We'll know which states are red, blue, and battleground after the election.  Anyone claiming to know for certain how a state will fare on election night is full of it.  

As Dance said, the urban/suburban ratio is what matters, way more so than whether a state is chock full of liberals or conservatives (it's just not that simple anymore).

No one ever said that.

If you Import 3rd world people,  you turn your place into the 3rd world.

George Bush spent half a billion dollars building them nicer squatter shacks. Excuse me... "colonias"

In the United States, a colonia is a type of unincorporated, low-income, slum area located along the Mexico–United States border region that emerged with the advent of informal housing.


No running water, no sewage system, no health care, minimal if any education- instead of deporting them, he gave them more money.

google the term if you want to see what we put up with.

Parts of Texas look like an occupied military zone. Absolutely heartbreaking and infuriating.

Look at these #s out of Denton and Collin from "Manny":

"Trump won Denton County, a Dallas suburb, 57%/37%. Republicans currently lead 64%/26% in mail-in ballots returns and in-person early voting with 28% of the 2016 vote total in 22% of the 2016 vote in."

"Trump won Collin County, a Dallas suburb, 56%/39%. Republicans currently lead 64%/25% in mail-in ballots returns and in-person early voting with 22% of the 2016 vote total in."

In Texas, per TargetSmart, GOPers have expanded their combined VBM/in-person early voting lead to eight points. This is entirely due to robust in-person EV among Republicans. Dems, who led strongly in the miniscule VBM count, are now being left by the wayside.

I knew Anne Richards personally from a cross connection with her Daughter & Granddaughters.  Of course I've followed & been involved in Texas Politics & Gun Rights from the 80s.

Your calling Anne Richards the Democrat as "The most conservative Governator we had in the past 30 years" is pants on head retarded - what drugs are you on? - why are you falling down drunk at 10am level stupid.

She actively tried every slimy trick to block Texans from having Concealed Carry.  (In fact, many people believe that cost her the election)...

You must be VERY "Lost in Tejas" to make a statement as patently crazy as that...  (hint - Austin ain't Texas!)

Valdez was SUCH a terrible Candidate!   It's like GOP strategists huddled and said, "WHO would be the worst possible Democrat we could get to run against our party?"   Even in the Blue Wave of 2018, she underperformed significantly compared to other "D" candidates.

Funny how all the "out of state experts" forget that in the primaries that Trump, basically unopposed, received more votes than the top 4 Ds (Biden, Bernie, Bloomberg, Warren) combined.

Cornholio (Cornyn) received more Senate primary votes than ALL the D Senate candidates, combined.

Even 100% is over-registered. Because the Census its compared to counts children and people who are legally barred from voting.
