Yea a but you probably identify more the "part" that isn't Latino.
Your opinion doesn't change the fact some Latinos find comments made by elected and unelected Republicans offensive.
The bottom line is some Repubicans have made clear they'd like to eliminate Social Security and Medicare. Older Americans will also be impacted if the Republicans start to cut other social programs that impact them.
None of what you posted changes the fact that most of the large cities in Texas tend to have Democratic mayors and heavily Democratic city councils and they have large Latino populations.
Also the part of Texas with the highest concentration of Latinos is in the Rio Grande Valley. This also the most part of the state with that is heavily Democratic in its voting patterns.
Again when you combine Latinos living in large cities with those living in the Valley is only a matter of time before we see a Democratic Latino governor in Texas.
Thanks for sharing

Where do you see me advocating ANYBODY making racist remarks?
I simply said that some Latinos find some of the remarks made by Republican politicians offensive.
Where did you get this info? About 6 months ago we were told the republican party was nothing more than a bunch of old white males from the South and they could never win another national election. Then we had November.
Seems to me your prediction is more like wishful thinking on dems part.
What happens in these mid terms and what will happen in 2020 or 2024 will are two entirely different things.
First of all Texas is one state it does not consitute the entire South. The demographic makeup of Texas is significantly different than other states in the South in terms of the number of Latinos.
There isn't another state in the South were the majority people will be non-White by 2020.
It's not wishful thinking and I'm not the only one that thinks that way.
"The long term prospects are good for them [Democrats.] Because of the demographic shifts, the Democrats have a chance, within 20 years, to take over Texas. And once they takeover Texas, that's pretty much…the electoral ballgame. It's pretty much impossible to see how the Republicans cobble together an electoral college majority unless they have Texas."
What people seem to forget is that both in 2008 and last month, Texas' Latino population has shown it leans more Republican than the national average. Rick Perry received 38% of the Latino vote, which is better than McCain received in 2008. Democrats should pray that number does not continue to rise. Also take a district such as TX-23; it is majority Latino yet a Republican won it last month. The same occurred in TX-27. We could also look at nearby New Mexico, district 2, which is about half Latino, yet a Republican won by a healthy margin. I suspect there are other districts with similar results.

You point is well taken for the 2010 elections.
Let a Latino Democratic politician run for the governor's seat in Texas in the next 10 to 15 years and watch how that changes.
Now if all those people moving to the red states are liberals fleeing the cold northeast and midwest, the red states won't be red for too long.
Your logic is a bit flawed. The 2010 census measured the change in population from 2000 to 2010, the polulaiton sift has already occured and these states are still red. They will now also gain representation in Congress. Great news!
He may just have some money in the stock market. As quiet as it's kept the Dow Jones Industrial Average has been up over 40% since President Obama has been in office.
Again people don't realize it but by 2024 Texas is going to become a swing state. The cities are getting more Democratic and that is where a lot of the growth is taking place. Once Texas becomes a swing state the entire Republican national election strategy is going to be thrown in disarray.
GOP now holds both chambers in Texas...I imagine they might be toughening up their illegal alien laws to try and keep all those coming from Mexico out of Texas.
I guess what you're saying is eventually Texas will be overrun with illegals?
