At the tail-end of the interview, Rose asked San Antonio Mayor Julian about the shifting political landscape of Texas. He gave three reasons:

  • demographic changes (65 percent of growth in Texas has been Hispanics, he asserted)
  • the economy (driving Dems from California, Nevada, and other states to Texas for work)
  • this nugget: “The Republicans have just gone off the rails, and are losing the business community little by little”

He went on to say state Republicans have become more concerned with “ideology than pragmatism.”
