I've noticed that in Texas, the largest urban areas (and their associated counties) have been won by Democratic presidential candidates over the last three elections, but one exception stood out: Tarrant County, home to Fort Worth and Arlington. This county is the third most populous county in Texas, while its two major cities are the fifth and seventh largest cities in Texas, respectively. However, unlike Harris (Houston), Bexar (San Antonio), Travis (Austin), Dallas, and El Paso, Tarrant County has stuck with Republicans. This has me wondering:
-Why haven't the Democrats been able to flip this county (unlike the other counties mentioned above)?
-Are the Democrats currently on track to flipping this county within the next 10-20 years?
