in the other thread, I live in Texas (live in burb but work in metro) and I just do not see us going purple until 2028 or so realistically.

I like Castro and his enthusiasm but I just don't see it.

Bill White (Houston's immensely popular mayor) spent $30m, worked the valley door to door, worked rural areas door to door, and did everything else under the sun to win Governor and got destroyed by Rick Dumbass Perry in the election.

This is such a large state with so many redneck type rural areas that this state is a long ways from becoming purple much less blue.
