When Republican Governor Pete Wilson dropped proposition 187 into the murky California political waters, he turned them bright blue. Unwavering hispanic support has kept the golden state blue all these many years.
Like California, New Mexico and Texas, are states in which minorities make up the majority of the population. A rollicking registration drive, and targeted ads featuring Trump's racist remarks, could have proposition 187 type results. New Mexico could change from purple to blue, while Texas could change from solid red to purple. Texas Republicans, like George W. Bush, have actively contested the hispanic vote. Trump could be a seismic shift. The Texas earthquake would rock the GOP for decades.
