Bernie leading in Texas now by 2 points.

That's fascinating! There have only been a handful of polls I've seen conducted over voters here in Texas, but most of them have shown Sanders in this same territory of support, at around 25%. However, Biden has traditionally fared better than in this new poll by the Texas Tribune. It would appear that the Biden collapse has begun to reach my home state.

Also notice though: Bloomberg at 10% support in Texas. That tells you something about where the increasingly disaffected Biden supporters are going.

I THINK Bernie Sanders will probably get the most votes here in my particular community...but that would mean getting like 15, 20, or 25 votes.

And this can kill it for the "moderates" like Biden, Klobuchar, and Bloomberg, as they will be stealing each other's votes, keeping each number's down, all while Sanders has little opposition on his side now since Warren has slid down, Yang dropping out, Steyer polling above 3% only in the next 2 states and Gabbard polling way too low in any state.

I think since Bernie has the most minority support, the large latino base in Texas will help him greatly. I'd reckon we are in for a surprise and theres no stopping Bernie unless Biden magically saves his collapsing campaign.

Speaking of Texas and Latinos, how long until Texas turns blue forever and puts an end to Republican presidents? 

With his treatment of Latinos, I'm sure those will flock to the democrats, especially if Bernie can win the nomination. With their support and the increasing urbanisation of the state, I think starting 2020 Texas will become a swing state. And if the republicans lose Texas, they also pretty much lose all hope to win an election, as that state is simply too big to compensate.
