During a speech in San Antonio, President Obama said something that will give Republicans nightmares. Obama told the crowd that someday Texas will be a battleground state.
Obama was talking about the flood of campaign ads drowning voters in swing states, when he said, Let me just say this, in the next four months, you know, you guys wont see them because youre not considered one of the battleground states, although thats going to be changing soon.
President Obama wasnt just dishing out red meat to the audience. Texas is the most reliable and largest Red State in the Republican column, but a rising Hispanic population along with the Republican Partys alienation of Latino voters on the immigration issue is opening the door for Democrats in the state.

In what year do you see Texas becoming competitive? I would say 2020.
