This theory has been debunked by several articles. Population demographics have little influence on elections because it does not account for the public perception of the candidates running.

Whatever gains are made for conservatives on immigration will inevitably be reversed... No party dominates forever. History and demographics are not on conservatives' side.

This last wave was more a death throes than a rebirth. Old arse electorate.

One of the most disgusting and bigoted views of liberals. Admitting that race polemics are their platform. Not surprised you use it.

Hispanic individuals seem to think and vote more critically than do black individuals. Unlike blacks, they are not for sure democrats regardless of which socialist is running at the top of the democrat ticket.

Mississippi will go Blue first. It has highest percentage of minority’s moving into the state in the US.

With a small population it shouldn’t take to many to change the voting block. It may have a large conservative base, but it doesn’t matter how strong the base is when they are outnumbered.

Everyone should see Michelle Malkins "The Rocky Mountain Heist" to see what can be done if the right people are put into positions of power, and Texas is their "Goal". See it if you can before it's too late..

I moved to West Texas from Alabama, and I was blown away by how racist Hispanics are against illegals. These are the same students who go to visit family across the border for dental work and medicines.

I haven't read the piece but it is definitely the dems goal to turn Texas. During the 2012 election I saw an "undercover" video taken at one of the dem register for the vote headquarters around Dallas. They want to import as many libs as possible to take over the state. Take over the metro locations and it's the same as other locations around the country.

The xenophobia is real in here. Newsflash: illegal immigrants don't vote.

It's the massive influx of people moving to population centers from other population centers around the country that will turn Texas purple within a decade.

But maybe it will take longer. You still have gerrymandering (maybe) and suppression (definitely) to lean on.

Texas has a massive amount of voter fraud in the inner cities and along the border. If that could be stopped, Texas will not turn blue for a very long time.

On any given year 20-40% of Hispanics vote R, so take away the voter fraud and Texas is ever more red than it currently is.

The illegals will be offset by everyone moving here from other states pissed that their taxes are too high everywhere else.


I’m more worried about those types turning is blue. They leave their shitty states and vote the same stupid way thinking “this time it will be different”. Ignorant.

Never.

All the Cali Liberals are mostly moving to Austin which has been blue.

Collin County is on pace to over throw Dallas County as the largest County in the Metroplex. I will let you guess how many conservatives are there.

Most suburbs are outpacing urban areas right now in growth. I know the trend is the opposite in other parts of the world but it's not here in DFW.

I am not sure what's going down in Houston but I've heard similar.

Oh btw, Tarrant County will never be blue .

I'd live in Ft.Worth if the right side of the Metroplex went blue (which it won't).
