The 7th congressional district used to be solid red, but redistricting and immigration from liberal states has turned it blue, and it may never go Republican again. Culberson bears a lot of responsibility for running a crappy campaign, dissing Trump, and voting for the omnibus spending bill last year, but there is a permanent shift too. Unfortunately, Harris County went solid blue, with no county wide or judicial positions in Republican hands. Lizzy Fletcher is a gun-grabbing liberal, and we're probably stuck with her for life.

While I dont talk politics much, I am afraid you may be right for those major cities and their counties. I noticed Austin, DFW/FW, Houston and I believe even SA were all blue for the presidential election. Hell even Fort Bend County was blue in the midterms. First time in a long time that has happened. Who knows what the future holds. By the way Id exit Harris County ASAP if possible

Fact is Culberson is/was a TERRIBLE candidate. He needed to go. If his backbone wasn't made out of silly putty, he may be here today.
Today starts day 1 of primaries for 2020, lets look for a true conservative with a backbone to replace Lizzy!

100% agree! There are plenty of states that share their beliefs and are run by them, they could get all they want and be surrounded by their peers but they want to come leach of what we built and suck the life out of our Texas economy. Makes no sense why they dont all just settle in CA,NY,CO,WA and let us have our great state!

Everyone wants to blame liberals moving into the state, but I think you are overlooking the Millennials. They are now the largest voting group in Texas and the country. They are overwhelmingly liberal. One report I heard was 75% of Millennials are liberal. Nearly every Millennial I know is liberal - including kids from very conservative Texas families.
I am also inclined to think many of our new citizens from California are conservative that finally gave up on their state. Most people I've met from CA are solid conservative.

The sad reality is that if Texas ever turns anything other Red then the country is done in my opinion. Texas is the lead and most solid anchor the U.S. has as far as conservative values. If Texas does not stay red it will be bad over all. There is more at stake than just Texas unfortunately. My .02Last edited by Head Hunter; 11-07-2018, 08:48 AM.

Culberson was pretty much a democrat anyway. He made too many conservatives mad, and they decided not to vote for him. He should have never made it out of the primaries, but too many people don't show up in the spring. Then they start asking who they should vote for the day before the general election........
Meanwhile, democrats are gonna vote straight ticket no matter who is running, or what they have done.

Spent some time with Culberson in July......never got a great feel for him. I had posted a pic with him back then but can't find it now.[emoji848]
