Am I confused about all that?

I can tell who is voting Biden by the news channel they each have playing. FOX=Trump, CNN/MSNBC=Biden. I hate to say it but it surprises me how many of the older women have Biden network and almost all the older men have Trump network playing. Several have had Biden signs in front yard. My take so far is that more of these older voters are leaning Biden. It just amazes me that older people trust that liar. I believe whole heartedly it is more of a "hate Trump" vote than a "love Biden" vote.

I have another challenge for you. I've been driving/cycling around my limited area of Collin county and have noticed a pattern. I would like to see if you notice it as well. In my neighborhood at least, there are many houses with US flags posted. Some are affixed to the house, some standing on their own flagpole in the yard. I have yet to see a Biden/Harris sign in a yard with a US flag out front. Have you?

What was said in on class, Government, was that there are more registered democrats in Texas then republicans. Houston, DFW and Austin account for the majority. What we have to count on is the large amount of people registered as independents.
I agree with C-dub, I moved here some 20 something years ago. I have retired here and planned to stay here. But if Texas goes blue I am not sure what I'll do.
Get those independents out to vote (and make sure they vote Republican)

A teacher in a Government class said people are registered as democrats, Republicans, and Independents in Texas? I've never seen any of those designations on my voter registration card.
