years...but you go ahead and think what you want.

You might re-think what you think can’t happen. Complacency and over confidence is our side’s worst enemy.

Greg Abbott got 60% of the vote. Ted Cruz got more votes in the primary than all the other candidates combined. While anything can happen there are other places I am more worried about.....like Colorado!!!

It is a slow, steady process and they are gaining ground in states like Texas.

For the time being, Colorado is more blue than red but becoming more purple.

Texans in 2017 received a total of $26.3 billion in federal money from welfare programs like Medicaid, food stamps and cash grants to needy families.

I'm guessing its the large illegal population.

Which he definitely is!

What’s undeniable is that in parts of TX, there are as many fraudulent votes as legal ones.

You’re right. How can border towns, for instance, not be rampant with fraud?

I live in rural east Texas. I can tell you over 50% of out students are hispanic, about 40% white and 10% black. Due mostly to anchor babies, few illegals as far as I can see. But the parents are a different matter.
I’ve seen my street alone in rural Texas go from 80% white to 20% white in 15 years.
I’m not so sure though that these H would vote the same as those in South Texas (practically Mexico). My neighbors all are hard working honest and law abiding.
My biggest concern are white methheads you see sometimes walking down the rural roads.

That’s very telling and thanks for sharing. You know the score. We’re in a battle and people had better wake up to that fact.

There are many conservative Hispanics but not nearly enough.

Truth of the matter is Colorado would logically be getting redder because of it current state as one of the reddest states in the country!!!

I’m planning to vote for one democrat. Anyone care to guess which one?

San Antonio is 63% Mexican, 27% Anglo. I’d be surprised if a Republican had a chance there.
