      @AnniseParker to @BetoORourke: come back to Texas, water is warm. “He just needs to get home and take care of business,” said the former Houston mayor, adding: “we wouldn’t have five people running for Senate if Beto came back.”pic.twitter.com/F72Eji9g3i

      Know who’s taking the #Texodus seriously? @tedcruz After four Texas House Rs announce their retirement - and w Rs bracing for more - Cruz says there is a greater threat to the delegation “than there has been in past years.” He hopes it’ll “create a renewed sense of urgency”

      On retirement watch... Texas + DC Republicans watching Carter and McCaul the closest, w some nervousness Trump may McCaul for DNI. Post-HASC gavel, Thornberry also seen as a short-timer but his district couldn’t get any redder unless it annexed choice parts of Oklahoma.

      It’s hard to overstate symbolic impact of @HurdOnTheHill leaving. Esp for the Texas establishment wing And not only bc is he only black R in the House It was also: The resume (CIA, Aggie) The district (An R who held the border in tough cycle!) The promise (life post-Trump)

      For you non-Texans: if SUGAR LAND sounds familiar that’s bc it’s Tom DeLay’s hometown. but it has seen explosive growth since he was first elected: Hillary the first Dem to win the county since LBJ, 118 languages spoken and there’s now a judge exec who grew up in India >pic.twitter.com/3xbLeI8NhD

      Like a lot of metro Houston, you can get a glimpse of the town’s character just by rolling around the strip malls. The pho place I ate it was in same development as two Indian joints, across street from a Korean bbq joint and around corner from Wu’s Violins #sugarland

      SUGAR LAND is also the hometown of @PaulBegala, who recounted a very new-meets-old Texas moment when he went back for his hs reunion a few years ago: Girls wearing “spirit hijabs” in their school colors.

      And speaking of football, can’t think of Texas & immigrants without being reminded of the legendary Dat Nguyen. Born in a refugee camp at Ft Chaffee, moved to Texas as a kid and became an Aggie then a Cowboy. This is for @rolandsmartin >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQL8--4vE_M …

      One of the biggest Dem challenges in Tex: unlike some states, many Hispanics there are reliable Republicans - and have been for yrs Caught this in Sugar Land when I chatted w 3 co-workers at lunch, 2 latinas and a black woman. They don’t much talk politics bc they disagree...

          ...1 of the latinas, fourth generation Texan, is a rock-ribbed Repub. Even converted her husband. She dug Trump, said he was right about the “infestation” in American cities. The other 2 women were Dems, loathe Trump. Couldn’t wait to interject.

          Early in my time in DC a Dem operative told me that many TX Hispanics were sour on Dems because of the old-school, machine-style white Democrats who ran many South Texas counties with an iron fist. Dems hadn't overcome that legacy, even w/ partisan shifts in the state.

          It’s more complicated than that & South Texas latinos still largely vote for Democrats.The Rio Grande Valley votes republican in some non-local elections. Voted Bush for president example. Latinos often vote like their neighbors. And many are Catholic, so abortion.

          Very true. Most that I have known were conservative. Traditional, religious.
