I don't believe it will be all that close, but I could be wrong.

So it doesn't sound like "sour grapes" after the election, I'll point out something about Trump voters in this Primary:

For all of my early voting years, I voted in the Dem Primaries because there was no R Primary here. Even after the R's started holding Primaries, they ran no candidates for local offices, so I still had to vote in the Dem Primary.

Now that situation is reversed in many places in Texas. If a Democrat wants any say in local matters, he has to vote in the R Primary, then in the General Election he will vote a straight Dem ticket.

Now... if Trump is the Nominee, Texas will go for him in the General, just as if he were a genuine Republican. Nobody wants Hillary or Bernie.

But a good bit of Trump support in this Primary will be from Dem voters in the cities.

Rubio should pick up quite a few delegates in the RGV from Dem voters, along with some bona fide Hispanic Republicans. There really are quite a few of them in Texas. Drive thru the Mexican part of town and you can bet the guy who runs the used tire place, and the owners of the pawn shops are Republicans.

But don't believe that Trump drawing Dem voters in Texas is a reliable indicator of his ability to do it Nationwide.


Never holler whoa or look back in a tight place
