Texas Democrats have always been plugged into urban political machines and as the Texas triangle gains preeminence in state government and economy once again they're flexing their muscle. We're lucky that the best they've come up with is Robbie O'Rourke as a brand name leader, but he has an embarrassing amount of support even now. The southern counties are trending to the right thanks to the Dems being pillocks and if the GOP can avoid fucking things up like usual the Republicans may capture every single county that isn't in DFW, Houston, Austin, and El Paso, which will secure the state, but things are closer than we'd like atm.
