Its not 2028 either, but that didnt stop you from projecting outcomes which ignore things like changing electorial votes due to demographic changes..

Exactly. Texas is extremely liberal and I can see it swinging 20 points in 4 years.

It's about the patterns if illegals are allowed to vote. Don't place your bets on that happening. Especially now.

Ah, the rancid smell of the race card fueled by the lies of the left.

One can only hope and pray that this model is correct. I hope to God to never see another Republican in the White House and I will end my earthly journey comfortable knowing my children and grandkids never have to live under the tyranny of another Geo W Bush again or worry about boot scootin tobacco chewin rednecks taking over the country.

Hopefully we will have 2 or more parties like Canada and the UK do. Hopefully we will have a liberal party as opposed to a moderate right and far right party we have now.

It will go blue eventually. Texas and Georgia were the last southern states to go red and will be among the first to go back blue.

Not so sure about the illegals voting. Who would they vote for if they could?

It doesn't seem to be an issue or a concern where I live.

There is some evidence that some do. Who would they vote for? Well the pandering Democrats, that's who!
