Yep and they keep failing. From 2013 OP:

Big Democratic donors are setting their sights on Texas amid expectations that it might be up for grabs as early as the 2016 US presidential election because of its rapidly changing demographics, potentially creating a Texas-sized problem for the Republican party.

Well that did not happen in 2016, and yesterday Dems got trounced despite the so-called blue wave that was supposed to happen. Like Cowboys fans, they keep thinking this the year they return to power, only to see Lucy pull the Football away. ROFL. Turnout was about 3:2 in favor of Republicans, and since most were incumbents, there was little excitement. 0-25 years and counting.
