When that happens maybe we can finally start getting shit done if Trump hasn't taken over as dictator by then.

Biden 51% — Trump 43%

Texas Is Bracing for a Blue Wave in 2020. Yes, Texas.
Why Republicans are getting very nervous about maintaining their stranglehold on the Lone Star State.

When Beto O’Rourke proclaimed, during the second round of Democratic presidential debates, that “there’s a new battleground state, Texas, and it has 38 Electoral College votes,” eyes rolled in unison across America. We’ve all heard that nonsense before! Pundits and progressives have been predicting that minority-white Texas would go blue for so long, it’s practically become a running joke. And while O’Rourke came tantalizingly close to knocking off Ted Cruz last fall, that race seemed to have all the hallmarks of a fluke—a Republican senator who even Republicans can’t stomach, running in a strong Democratic midterm cycle against a fresh-faced liberal who eschewed all forms of conventional political wisdom and ran a campaign so novel, so tireless, and so perfectly made for social media that it became a viral sensation. Post-Betomania, most people assumed that Texas Democrats would resume their role as American politics’ saddest underachievers, while Texas Republicans extended their quarter-century run of dominance as their national party’s ideological, financial, and electoral-vote stronghold.

1. Arizona and North Dakota may be, as well.

Now that the Dems are getting serious about protecting the rights of First Nations people to vote.

4. My sister moved to Arizona...

so there's at least one more blue vote there.

2. Can't happen soon enough...

[SCantiGOP]

3. Four states the GOP can't afford to lose

Texas, Ohio, Florida and Georgia.
Lose any of these, and a path to victory is almost impossible.
In addition to the electoral votes of these states, their loss would indicate that all of the current swing states would be reliably in our column.

5. We can do this...

[Quixote1818]

6. We will probably win back Iowa again this year

That will give us some wiggle room if something else doesn't fall our way.

10. especially Texas. there is no path to the white house without texas.

if hillary had won texas, she would have won the election (when you account for faithless electors), and that was with drumpf "winning" (we know it was stolen) almost ALL the other battlegrounds.

7. If Dems can flip Texas, Republicans are finished.

They are unlikely to win the Presidency anymore as long as Texas is blue. They may actually consider getting rid of the EC if that happened.

8. This is why Republicans keep stealing elections and judicial seats. They're like a retreating army

that leaves behind booby traps out of spite.

[SCantiGOP]

9. You're right

Usually, losing an election means losing political power.
This time, it could mean prison time for dozens, or maybe hundreds, of people who have conspired with the corrupt Administration.

11. Oh how nice

Though, trump and his trumpers are like those slimy eels. They are slippery, scary and dumb.

They are all dumb for working for him! Yet they have no qualms of abusing their power of office. I would imagine it be like a long draw out investigations after trump is gone and even then they would say we are punishing them for winning. Deplorables!

12. Wow. I didn't know Texas is open to be turning blue. That will be a mortal hit.

AZ is poised to be going blue as well. (Knock on wood) but Mark Kelly has outfunded Martha McSally and is up by 3 or 4 pts now.

13. I live in Texas and would be shocked

if it turned blue in my lifetime. The pigs still control the state here, so they'll use every dirty trick imaginable to cheat. For instance, every time I vote, the person checking the rolls tells me my voter info has the shortened form of my first name, while my license has the long version of my name. They then make a note of it. I'm pretty sure my vote never counts because of this. Bunch of jerks.
