Trump to make 16th trip to Texas as fear grows the state is turning blue

President Trump arrives in Texas on Wednesday for his 16th visit as fresh polls warn he faces a battle to hold on to the state in November.

Campaign officials insist they are not treating the Lone Star State as a battleground. Yet, former Vice President Joe Biden leads 47%-45% in a Morning Consult poll published on Monday, following a string of surveys showing the two candidates level pegging or Trump lagging behind.

"The president loves coming to Texas to raise money and rile up the base," said Brendan Steinhauser, an Austin, Texas-based Republican strategist who managed the 2014 campaign of Sen. John Cornyn.

"He won Texas by 9 percentage points in 2016, but he is facing a closer and tougher race in 2020. I think his multiple visits to Texas indicate that he is taking Texas seriously and is investing time here so that he doesn't lose the state this time around."

I don't think that the RNC, or the GOP should become complacent and assume that TX will remain red.  The demographics have changed significantly.

Texas is not turning blue for this election.  Well at least not for the next 10-15 years. 

Outside of minorities, and Travis County, Trump should clean house.

Trump is coming to Midland today to raise funds and visit a drilling rig.  If I had the time I'd go.

I actually saw a road side stand nearby selling MAGA paraphenial, and there were 4 cars there BUYING...   I see Trump flags, signs  and red caps everywhere.  The base is that energized

Catfish asserted (and then backed up a little):
"Texas is not turning blue for this election.  Well at least not for the next 10-15 years."

Hmmmmm....
So... you (too) see "the inevitable" comin' down the pike, even if it remains 10-15 years away right now...?

Demographics may only be "numbers", but they are destiny.
And they certainly are changin' down Texas' way.

How do these numbers portent the future there?
