I can see it. The thing is, it's not so much "Winning Texas" as it is "Urban Population exceeds Rural Population".
When Dallas + Houston + San Antonio + Austin >>> Everywhere else... then Texas goes Democrat.
As much as we think of the Electoral College as Big State vs Small State, it's actually Urban vs Rural. States with big cities that have more people than Rural areas go Blue.
