For the first time in my life, I voted for a Democrat for President. 4 yrs ago I voted Libertarian. Republicans used to complain about Obama not abiding by the Constitution, but IMHO Trump has been far worse. Worst of all, the Republican Senators and Representatives lacked the balls to keep a check on him.
Will Texas turn blue for Biden? I give it a 50-50 chance. I'm also thinking the Democrats will gain 5-10 seats in the Senate.
It could take 10 yrs for the Republican Party to recover from Trump.

Republicans haven't had any balls for years. They don't stand up and fight. The establishment Republicans want someone like Romney or McCain because they are the type to go along to get along. Meanwhile the Democrats will say and do anything to further their agenda. So many of the Republicans hate Trump because he does fight back. The Republicans lost the house, in part, because so many representatives chose not to run. They didn't like Trump's style and they didn't like that he was draining the swamp. They fucking walked away because they couldn't stomach the fight.
There will be no recovering from Trump and don't forget he is not the one who started these fights. Remember Obama and some of his stupid remarks like "The Caimbridge Police acted stupidly" or suggesting some dude at a rally should take on Sean Hannity..."he'll tear him up". Or what about telling supporters at a rally to get in peoples faces and shit. And Obama is still at it. Some of the remarks he has made at rallies just the last few days has been as unpresidential as anything Trump has said. Just the fact that Obama is on the campaign trail should be enough to tell you that the Biden is in trouble. I wonder how much they Biden had to promise him or pay him in order to get his endorsement. Don't forget that Obama once refused to endorse him.
Maxine Waters Once screamed at the top of her lungs to harrass republicans at the restaurant or the gas station or anywhere you see them and tell them "you're not welcome here". Democrats are so filled with hate and they project that onto their opponents claiming they are the ones who are hateful.
The political landscape has changed...forever. Twitter and Facebook have done more to facilitate that change than anything. Everyone has a voice even those who don't know WTF they are talking about. Trump latched on to that medium when he saw he wasn't going to get a fair shake from MSM and it has served him well. He can take his message direct to the people AND it pissed off MSM to no end that they don't have the opportunity to shape, or distort, his message. The only thing they can do is criticize it and it makes them look weak and ineffective...which they are.
Win or lose tomorrow I suspect the next Republican candidate will be much like Trump. Early money may be on Mark Cuban although he is an independent. He is certainly smart enough to know that an independent doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell. He will suck it up and run as a Republican if he runs. I would like to see him in the race but if you don't like Trump being matter of fact and opinionated then you really aren't going to like Cuban.
