A sobering reminder to the GOP regarding Texas...

George F. Will has long been one of the most articulate spokesperson for conservative causes. However, since Romney and now Trump, Will has become a lonely (and maligned) voice of reason for the GOP.

Here are some excerpts form his recent "opinion" piece and the demographic data regarding TX speak for themselves. (A reminder 270 electoral votes are all thatare needed to become president.)

Will Texas become another brick in the Democrats’ blue wall?


Texas is not wide-open spaces filled with cattle and cotton fields. Actually, it is 84.7 percent urban, making it the 15th-most-urban state. It has four of the nation’s 11 largest cities — Houston, San Antonio, Dallas and Austin. Texas’s growth is in its cities, where Republicans are doing worst.

Dallas has gone from solidly Republican to solidly Democratic. A recent poll showed Harris County (Houston), which is about 69 percent minority, with a majority identifying as Democrats. The San Antonio metropolitan area is about three-quarters minority. Travis County (Austin, seat of the state government, the flagship state university and a burgeoning tech economy attracting young people) voted 60.1 percent for

Asian Americans, Texas’s fastest-growing minority by percentage, were about 3 percent of Texans in 2000 and about 4 percent in 2010. They are projected to be more than 8 percent in 2040.

The “blue wall” — the 18 states and the District of Columbia that have voted Democratic in at least six consecutive presidential elections — today has 242 electoral votes. Texas, which is not a brick in this wall, has 38 electoral votes. After the 2020 Census, it probably will have 40, perhaps 41. Were Texas to become another blue brick, the wall — even if the 2020 Census subtracted a few electoral votes from the current 18 states — would have more than the 270 votes needed to elect a president.

Since 1994, when it passed New York (which has now sunk below Florida to fourth place), Texas has been the nation’s second-most-populous state. [Texas} is the Republican Party’s only large “anchor state.” The Democratic Party has two — California and New York, with a combined 84 electoral votes. Or three, if you count Illinois (20 electoral votes), which in the past four presidential elections has voted Democratic by an average of slightly more than 16 points.

40% of the population in Texas are Hispanics. What the Trump supporter failed to realize, is that in the entire southwest of this country Republicans need Hispanic support to win their seats. Without them they lose. This is why not only will Trump be defeated by Hillary Clinton, but Republicans will also lose the Senate.
Latino conservatives: If Donald Trump is the nominee, we will not work to elect him

Trump is polling at an historic negative 80%. So again Republicans have chased off another 17% of the population, which is also the fastest growing segment of the United States today, in their all WHITE--(kick the rest out) platform--LOL
Poll: 8 in 10 Hispanics don’t like Trump

Texas could easily go blue this year, as is what is going to happen in Nevada, Colorado, and frankly it wouldn't surprise me in the least to see Arizona turn blue. Texas, Nevada, Arizona typically deep red states.

Yeah, murdering babies is something to just ignore! Stupid libtard bitches.

Terminating a pregnancy is not murdering a baby, so stop it.

It's not YOUR life, or your family, and it's certainly not your uterus. If you don't want an abortion, don't have one.

Anyone else's abortion, is NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS.

Yes it is! You can't make me "stop it", typical libtard. Don't want the baby don't have sex. What about the father of that baby? He has a say, the child is his.

Will Texas become another brick in the Democrats’ blue wall?

A sobering reminder to nat4900: Donald Trump is now President of the United States. Pennsylvania became a "red brick" in the Republican's wall because the Dumbocrats have become unhinged, radical marxists. Michigan became a "red brick" in the Republican's wall because the Dumbocrats have become unhinged, radical marxists. Wisconsin became a "red brick" in the Republican's wall because the Dumbocrats have become unhinged, radical marxists.

Oh....and Texas is still red!
