There are just too many die in the wool Republican voters in Texas. A great many of them I suspect don't even watch or listen much to news, and definitely not a variety of news opinions. Fox News is about the extent. And even that only sporadically. All they know is they vote R, every time, no matter what. Just like their Pappy did and his Pappy before him.

Demographics and migration are happening here rapidly like Arizona, Georgia, and NC. It can be wishful thinking.
But Texas is gonna become democratic in the future. Whether it be tomorrow or 2022 or 2024.
