The Texas Demographics Chart That Will Excite Democrats, Scare Republicans

Republicans generally understand that if Texas ever turned blue, the GOP would have an extremely difficult time winning a national presidential election.

While the Lone Star State is still happily conservative, Democrats and progressives are hoping that the state’s booming Hispanic/Latino population coupled with the diminishing young white population will help make the state a toss up in the future.

As Business Insider’s Joe Weisenthal points out, a demographics chart based on U.S. Census data shows that the Latino population among younger generations — future voters — is growing rapidly. However, whites are still the majority among people aged 45 and older.

Nonetheless, Republicans will likely have to find a way to appeal to Latino and Hispanic voters in order to keep Texas a Republican state over the long term. In 2012, Hispanic voters voted for President Barack Obama over Mitt Romney 71% to 27%.

    From “The Great State” of Texas, and I do not see the trend towards Liberal/Communism. I have been hearing this on the radio/TV. Although, most of the Border counties vote Democraps. Here is the last two Presidential Election results.
    2008 – McLame – 55% – 4,479,328 votes
    The “messiah” – 44% – 3,528,633 votes

    2012 – Romney (dont have a name for him yet) – 57.2% – 4,569,843
    The “Liar” – 41.4% – 3,308,124

      How about finding these numbers over the past 50yrs for us. That would be interesting. I bet they would clearly indicate a trend towards democratic voting. It may take them a while but they will win unless the breeding rate changes.

      I remember back when I was in elementary school , we had a map of the US that showed the political leaning of each state and back then (early ’70′s) our great state was labeled as Democrat. Back then though, the political divisiveness was not what it is today. People back then claimed that the Dems were for the working class (not the gimme class) and that there were more jobs when we had Dems in office. Looking at the Dems of today, I can’t see how that could be possible. I wouldn’t vote for a Dem if they were the only name on the ballot. I would write in anyone, up to and including my lazy arse dog if i thought it would keep a Dem out of office. The parties of today are about nothing but dividing our country…the us against them mentality…neither party gives a rat’s ass about the people or their well being…they care about one thing and one thing only, dividing the country to cause as much discord as possible so whomever is in office can appear to save the day by “saving the nation from a civil war or a financial collapse or whatever the Armageddon crisis of the day is. We need to form a Conservative party with TRUE conservatives…one that will truly work to make our country better rather than make their bank accounts fatter…that ain’t gonna happen but it’s a great dream.

      Maybe Texas needs to remind the Hispanic population that the battle of the Alamo was to defend the rights of Mexicans when Santa Anna abolished the Mexican constitution.

      Maybe it is time that is the slayer of civiliations and nations. If new generations buy into the lies of entitlements, then all the sacrifices of the past will be washed away and the progressives will complete their rewrite of history. If you haven’t read George Orwell’s 1984, you really should. It shows how time and revisionists can change the world without firing a shot. This is indeed scary stuff!

      No Texas used to vote heavily Democratic, conservative Democrats that is. Then the Democratic Party started taking very hard left liberal positions. A lot of conservative Democrats in the state went Republican and then the Republicans took control there. The Hispanics in TX are more religious and far more conservative than a lot of Hispanics in other states. Texas voters elect conservative blacks and Hispanics to office as well. So the thought of turning Texas blue will likely never happen since Obama and company have seriously over-reached. It is a pipe dream of the liberal progressive Dems, since they believe all voters want their communistic socialistic utopia and that they are also all “give me” voters. Texas voters are independent self sufficient people. Dems lose this one.

      perhaps whites should first appeal to their own interests, their fertility, before pandering to hispanics. this is not an ideological battle of left vs right, GOP vs Dems, Socialism vs liberty. This is ethnic warfare against white people.

      “Native” Americans are not native. They invaded from East Asia.

      Gullible Whites should reject suicidal anti-White Jewish ideologies like libertarianism, feminism, liberalism, socialism. White people should reject hostile slanders of racism, collectivism. Reading list:

      Well, add it with cheating at the polls, and when they win Texas, they’ll just point back to when people use to say it was going to switch as proof that it isn’t cheating and they knew it was going to happen.

      The president uses this all the time. He goes on the record on both sides of an issue at different times and when needed, he touts the one that is most beneficial, and by “he,” I mean he has the media defend him.

      President Obama won in the last two elections the four major urban areas in Texas: Dallas, Travis, Bexar and Travis counties.

      Sorry folks. The old white guys who vote for conservatives are dying. They’re being replaced by younger and more liberal voters. Voters with higher education levels also tend to vote support Democrats as well.

      The rural, less populated areas of Texas will continue to vote for conservatives for years I’m sure, but as the population density in those areas increases, the democratic vote will increase as well, just as it has in the urban areas. I’m so sorry to break it to ya.

      I suggest you move to Montana.

      PAULI,
      Mr. McDonald’s read on the Jewish model is more than just an interesting read. Seems somewhat foundational to a revival of European culture and ethnocentrocism in the face of seemingly almost insurmountable odds. Yet survival, among several other factors, including common Judeo-Christian foundational values in the face of antithetical positions could provide such impetus. Forgot not that the Jew and the Christian in actuality have the same God. It is just that the prior has yet to acknowledge and accept the Son.

      I live in the Dallas area, and Dallas is very liberal. I assume you have most cities dependent on the government handouts, and willing to vote themselves more money. Or at least afraid to NOT vote Democrat because they’re told Republicans will take away their free money/benefits. My adult son is on disability and they keep pushing me to apply to get paid to watch him…he’s my own son! I don’t mind taking disability, because most children almost 23 are out of the house and it helps with clothing/feeding him, but it’s an abuse to accept money to watch him.

      Its not just the border states voting democratic, cities such as Houston, Austin and Dallas also vote democratic. When 60.5% of the school age children in Texas are Mexican, it is easy to see Texas becoming a blue state by 2020. And its not just the Mexicans, it is also the liberals flowing in from the eastern seaboard, CA and MI who are here for work. Ted Cruz needs to comeback and run for Governor.

      The best way to combat these demographics is to change all welfare distribution in the state. Rather than offer food, rent, utility assistance. Offer only a bus ticket to either Chicago or LA. The Dems will leave of their own accord because Texas is out of “FREE” stuff.

I see more illegals here in DFW than i ever have before. Not to mention wave after wave of blue state citizenry transplanting themselves to Texas. Don’t forget our state capital in Austin – also known as the liberal capital of Texas. San Antonio’s mayor agrees and Houston’s mayor agrees that in won’t be long before Texas is purple then blue..

      Zorro, my wife is from South America. She became a citizen last year (it took 7 years after we were married) and voted for Romney. On the way home from voting she just started gushing about how Obama’s values are different from ours and that Obama is this and that bad stuff. I said, “You never liked it when I talked politics.” She said, “I have children now and am a citizen.”

      Um, she comments sometimes about how many illegals there are here in NC. I asked how she can tell. She says she knows. I have a friend from Puerto Rico who is pretty anti-Mexican over the millions of illegal Mexicans here who bitch about America. He served in the Navy.

      I think there is a bit of a rift building between Mexicans and the rest of Latin America over the issue…if you’re from Mexico, just walk across the border and the Democrat Shuttle Bus picks you up and gives you cash and votes for you. Otherwise, you have to wait years and pay money.

Conservatives are constantly calling people of Mexican descent illegals, leeches, and what have you. Sure they follow up with the well, we mean “illegals” BS but it does get annoying. I’m not saying to stop talking about it. But there is an intelligent way to talk about it and there is a stupid and divisive way to talk about it. Rick Perry is intelligent about it. You, not so much.

      Write me off as a liberal if you want. Ignore me as an idiot. But Hispanics like me have been working very hard for many years warning Republicans and Conservatives of this. I’ve got my whole family to vote Republican for the first time in decades. It’s been tough. But keep this garbage up and we’ll lose the fight.

      Zorro, I must ask, is it not a problem that there are about 25-30 million illegal immigrants in the US and most are from Mexico because of an open border? I asked my wife when she was liberal (“Oh, but they’re just poor people”) on this issue, “What if Peru had an open border and Ecuadorians or Columbians just came and went for 40 or 50 years? What if politicians in Peru wanted to give welfare to them, refused to deport them, called anyone who didn’t like it racists and unemployment was 14%? Why have any immigration controls? Why have passports? Why have citizenship? Is there another open border like this in the world?” Those questions brought her around on the issue…

    California is ruled by Sacramento and San Fransisco. NY state is ruled by NY city. Illinois is ruled by Chicago. Massachusetts is ruled by Boston. Colorado, a state until just 10 or 15 years ago was solidly conservative, is now ruled by Denver and Boulder. Texas has Austin and Houston (a sanctuary city), and Dallas and San Antonio are almost blue. See how this works? Big cities within states go blue and then take over the entire state government. After amnesty Texas won’t go purple, it will go directly to blue.

    DISMAYED VETERAN, regarding your 5:02pm response to my 4:45pm and 4:48pm posts, if the Democrats gain the upper hand in Texas and elsewhere thanks to the influx of illegal aliens from south of the border who will be given citizenship if the Dems have their way such that they are assured of permanent control of our political institutions as a result, ALL OF AMERICA will become a Third World country. There are plenty of places in America that under the rule of Democrats are ALREADY a Third World country, indeed are descending to the socioeconomic level of North Korea: I give you the city of Detroit as Exhibit A here, and so many OTHER Democrat-run cities can be added to this list. And much of California has already effectively become a Third World nation.

    Secession may soon become the only hope for Texas (and at least some of the rest of America) NOT to become a Third World country.

      The problem isn’t “birthright citizenship”. The problem isn’t “illegal aliens”. The problem is WELFARE.

      If we didn’t give welfare to people who were born into citizenship, or to illegal aliens, or to people who’ve lived in America for generations, we wouldn’t have any of the financial problems we face today.

      End WELFARE now. It’s theft. It’s the unproductive stealing from the productive.

      as a conservative, you should embrace eliminating birthright citizenship – cuz the republican party is unwilling to get rid of entitlements

      Jaycen is definitely leaning prog. Anybody that says the birthright citizenship is not a rampant out of control bunch of BS must be a member of the offending group. Flat out fact. No real, ancestral American descendant would say something like that. But, he is correct. It is the free stuff that is bringing them here in the first place. All govt agencies are now the enemy of free people. They are the ones administering these thefts and giveaways. Remember that when the time comes. And that includes ALL of those employed by said agencies including ALL family members.

    The more ******** and illegals that move here to TEXAS the less amount of jobs there will be . Less people working means higher taxes to cover the loss of revenue. Then there will be new taxes to make liberals feel good about giving away your money to the unemployed and vulnerable. then the price of everything goes up.

      I do believe in assistance, ASSISTANCE to get you back on your feet in the event you are injured, providing you are a LEGAL BORN CITIZEN, AND, that it is ASSISTANCE, not a permanent living. you come into this country illegally and you are 8/9 month preg. then you have your baby and you all go back home, this crap about illegals sneaking into this country to have their anchor babies should be put to an end. there should be random drug testing, you on public assistance and caught doing drugs, your off FOREVER! you a criminal in any way shape for form, OFF FOREVER; I will never forget that I came out of military service and my wife was pregnant with twins, we were below poverty level (the military didn’t get paid as good as they do now) and I was denied because I drove a truck the bank owned (they said I could sell it) yet the waiting room was full of non english speaking Mexicans, most driving better cars than I and they were getting FULL assistance. So, legal citizen, worked since 15, 7 years of military service with combat and cant get a penny of help. felony illegal Mexican, work under the table for cash so don’t pay taxes and you get $500 a month to split with the other 3 familes you live with who also are getting assistance. Yea, sounds fair to me?! NOT

    It’s funny how white Democrats seem to applaud the demise of a white-majority America.

    Don’t these fools realize that once Latinos have the numbers, white liberals will find THEMSELVES just as shut out of the corridors of power in this country as white conservatives?

    Take a look at cities, districts, and other political entities where the population is mostly black: they almost NEVER elect anyone BUT blacks in those entities anymore.

    Take a look at the L.A. mayor’s race that installed Villaraigosa as L.A.’s mayor: you had a Latino running against a white liberal Jew, James Hahn, whose liberal bona fides were beyond reproach. So who won the race in a city where the Hispanics had become a plurality by then? The candidate with the Spanish surname, naturally.

    As I recall, years ago, when then-Texas Democrat Congressman Martin Frost’s district was going to be redrawn because of redistricting and as a result would become much more Latino, Frost OPPOSED such redistricting of his district – because he KNEW that once the Hispanics had the numbers in his district, no one would be elected to Congress in that district who did not have a Spanish surname.

    But then again, this stupidity only confirms the comments of so many all over the Internet in the last few years that liberalism is not only a mental disorder but a suicide cult as well.

      ZORRO: I understand what you are trying to say; Americans need to accept the facts as they are. Border crossings have been the norm for decades and we have the populace that we have. What the people of Texas need to do is educate the populace that left Mexico and use them for enhancement of a better society. They need to be educated in the sense that they came to America for a better life and voting anything but conservative will only bring them the life that they left.

      That is the main struggle, but if all energies were spent to organize in the same fashion as the progressive commies have to build a strong sense of a conservative community, rather then allow the progressives to divide people based on ethnicity, there may be a chance to turn this. What the people from Mexico must understand is that the gov’t does not provide a secure future for them and they must understand that the individual is the key to unlock a secure future for their community.

      You need to understand that it’s difficult to educate those people when Republican are constantly calling them a drain on the system as if no white people or US born citizens of different colors couldn’t be a drain on it. If I mow my lawn and have to go to Autozone afterwards to buy a part, some of these people will look at me and jot me down as an illegal. I’m sorry, guy. We can blame whatever you want. At the heart of Republicans and Conservatives losing the Hispanic vote, is the racism and anger many of them harbor towards anyone who doesn’t look like them. A colleague, despite being adopted and not knowing his true background, told me I could never be a “true” American despite being born in Texas with roots back to before Texas became a state or being a veteran. My ancestors, he claims, did not fight to create this country like his supposedly did. This kind of attitude exists, right here, and in a lot of places.

    There is no problem for Republicans. Just define the Democrat party as well as they mis-define Republicans and this is like any other reality for Democrats. People flat out don’t like them, nor what they stand for. Democrats entire election strategy hinges on people being easily fooled and easily scared. An indoctrination strategy of groupthink. An infrastructure of ‘community organizing’ operations to ‘organize’ this strategy. It’s evil. When the people understand it, they will never ever vote for anyone who is a party to it. People by their vary nature loathe Democrats. They just don’t understand what they are.

    Add to the mix the number of folks who emigrated to TX from CA and brought their politics with them while avoiding the taxes. The GOP is in a position where they truly have to “sell their brand”, at a time when their brand needs a new set of goals. I consider myself a Libertarian/Conservative by nature, and vote Republican due to logistics– there is no sufficient substitute– but the former “minorities” have a vested interest in keeping the Dems as they are: the hand-out party.

In California, 37 percent of Hispanics call themselves conservative, 30 percent say they’re moderate and 33 percent embrace the liberal label.

    In Texas, 46 percent of Hispanics say they are conservative, 36 percent are moderate and 18 percent say they are liberal, Baselice said.’

    Hopefully, before Texas gets the CHANCE to turn blue, it will have spearheaded a secession movement and left the Union and brought a lot of currently-red states along WITH it into a new nation: the Free States of America (or whatever name you want to give to the new conservative homeland).

    And once the Free States have been established, it will do away with all this multicultural nonsense AND with birthright citizenship and expel the illegals (or at the least give them work permits to stay here and work but nothing MORE than that, with any nonsense of a “pathway to citizenship” having been dispensed with once and for all).

      Oh, and it goes without saying: in the Free States of America, deliberate voter fraud will be made a CAPITAL offense.

      Of course, some liberals who choose to remain in the Free States after they secede from the United States of America will not take this seriously and attempt this nonetheless – and once the first public hangings are conducted in the Free States of those who are convicted of deliberate voter fraud, after that, I predict that the line of people willing to get their necks stretched to help Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck vote will be VERY short.

      Actually what’s it about ‘old white people”. According to the article its young white people that are diminishing in number. At this rate white people will go exinct. That would make the democrats ultra happy.

      Of course there are probably more libertariens than “republicans” in the young crowd. So more tan likely republican party will die out, but a new party may arise to replace it. I highly doubt that the us will stay or turn into a one party system with no voting choices (however some would argue it already has).
