Turn Texas Blue

#1 Post by Spock » Wed Nov 06, 2024 9:07 am

Oddly enough, I think Texas was maybe my personal favorite result of the night-both for Trump and Cruz.

Now, maybe the "Turn Texas Blue" crowd (represented here by Bob#'s) will stop being so cocky.

As of this posting, the margin in New York for Harris is narrower than Texas is for Trump.

Maybe turn "New York Red" can be a thing.

Oh, and another personal favorite from here in Minnesota is that Trump seems to have carried Blue Earth and Nicollet counties which is Walz's home base.

Dems spent $77 million to lose by almost 10%. They keep trying. I’m glad they diverted (wasted) so much resources supporting Allred and not where they could have made an impact to a race.

Zapata county in south Texas hasn’t voted Democrat for over 100 years. Obama won that county with 68%. Trump flipped it. I guess the brown people living there don’t like the brown people illegally coming into their country. Strange. Maybe someone can explain that.
