Texas has been trending blue since george w moron was gov.

then cement head perry came in and started gerrymandering the districts before the national census came in. which is completely illegal.

but no one did a dame thing because, george w moron was prez then.

then it all quietly went away.

my district alone has been so completely fucked over it's a minor miracle that Lloyd Doggett is still able to be elected.

I have a couple of friend who worked as lobbyist during the time of perry's halfwit reign of stupidity, and they things they would tell me about repubican indifference to voting districts are terrifying.

the texas gov is beyond crooked. abbott, paxton and patrick are the facsist axis of evil. then mix in the railroad commissioner and you have a lock repuke majority.

also look in the billionaire funders Dunn and the Wilkens brothers they basically pull the strings.

as long as those bastards are still in play, texas will never ever be blue again.

there is so much crooked shit here it's beyond belief.
