If Texas does flip blue it would ugh be almost like a bookend to the Reagan era. Texas became a Republican state in 1980 and during the Republican Revolution and turns back Dem right as the Reagan coalition collapses
Thats the reason why I dont want Texas to flip as I want Reaganites to still be in charge of the GOP (obviously revamped for the 2020s though) and Texas flipping would mark the end of that too.
In many ways Trumps presidency was just as much of a rejection of Reagan than it was of Obama
Everthing from trade to Reagan pro immigration policies have been abandoned by Trump
I mean can you imagine a Trump era Republican saying something like this about immigration
