Donald Trump's lead in my state is shrinking...

New poll: Trump lead shrinks in Texas, within margin of error

For perspective, Mitt Romney won Texas by 16 points in 2012, John McCain won this state by 13 points in 2008, George W. Bush carried his home state by 23 points in 2004, and 22 points in 2000 when he was elected to his first term.
Where Texas Republicans Stand on Donald Trump

The surfacing of a 2005 clip showing Donald Trump speaking lewdly about women has caused many Republicans to drop their support for their party's presidential nominee. Here's how the controversy is unfolding in Texas.
Texas hasn't been blue since 1976. If Trump loses TX, that would be huge. It's entirely possible too. Many people I know around my age, especially minorities, were never really actively engaged voters so that could change this election. Trump didn't win the primary either.

The biggest irony of all, with all his talk of being anti-immigration and fixing borders (something that is always an issue here), would be to lose in the state of Texas because of the female vote. I don't see how he could ever live that down.
