At least one Republican knows math

That one Republican would be Jeb Bush.
Sitting down across from me, he assumes his role as party Cassandra, warning of the day when the Republicans’ failure to tap an exploding Hispanic population will cripple its chances at reclaiming power—starting in Texas, the family seat of the House of Bush.

“It’s a math question,” he tells me. “Four years from now, Texas is going to be a so-called blue state. Imagine Texas as a blue state, how hard it would be to carry the presidency or gain control of the Senate.”
I gotta admit...I'm dreaming of a blue Texas :-)

  2. I think it will take longer than four years, but it's bound to happen eventually.
