Basic greed and on the border. TX has always been very corrupt. Like Cali is corrupt but different. Small towns in TX are totally corrupt as well. Greed and power infest both parties. TX even has it's own flavor of Maxine Waters. The democrat candidate to run for governor is gay, female, and a open borders white latina.
HRC did not win TX. All TX electoral votes went to Trump. But Houston is a lost cause, and Dallas proper is a mess. All teh republicans live in the burbs north of Dallas.
