The plan all along was protect power with redistricting and then hope that enough minorities buy the 'fiscal conservatism protects you from paying for *them' blather to keep the demographic shift from wiping them out before the next round of redistricting. I don't think they'll survive the demographics forever, but it won't be quick and I won't be surprised if the TX GOP still has power the next time we redistrict in 2030.The Texas Republican Party seems to be hoping that they'll be able to ride out a crisis of racism, greed and deaths-from-hypothermia, rather than planning a way out of a crisis of racism, greed and deaths-from-hypothermia
