Wow..POTUS showin' some attention to TX again (visiting)

Maybe it has (finally) dawned on Dems that to help TX go somewhat more blue/purple they need to show TX some attention in between elections and not just show up immediately before prez election time to the fill their election coffers and run off to the official swing states with that money?
Hopefully he keeps this up!

Texas had to swing to the center before it was worth paying attention.

Needed to feel the neglect, being out in the weeds, before she was ready to listen to reason.

There is no point in wasting energy on a lost cause.

Now, she ain't a lost cause no more.
