“Self-reflection”? For Republicans? For TEXAS Republicans?? Surely you jest…..*

Actually, as long as we’re juggling fantasy scenarios, I’m guessing that if TX goes for Joe, it will be by a narrow margin**, and only on a statewide level: I’m thinking Cornyn will certainly be returned to the Senate (more’s the pity), and the GOP are likely to lose few Congressional (or statehouse) seats. They will still be around, still have their base, and still have more money than God to spend on political influence***. A more likely outcome would be for them to double down on the fearmongering, racism and religious nuttery and make sure nothing like a Biden win ever happens again.

** 87 votes would be quite appropriate
*** DISCLAIMER: no expert on TX politics: clarification will be appreciated

it’s all moot. the party isn’t going to change until its current part of the electorate dies off. they can have as many post election autopsies as they want. as long as their voter base is mostly people with confederate flags in cement-filled tires in pick-up beds, they aren’t changing.
