4. I would not be so quick to write Texas entirely off.

There are many great people (specifically Democrats) who are Texans. Ann Richards was a great great Democrat from there. Willie Nelson is a die hard Democrat too.

And remember this:

I wouldn't write the entire population of Texas, or Texas as a state, off because of what a few jerks want to do.

I would be more than happy to see Puerto Rico become a state though. That would be great.
