Big Surprise: Texas is Safe R. Hillary maxed out the urban areas and still only got 43.2% of the vote. There just aren't enough votes to elect a democrat in Texas.
Ummm...No? Have you seen how other urban areas of the country have trended once Democrats broke through? Look at NOVA, San Diego, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Orlando, Miami, Atlanta. Hillary's numbers are by no means the Democratic ceiling, at least long-term. If Democrats can win 2/3 in Dallas; 60% in Harris and Bexar; and flip Tarrant, Collin, Denton, Williamson, and Hays, they probably win the state, or come damn-near close.
Denton may be the hardest to crack of those. Or hays
