My thoughts on Texas about the numbers:
Although Beto is a sleaze, he went to every county in Texas when he ran against Cruz - 254 counties. He even went to Gregg County, where Longview is and that is where I was born and where I had my children. No one goes to Longview, never hear of Longview. Well, he went there. Then, I saw the huge numbers of Democrats voting in the primary and couldn't believe it - never happened before. Beto made a big dent in numbers by going to every county. He woke up the Democrats.
Spanish people:
The Spanish are big on family - they tend to be religious Catholics - I doubt many of them are for abortion. They are not voting illegally in Texas due to the way our voting system is set up.
I went to Montgomery County this past weekend. I have a townhouse there and a Mexican man, Juan, watches/checks my townhouse for me. He owns a construction company and we talked about he came to Texas at age 15 and became a citizen. There is no way this man or his wife is liberal. They are not Democrats.
Now, I do think because Democrats made such a showing at that primary and the following November election, we do stand to lose Republicans in our county and state government, and it is possible the state goes Democrat for president. I never thought I would think that. I hope it doesn't happen.
