Latino turnout though. It's not outrageous. There has been more Latino early vote in some Latino-heavy TX counties than there were votes cast there altogether in 2012.

Speaking of Ohio

There hasn't been a single public poll showing Clinton up in a while. The outlier door swings both ways, though.

Marginal chance for AZ, Texas would be a shocker. Can't see her winning AZ, TX, or GA without also winning Ohio or NH, though.

I think people giving up hope on Ohio are premature. My map is yours, except give her Ohio and NH, definitely give Trump Texas, and AZ and Georgia are probably Trump but I want to believe.

So, one thing to remember about Paul Ryan is that he's got competition, I believe - a Trump supporter running against him on the Independent-Trump party.
Depending on how things go, he could very well lose, given that Trump's middle-fingering him so hard.

It's not so much "too many whites" so much as "what percentage of the white population lives in monoculture?" Susceptibility to white nationalism increases if you have never had a meaningful interaction with a minority. Texas' large Hispanic population is simultaneously driving the blue vote and making it harder for whites to have only ever known other whites.

I doubt Clinton wins Texas. Latino turnout is surging but not high enough to overwhelm the white republican vote, and I don't expect white turnout to be suppressed in any meaningful level on election day.

What I'm expecting - and this is just an educated guess really - is for Texas to swing Trump by about 5 points or so. Compared to 2012, in which Romney won Texas by 16 points, that's still hilarious.

Rush, Hannity, and the entire conservative media complex (along with the conservative political leadership, for that matter) are gonna memory-hole this entire election. This time next year, they'll be talking like Hillary ran unopposed (through some nefarious mechanism for which she should be impeached).

I'm pretty happy with this possible map, which I call the Half Satan.

What's more important when it comes to Texas, imo, is for Dems to hold on to that increasing hispanic turnout and dem support and capitalize on it in future elections. If the hispanic vote exceeds 50% this year then that could set a good baseline to work from.

of course that implies a Texas Democratic GOTV initiative that isn't a writhing garbage fire

Theoretically yes, if there was some NV style undervaluing of the number of Latino voters that would come out in Texas.

It's weird since my mom is from an uneducated working class Dearborn Michigan background and so while she's not hateful in her bigotry like a Deplorable would be, it's still an unthinking casual racism she got from her dad growing up.

Like when I was planning on going to Taiwan, she was happy for me that I might date a Chinese girl so she might have a 'chink' baby someday or I should try to dress as cool as one of my black coworkers. :psyduck: It pivots randomly from positivity to fearful racism I guess?

I know it really looks like this in Germany and the UK - on a state/county level, a strong negative correlation between share of non-Whites and vote for anti-immigrant parties (UKIP and AfD) - but I'm not sure it has to be the same for the US.

I'm not sure it holds for Europe on a nation level.
