Same can be said for San Antonio. Many affectionately refer to it now as San Frantonio.Judge said:

It is. In fact if every county in Texas that I-35 runs through taken as a whole was a seperate state, it would be considered a purple state. Clinton in fact carried it.
The Mayor is very correct.
Many of the higher end areas are not in the City of Dallas

White flight- peacefully leaving neighborhoods that no longer meet reasonable standards of safety and decency.
It is pretty much the standard in most large cities. You are either really wealthy (and often liberal) and can afford a big home on expensive real estate or lower income not being able to afford middle class suburbs. Millennials who live in downtown areas tend to be liberal too until they have to pay a lot in taxes.
It's a generalization but it correlates rather well.

If you're spending $2000+/month in rent for a downtown apartment, you're already paying several hundred a month in taxes.midgett said:

The actual city of Dallas is. The surrounding suburbs that make up "Dallas" depends on which one.
Pretty much all major cities are blue, or are about to be. That's just how the demographics work.

All over the country, you will see similar urban areas that are blue in red states.

Well, the soul dies at 40 so maybe that has something to do about it.
