Austin isn't big enough to swing the entire state blue, but if cities like Dallas and Houston become more like Austin - then you could have a California style shift. In smaller states with one major city - all you have to do is take over that city to shift the entire culture.… https://t.co/dcNYT6BdK4

Downtown Dallas is already Dem. Uptown area is mostly millennials that vote left, however there are small areas like Highland Park and University, folks are conservative. Once you get outside LBJ, folks are much more rational and vote conservative. They are the ones with families and have put roots down

Preston Hollow is fairly conservative.

Texas Senate GOP quietly considers stripping power from Lt. Governor if the Democrat wins, sources say
With a Patrick loss possible, changing the rules to sideline a Democratic Lt. Gov. would be pretty straightforward; intrigue would surround the caucus election of a Majority Leader

With public and private GOP polling showing Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick potentially losing to a lawmaker whose name ID mostly comes from Patrick's campaign commercials, multiple sources have confirmed to Quorum Report in recent days that an overhaul of how the Texas Senate is led may be coming next year. Namely: Stripping the Lt. Governor of all legislative powers if Democratic nominee Vikki Goodwin beats Patrick next month.
