The interesting thing about the great state of Texas is how they lured new business with low taxes and few regulations, but didn't realize that meant attracting young, diverse, entrepreneurial spirits who built new economic hubs (like Austin) but weren't GOP acolytes. Today's Texas candidate can't run on "God and Guns" like they did for generations. Well, they can try, but it may not work this time around, because all those young, new businesses/entrepreneurs come with new-fangled "liberal" ideas about pay equity, environmental protection, criminal justice reform, universal healthcare, sensible immigration/asylum, etc.
Texas may not turn blue this year, but it's definitely a shade of purple.
