    You're wasting your breath. Trump supporters can't be bothered with facts.

    If it were anyone but hrc I'd be content to let the fools get what they are wishing for but I just can't let it go.

    Trump getting the nod for the GOP, Texas would swing to the democrats for the first time in God knows how long.

    that is completely false and ludicrous

    on the 2nd amendment alone, Hillary is a dead on arrival

    Texas has very recently become an open carry state.

    She can take Austin, that's about it .

    Watch, Texas is also gerrymandered to shit, so Republicans control everything. But a general election with Trump and you will see everyone and their mamasita come out and vote. Texas has slowly been coming back around, and with white Latinos growing at a high rate in the state, a person who says they want to build a wall to keep half the people in Texas' relatives out isn't gonna fly. Rubio or Cruz, we wouldn't be having this conversation. Trump though. You may see a lot of white people support him in Texas but he will lose about 30 percent of the white people and all the minorities.

    you are correct that Texas will not swing to the Dems this election. but the demographics there are changing rapidly and it has been a well documented fact that Texas will be considered a swing state by 2024 and beyond.

    Texas won't be Texas anymore. Not so fast my friend. There are a lot of Mexican-Americans who have been in Texas for generations. I met quite a few people in San Antonio who looked white but had Latin last names. Those people are mostly middle class and I don't think they want a massive invasion of illegal Mexicans any more than anybody else.

    Trump summed it up nicely with Cruz the other night.

    Trump vs. Cruz on Hillary: "If I Can't Beat Her, You're Really Going To Get Killed"; "Swing For The Fences"
