Editorial: Will Texas turn Blue NOW?

Editorial


This week begins the primary season in what is the last GOP stronghold of the U.S. How long that will continue is an interesting question as there is a concerted effort to "Turn Texas Blue." If THAT ever happens, the GOP would be finished as you can see by looking at the electoral map with Texas added to California, New York, and other large "Blue States." Do consider this when watching the Texas primaries and general elections!
