Notable that Democrats have fielded presidential candidates from pretty much every region in the country, except for the South (defined roughly as AL, MS, GA, SC, TN, KY, AR, MO, northern FL)

Texas is kind of a region unto itself, which is why I wouldn't describe Julian Castro as from "The South" either. (And yes, once again, I know these regional descriptions are amorphous). At the very least you can say there are no Dem candidates from the Deep South

Texas is not the south, even if some Texans make believe they are.

True. Growing up in Texas in the ‘50’s, the “Deep South” was considered as separate from us as New England or California. We made fun of their “southern accents”. Texas, formerly an independent republic called “Texas”, is just Texas.

El Paso is a wonderful place that is completely unlike Dallas, Houston, San Antonio or Albuqueque. It seems unlikely, but more people should visit. Great food and great people, too.

Of course Texas is part of the south, they literally started a war over slavery before the civil war was even a thing
