Texas in 2020

I have a feeling that if Trump becomes unpopular by 2020, this will be a surprise swing state.

I'd give it the Lean R category if nothing changes until then. Meaning Trump doesn't eff up the country.

Also I think the Republicans have reached their max in TX in the 2014 gubernatorial election.

We'll see in 2018. Abbott seems to be quite popular.

I know. Abbott is more loved in Texas than Kim Jong Un is in North Korea.

Why do people think Texas will turn blue or even be competitive by 2020? There is no indication of this at all. It won't even just "lean r". It will be R guys.

It's became less R in an election that featured a man that spouted xenophobia and religious intolerance in his campaign and Texas is a stereotypical state for such things. That's a bad sign.

The only good things about Texas for Dems are no doubt the growing Hispanic and White white collar base in the state.

The only thing that's making it harder is its the only state where Evangelical Christianity is GROWING not shrinking.
