    Default once solidly Republican state of Texas could become a ticking time bomb for Trump's

    GOP

    As the Tribune noted, almost half of Texas’ Hispanic population is concentrated in the state’s five largest counties, and Hispanic voters in Texas “are registering and voting at significantly higher rates than their population is growing,” according to a Houston Chronicle analysis.

    The current rate of population growth among non-white Texas residents is a positive development for Democrats


    Ford O’Connell, a veteran GOP campaign strategist and adjunct professor at George Washington University‘s Graduate School of Political Management, told INSIDER that while the increase in the state’s Latino population is an important demographic change, Texas’ current leftward shift can be attributed more to white suburbanites breaking with President Donald Trump‘s Republican party.

    “The narrative that Hispanics will turn Texas blue may eventually happen, but that’s not moving as fast as the fact that college-educated whites are telling us they don’t like Donald Trump,” O’Connell said.

    “are registering and voting at significantly higher rates than their population is growing,”
    interesting comment........so are you saying that many of the people registering are not Latino citizens of Texas.......

    Well if Trump loses Texas that pretty much does in reelection hopes.

    38 electoral votes.

    Here's what's really bad for Republicans:

    "The 2020 presidential election is projected to have record voter turnout"

    That never usually ends well for Republicans, Trump or no Trump.

    The last time a record election turnout happened Obama was voted in.
