God, I hope so.

3. Two can play that game...

2. The Candidate Matters

The contrast between Biden & Drumpf was tremendous.

With the right candidate, perhaps the repubs would have fared better in the South. But the positive sign is that it is at the very least, competitive.

4. Karma, as Major US businesses relocated to the South, they brought northerners AND fostered

EDUCATED employees. We see another Northern invasion sweeping the south, and we did it all unnoticed

9. over the last 20 years Texas has made it a point to "steal" as many jobs/companies from CA

Eventually everything will change.

8. Why though?

They get beat just as bad in the popular vote.

10. If Texas goes deep purple/blue

Then they will be almost mathematically eliminated from winning the White House electoral vote-wise for the foreseeable future. Popular vote, also unlikely, at least presents a possibility.
