Who even needs Texas.   Just keep working on that big beautiful blue wall and the eastern seaborde.  Texas is just if we want some gravy.

You should have told Obama and the poor democrat slobs that a long time ago to save them all the time and wasted $ millions to come up empty handed. Well the Texas economy thanks you, at least.

"Redder than ever"

Romney won by 1.26 million.
Trump won by 807 thousand.
Trump beat Biden by 637 thousand.

It was no shock that Cornyn won. It will be a surprise if Cruz can win his next round.

Redder than ever.
There is more to the color than just the presidential vote.
November was an epic failure by the dems in Texas, and elsewhere.

You fucking idiot.

There's been a red wave of death

a fucking plague spread by deranged amoral idiots like you and kid who lie and mislead to escape the horrible truth of a hideous Trump and the Repubs who further his madness.

November was the first good month we've had in this country since January as it brought hope that we will finally drive out that amoral traitrorous fascist motherfucker

and his amoral traitorous fascist motherfuckers enablers like you who care nothing of this country or of democracy.

You should be ashamed of yourself

Red I'd call you an epic failure but you're only a fucking piece of shit.

And we're finally flushing you away.

The rulings against campaign limits for individuals and corporations continues to be the single most effective means to get billionaires to spend their money.

Not empty handed if it makes the R's play some defense.

Yes, interesting.
It's too bad they spend it on consultants and strategists and media production and ad buys, more than grassroots/community organizations.  So big corporations and educated elites pocket the money instead of people in their neighborhoods.  But maybe the balance can/would/will shift at some point.

Bloomberg in particular got little return for his mega millions.
He would have been better off starting a Coronavirus Unemployment Fund in Florida for $100M and giving money to people in need.  Get good publicity, money flowing into communities, helping people.  Hell, pay people who are unregistered $10 for registering.  That should be legal I think ... (?)

Lol. The democrats benefited as much as anyone. Guess money can’t cover up  bad policies.

Way to miss the point, as ever.

‘Not true.’  Mr. Justice Sam Alito

Ehh... more like rich frat boy privilege.  White male or otherwise.

Ok.

In Texas the GOP undertook two big voter-registration drives. One, combined, big data, technology, and volunteers from the Texas Federation of Republican Women, College Republicans and county GOP organizations. It add 200,000 new Republicans to the voter rolls—at a cost of $7.90 each. The other, super PAC Engage Texas, used traditional methods, hiring nearly 200 workers to stand outside Department of Motor Vehicles offices and knock on doors. Before it was shut down by Covid-19, it registered over 100,000  republicans at a cost of $70.10 per.

That was what the Bloomberg camp says about FLA.
That they forced the Trumpeters to burn cash in FLA, bleeding them from being able to compete financially in the Midwest (for example the GOP abandoned MICH for months and only made a late play, and the results there weren't close)

TX is a long term play.
It used to be hardcore Red, and now is more pink.
It's nearly in play.  Never going to be an easy state for the Dems.
But slowly coming around.
And if national Repubs have to spend time and money ensuring it stays Red, that's less $$ and campaigning for elsewhere.  Dems did good investment for the future.  Beto changed the calculus in TX.

But Kam's right, Dems just need to solidify the Southeast coast, with SC as the IND-style holdout in the region.
Dems win the MidWest and SouthEast and the GOP has no chance.

VA went from a battleground state to solidly Blue.
NC has become a battleground state and is trending Blue, with its growing suburbs, increasingly hi-tech and educated workforce, more Asians and Blacks.
And of course any election where the Dems win FLA is near-death for the GOP.

AZ, GA and NC are big news for the Dems.
Still need/want to hold on to PA and WI.
But I think the Red wave in WI is cresting.
PA has a lot of interesting local issues -- fracking and an aging population among them.

[bodiddley]

Dems need to do more to revive Americans cities and provide affordable housing in them.  It's better for America in many ways, as population density creates more culture and more innovation, and more liberal policies.
The suburbanization of the US has led to a bland corporatized culture, environmental destruction, and less dynamism, more complacency aiding America's slippage.
Dems should prioritize and help their base, just as the GOP tosses money at farmers.

[facilitatorn]

Red’s frantic barking indicates where the right feels weakest. It’s shifted from Florida to the much bigger prize of Texas.
