It’ll certainly change things faster than You typing “nuh-uh” a thousand different ways to my posts.
Neither will change things that fast. If it was going to cost Trump the election in 2020, he never would have done it, don't be silly.

You may not have noticed, but Trump doesn’t have much power over border policy, or the release of illegals. Every time he tries to flex the system steps in to thwart him.

Texas set to become majority Hispanic in 2020. Just a matter of whether or not they feel like voting:

Traditionally, Texas Hispanics don’t turn out to vote. But the numbers are going to be there should they change their mind.

My old home state of New Mexico has open borders right now, because Governor Grisham forbade the National Guard from securing the border, pulled them back, and the FBI arrested the citizens who took it upon themselves to secure the border. Now there’s just a bunch of empty checkpoints between us and Mexico

So we’ll see how things go. But I guarantee how they won’t go - Texas goes dark red.

Problem is, everything great they have in Texas will soon be stuff they “had”.
They'll still have the dark skies at Big Bend. Tier one outdoor recreation destination.

Texas isn't even on the verge of being a swing state yet, it might remain dark red but could go light red instead in 2020, but either way, Trump doesn't have to worry about losing Texas in 2020, that's for damn sure. Texas ain't New Mexico yet, the Democrats just wish that it was.

You know what Obama and Hillary were saying about the Rust Belt in 2016?

They were already swing states, Texas isn't.

Compulsive an repetitive snarkiness is a hell of a disability.
Makes one sound pretty insecure, especially when it becomes an M.O.

Top snark fam, you're just jealous, that for once you ain't being the snarky one in this exchange. Took the fight to the Snark King of the MHF, giving him a taste of his own medicine, then he whines about me being snarky? That's rich.

Ah, I see.
You a badass.
I’ll let you and StA have the place.
Don’t spend all your winnings in one place. Lulz.
