Texas not Deep Red?...

...Just red, and maybe even not that.

Sean Trende who knows what the hell he's talking about, says the GOP has Texas trouble:

Could a Democrat really win in 2020? It seems a stretch, but remember that Mitt Romney won Texas by 16 points, Donald Trump won by nine, and Cruz won by just three. These are not good trendlines for the GOP. States do shift their partisanship quickly at times. George H.W. Bush won New Hampshire by 26 points in 1988 and New Jersey by 14; in 1996 New Jersey went for Clinton by 18 points, while New Hampshire was a 10-point Clinton win. That same year, West Virginia was a 15-point Clinton win; eight years later George W. Bush won it by 13

It's not impossible. We're inclined to think comparing Cruz to McCain and Romney doesn't make sense, but there's no denying the GOP margin of victory is narrowing.

So the GOP will have some work to do. Nothing a little campaigning won't fix, right. Right? RIGHT?

[Probably-Ed].

Meanwhile Liberal Texas journo Richard Parker likes what he see's:

As if to symbolize just how out of touch Trumpism is here and in much of America, a sole woman approached the makeshift memorial at the Walmart where 22 people died. She wore a bright red MAGA hat, and quickly over 30 people surrounded her chanting: “Take it off! Take it off!” She refused, yelling back that the president should be accepted here — only to be drowned out. Later, young people appeared, dressed in black, chanting: “white violence, White House.”

'Stop the nasty divisive rhetoric you White Supremacist!' seems unlikely to persuade white working class voters in the Rust Belt, no?

Pst, El Paso ain't GOP territory anyway, rigth Bobby Francis?
