Highlights
Democrats see the state in play in the presidential race.
Donald Trump plans a third trip to Texas this month.
Hillary Clintons presidential campaign and the Democratic National Committee will soon be opening offices in Texas, stoking Democrats long-shot hopes of making the Lone Star State competitive in the presidential election.
The first office will open Saturday in Houston, and more will follow, said Garry Mauro, chairman of Hillary for Texas. The move follows polls showing Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump and Clinton locked in a tight race in Texas.
Jimmy Carter was the last Democratic presidential candidate to win Texas, narrowly defeating President Gerald Ford in 1976.
All Texas Democrats are encouraged by the recent polling that shows this to be a very close race, said Mauro, among the last Democrats to win statewide office when he was elected land commissioner in 1994. I think Trump is mad enough to lose the state..........................

It is. The possibility of this State turning from dark red, to purple, to blue is a dream come true.

Gerrymandering & voter suppression be damned..we may finally have a sincere shot at it.
What a beautiful day it would be.

(9,148 posts)10. Arizona is a worthy GOTV trip also. Kudos to you!
But I do hear what you're saying.
Hopefully we'll get both States.
Keep on doing the good work till the dust clears & Hillary is in the WH. Best wishes to you in AZ!

among them electing Ann Kirkpatrick and retiring McCain. Best wishes.

now, if we can get Republicans to play defense in the state, it would be awesome.

an organization for family members of people killed by immigrants without legal status."
Trump continuing to keep his hate of latinos front and center ought to help turn out the vote for Hillary.
