if they nominate a right wing nutjob, they will lose the younger womens too. that brings Texas into play.

if they dont pick a moderate or a latino(even ted cruz) they will have a hard time in some red states (incl texas)

Texas likes their right wing nutjobs though, Ted Cruz is a Texas senator after all

they voted for bush junior too. but Cruz is a latino, and still didnt win by a lot. sure he will take texas, but other rightwinger will not.


Well, if democrats were competitive in statewide elections I would agree with you, but since republicans are still dominating them in statewide elections then that is strong evidence the state isn't close to sliding to battleground territory.  

 

There are plenty of other states that are far closer to becoming battlegrounds then Texas.
