National Democrats to Start Opening Offices in Texas
National Democrats are beginning to open offices in Texas ahead of a presidential election that appears it could be closer than usual in the reliably red state.
The Democratic National Committee plans to open a headquarters Saturday in Houston that is expected to be run in conjunction with the campaign of presidential nominee Hillary Clinton. A Clinton spokesperson said more such offices will be opening in the coming weeks.
Democrats characterized the moves as another step in capitalizing on the race for the White House to help down-ballot candidates.
"We’re absolutely committed to electing Democrats up and down the ballot," DNC spokesman Walter Garcia said Monday, pointing to the Houston office and trip to Texas on Tuesday by Anne Holton, the wife of vice presidential nominee Tim Kaine. "And as we get closer to November, we’ll continue building capacity in all 50 states."

Come on Texas! 
Let's turn Texas blue! Now that Trump has exposed and "normalized" the xenophobia that lies at the heart of many of their policies, this it the time to strike. We may not succeed this cycle, but this presidential cycle could pull the ultimate flip closer by years if we play it right.
