For years, Dallas County TX was a Republican county. Going back from 2004, it pretty much never voted for Democratic Presidents. It voted for Obama in 2008 an 2012.
Even more amazingly, it voted for Davis and Alameel this year. In a GOP wave year that saw big margins for the GOP candidates in those Texas races.
Kiss it goodbye, I'd say, which is indicative of a growing problem for that party. They need to hold onto suburbs to survive as a party.
Yes, and it's pretty obvious. To be honest I think by 2012 it was obvious the county was a blue stronghold. If I'm being honest I don't think anyone except you has even questioned if Dallas County might flip back. What's more relevant today is neighbouring Tarrant County. Tarrant might flip back in 2024, given how close 2020 was, but I think even it will be gone after that, though it'll remain semicompetitive for a while.
Honestly, this is like asking if one of those ancestrally Democratic Eastern KY counties that flipped in 2008 is lost for the Democrats. The answer is yes, regardless of how they might have voted before 2008.
