Ann Coulter predicted in December 2018 that Trump will be the last Republican president. Texas may well prove her right.
The Lone Star State is the gem of the Republican electoral map. It has a population of nearly 30 million and 36 seats in the House, 23 of which are currently held by Republicans. Vitally, it commands 38 electoral votes which — with the exception of a few faithless electors — have gone to the GOP in every presidential election since the time of Ronald Reagan.
A blue Texas has long been the dream of liberal groups such as Battleground Texas. It is not difficult to see why. For conservatives, losing Texas would mean losing a counterweight to the political influence of California and New York, as well as granting the Democrats a decisive electoral advantage that could be fatal in the era of ossified party loyalties.
Texas’ political trajectory should, therefore, be a wake-up call to conservatives. Early pollingshows Biden beating Trump by up to four points in the traditionally right-leaning state, and other candidates such as Sanders losing by only slim margins. The numbers have roused the media and spooked conservative observers, with even the President himself denying their legitimacy.
