Dallas might go blue

I was at a bar in northern Dallas and the guys were bragging about their big guns (as in Glock vs Magnum). Then they mentioned Donnie and they all laughed at his being an idiot. I was stunned.

I can't wait to get back to Chicago but hearing this was nice.

Hillary will carry both this year. It's the sea of deep red that completely surrounds Dallas and extends all the way to Austin and Houston that is the problem.

A lot of state counties did that.

Texas’s Harris County (Houston) also did.

So did Colorado’s Arapahoe (Littleton) and Jefferson (Golden); Ohio’s Hamilton (Cincinnati); and Virginia’s Loudon (Leesburg) and Prince William (Manassas) counties. Numerous in addition to these.

Dallas and Harris Counties, in Texas, are on a Democratic trend. And, for Democrats to succeed in carrying Texas, this is necessary.
