Could Trump lose Texas in the General Election?

[rightwinger]

Here's an objective assessment......

Data from Gallup Daily tracking interviews in 2014 – which interviewed more than 177,000 U.S. adults – showed that Wyoming and Utah are the top two most Republican states again. Wyoming (Republican advantage: 35.5 percent) and Utah (33.1 percent) have topped the list every year since 2008.


The 10 most Republican states all hold advantages over the Democratic Party by more than 10 percent. But Texas is not among these “solid Republican” states nor the “leaning Republican” states (states where the party gap is between 5 and 10 percent). Instead Texas is among the 18 competitive states, with Republicans holding a 3.9 percent advantage over Democrats.

That small percent still means a more than 1 million voter-advantage for Texas’ Republicans. Still, with the state’s changing demographics, analysts expect that gap to dwindle even further. However it could be at least a decade before Texas realistically has a shot of becoming a purple state.

Texas is second on electoral votes (38) to California's 55......Without Texas (as I've often stated) republicans will NOT see the inside of the White House until another Eisenhower comes along.

The next Republican President hasn't been born yet

Losing Texas would assure that
So will Florida

I think Trump would win win Texas, but it would be closer than many expect.

Trump is capable of blowing Texas

Hillary would do well making him compete for it

Trump is winning the white base in those states not the diverse population

How much of the Hispanic population of Texas will Trump take? How will he do with the women's vote?
For most Republicans, Texas is a cakewalk
Not so sure with Yankee Trump

Gallup has Trump's UN-favorable rating at a whopping 60%........Hillary Clinton would have to piss of a LOT more people to reach that level of dissatisfaction.

Hillary is basically neutral

Republicans could have beaten her with the right candidate

Trump will put the Republicans back a generation

Keep in mind that Texas is 40% Hispanic

Poll: Trump’s negatives among Hispanics rise; worst in GOP field

Today, 8 in 10 Hispanic voters have an unfavorable view of Trump. That includes more than 7 in 10 who have a “very unfavorable” impression of him, which is more than double the percentage of any other major candidate.

The Post-Univision survey tested those four GOP candidates against Clinton and against Sanders. While all trail badly among Hispanics at this point, Trump does the worst — losing the Hispanic vote to Clinton by 73 to 16 percent. That 57-point gap is little changed from a 54-point deficit recorded last June, but is significantly wider than the 44-point margin by which former Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney lost Hispanics four years ago and bigger than in any presidential exit poll since the 1970s.

How does the millions of new voters (that will only vote Trump) fit into those figures, or do they

No...you don't have millions of new voters

You have the same old voters who hate blacks, hate Mexicans and are afraid of Muslims
