    Yep. Hispanics are taking over.

    It will soon be just like California. All of the metro areas are blue and all the rural are red. There will come a time when the metro areas completely outnumber the little blue country counties with votes.

    Sadly, the white male vote is almost meaningless. The coveted votes these days are female and minority.

      i think texas will stay red, but i think it will be closer than ever before.

      Then how do you explain liberal sites like Yahoo? Go to their comment sections and it's 9 to 1 pro Trump.

        And no, our state is not turning blue. The media sure would like y'all to believe that though.
        Agreed....I fought against Trump till I was blue, but I'll vote for him over hillary any day.

        One thing I see is that information like this will enegize the democrat base because they think they are in striking distance. I hope it does the same on the republican side.

              Trump bragged about getting democrats to come over to vote for him. That's those people.

                    Collin is one of the most populated and fastest growing...but its mostly people with money.

                        What good economy?
                        It's one thing to not represent someone fully in certain political aspects. It's completely different for a person not to represent someone personally.

                        Texas has a good economy.

                          As evidenced by your classified ads.

                                Stats from last 5 presidential elections
                                2012 R-57%, D-41%
                                2008 R-55%, D-43%
                                2004 R-60%, D-38%
                                2000 R-60%, D-38%
                                1996 R-48%, D-43% (Ross Perot got 6%, this may be the closest representation of a starting point)
                                The Bush elections are anomalies, Texas being home state.

                                Current State legislature make up R-119, D-59
                                This would reflect a more current election; however, large population centers could make a difference in state wide election.
