After all, no way a Democrat can ever bounce back from that sort of trend we saw last year, right?
Oh wait look at 2004. Kerry actually flat out LOST Cameron County, and underran Biden in both Hidalgo and Webb Counties. And those three make up the majority of the region's population since it's a mostly empty region like most of Texas.
It's almost like the region despite being traditionally strongly Dem might also be quite elastic and very prone to pro-incumbent swings or something.
The party is better off without them anyhow.
Please, kick hispanics of all stripes out of your party, I beg of you.
