Texas has a few trends/phenomena that help Democrats: 1)the rural vote is declining in importance, 2)the Hispanic population continues to grow, 3)Texas has one of the lowest turnouts in the country (at least in 2012), 4)Texas Republicans do relatively well with Hispanics compared to the rest of the country. If a few of these things change, I could see Dems winning the state in the 2020s. Democrats also have some talented young politicians like the Castros and Rafael Anchia.
I don't see anything positive that California Republicans can point to.
