> Shouldn't the republican party be worried?
There is no stopping Texas turning into a blue (Democrat) state. The demographic changes in the US guarantee that outcome under all scenarios, short of the Republican party rapidly becoming a split Hispanic party. It's the only sustainable path forward for that party, so we'll see if they adjust accordingly or increasingly weaken. The future of the US is Hispanic / Latin American, so either the Republicans will adapt or they'll lose the popular vote by ever greater margins.
