I thought Texas was a pretty conservative state…then why do the major cities always go for Democrats?

If Texas is such a conservative state, why is it that Houston, Dallas, San Antonio, Laredo, Austin, El Paso, Fort Worth, Corpus Christi, etc.
Pretty much ALL vote Democrat?
And how is it that even with these major cities voting against them, how is it the state goes Republican in virtually every election?

I am originally from Texas and I think Texas is diverse, but the Democrats don’t come out in force, because they seem content.
I know you mean no harm, but questions like this opens the door for all the racist to chime in, before they go back to pretending they are not bigots, just look at the answers.

    Urban areas go predominately democrat nationwide. Suburban areas tend to go predominately republican nationwide. Rural areas are the tossup…but lately have been going republican nationally and democrat locally except for this last election when they went democrat nationally.

    People in the cities want government to work for them. The rural folks want the government to just leave them the hell alone.

    The big cities are full of minorities, liberal white, and illegals (who influence the vote as potential future voters) who want all the freebies they can get and NO responsibility.

    No doubt most states are conservative, but the Cities are where all those socialists run everything, so it makes sense to say the more rural areas, ranches etc.etc. where people are working their butts off, and not cheating are the more Conservative. Its like in the olden days, when all the ranchers and farmers would storm the town and demand that the lawyers. bankers, the law etc.etc. STOP making unlawful demands on the people, Hey kind of like today!! paying way too much tax on every aspect or our daily living, And now they are gonna attack fast food, what next? bath soap!! God Bless America

    One thing to consider is that many big cities have a large number of "transplants." People from other states who moved there for work.

    Also, the big cities have more blacks who vote 85 to 90% Demcrat.

    Austin and the Southern states are just about the only uber liberal places in Texas. Why do you think these are the areas Obama campaigned in Texas.
