Umnyulwa we-Democratic Hillary Clinton.URobyn Beck / Getty Izithombe Kwiipaseji zedolophu enkulu eseWashington kukho ukwanda koloyiko kwizangqa eziphezulu ze-GOP ukuba ukumelwa kukaDonald Trump kukamongameli kungenza umonakalo omkhulu kumathemba amaRiphabhlikhi asebenzela iNdlu kunye neSenethi.
Kukho imeko efanayo yokuxhalabisa phakathi kwamaRiphabhlikhi kwizixeko zikarhulumente kwilizwe liphela-kubandakanya i-Austin, Texas.
Masiqale ngedatha. Ngokwesishwankathelo salo lonke uvoto lwaseTexas lokuvota kwi-Political Real, uTrump ukhokela uHillary Clinton ngomyinge weepesenti ezi-5.4 ukusukela kusasa ngoLwesine. Nangona kunjalo, kulonyulo lwamva nje olwenziwe ngo-Okthobha, uClinton wenyuka waya kumanqaku amane kwindawo yokuvota evela kwi-WFAA TV naseSurvey USA nakwindawo ezintathu kwindawo yokuvota evela kwiDyunivesithi yaseHouston. Kwivoti yesithathu yakutshanje yaseTexas eqhutywa yiSurvey Monkey ye IWashington Post Umda kaTrump ngaphezulu kukaClinton yayingamanqaku amabini kuphela.
Ndiyindoda yokubheja kwaye ndingagxininisa ukuba amathuba okuba uClinton oyise uTrump eTexas asezantsi, ngelixa amathuba okuba uClinton aphumelele uloyiso olukhulu kuzwelonke aya esiba phezulu. Ukuvota kwexesha elizayo kungabonisa kakuhle ukuba iipolls ezintathu zamva nje endizikhankanyileyo zonke zi-flukes kwaye umda kaTrump waseTexas uqala ukukhula kwakhona. Andizukubheja ukuba uHillary uthwala iTexas ngaphandle kokuba umntu andinike amanqaku abalulekileyo!
Nangona kunjalo, kunqabile ukufumana iipolls ezintathu zonke ezingaphandle ngexesha elinye. Alithandabuzeki elokuba ngelixa iTrump ihleli phambili eTexas imeko yangoku ijolise kuClinton naseTrump. Uluvo lwam ngokuvota kukuba kufuneka okungenani kubekho iipolls ezintathu ezizimeleyo ezibonisa imeko engalindelekanga. E-Texas ngoku kunjalo. Ukuvota okuzayo kwimeko yeLone Star kufuneka kujongwe ngononophelo ukumisela ukuba ingaba umkhwa ngumhlobo wephulo likaClinton okanye hayi kangakanani.
Kwinqanaba lesizwe lo mkhwa ngokwenene ungumhlobo kaHillary Clinton. Kukhula ukungakhululeki kwizangqa ze-GOP eWashington ukuba amandla kaClinton adityaniswe nobuthathaka bukaTrump anyuse amathuba okuba iiDemokhrasi ziphinde zilawule iNdlu yeeNgwevu kwaye ukuba umda kaClinton ongaphezulu kukaTrump mkhulu ngomhla wonyulo, iiDemokhrasi zinefoto ende kodwa lithuba lokwenyani ulawulo lweNdlu yabameli.
E-Washington, u-Sen Sen Democratic u-Charles Schumer, oza kunyulwa ngamxhelo-mnye ukuba akhokele i-Senate Democrats emva kokuba u-Sen.Harry Reid ethathe umhlala-phantsi, usebenza ngolunya kuhambo lokugqibela lokunyula ii-Democrats kwi-Senate. Okwangoku, uSomlomo weNdlu yeRiphabhlikhi uPaul Ryan ebeshukuma ngenkalipho ukuba azishiye kuTrump kwaye uthumela izibheno ezingxamisekileyo kubaxhasi beGOP ukuba banike imali kwiRepublicans yeNdlu, alumkisa ukuba angabekwa esichengeni ngu-Clinton omkhulu.
UClinton uziphumelele zontathu iingxoxo zikaMongameli. Ukwala kukaTrump ukuthi uyazamkela iziphumo zonyulo kuzakukhokelela ekubeni abantu abaninzi baseRiphabhlikhi babambe umva emva kokudluliselwa kwamandla ngoxolo okuyintliziyo yedemokhrasi yaseMelika, kwaye baziqhelanise noTrump-oya kuthi gqolo umjongela phantsi ngokujongela abavoti I-GOP ifuna kakhulu.
EWashington naseAustin, abacwangcisi beRiphabhlikhi kunye neDemokhrasi bayamangaliswa ngokufanayo ukuba iipolls ezintathu zakutshanje zonke zibonisa uClinton ngaphakathi kuluhlu olwahlayo eTexas. Ukuvota kwaseTexas kuyahambelana nokuvota kwamanye amazwe abomvu abuthathaka anje ngeArizona neGeorgia anika uClinton ithuba lokulwa ukuthwala loo mazwe, nto leyo ikhokelele iphulo likaClinton lokuxhasa ngezemali intengiso kunye ne-surrogate blitz kumazwe athi i-GOP ibithathe kancinci de kutshanje.
Iphulo likaClinton labele imali eyandayo yentengiso kula mazwe, kubandakanya iTexas. Emva kwezi ndawo i-Texas Democrats iyamangaliswa kwaye iyonwaba ukuba uClinton unethuba elingaphandle lokuthwala ilizwe leLone Star. Uninzi lunyanzelisa ngasese ukuba intengiso enkulu kaClinton ithengwe kwimithombo yeendaba yaseSpain eya kuthi ifikelele kubavoti baseSpain eTexas nakwilizwe lonke — iqhinga endivumayo kakhulu ngalo.
Kwangokunjalo, ngasemva kweziqhushumbisi ngoku kukho ukutyhala okukhulu kweedemokhrasi eziphambili zaseTexas zokugaya umgqatswa onamandla weSenate ukuba alwe nxamnye neRiphabhlikhi uSen Ted Cruz, kunye nomgqatswa onamandla wokuchasa u-Gov.Greg Abbott ukuba bazamela unyulo ngo-2018. UAbbott unokujamelana nobunzima kunye nokubakho kwasekuqaleni. Ukutyunjwa kweDemokhrasi ukubaphikisa ngequbuliso kujongeka ngathi kuyonwabisa, kunye nokubonisa kukaClinton ngokumangalisayo okunamandla kuvoto lwaseTexas.
Isizathu sokuba uClinton anyukele eTexas ayafana nophuhliso kumazwe amaninzi. Abasetyhini baseTexas abazithathi ngobubele izimvo zikaTrump kunye neengxabano ezibandakanya abantu basetyhini. I-Texas Hispanics iyothuswa zizithuko zikaTrump ngamaxesha athile, zibiza abaphambukeli ngabadlwenguli kunye nezaphuli-mthetho. Abavoti abancinci kwiikhampasi ezininzi ezibandakanya ezopolitiko eTexas, kunye nabavoti abaninzi abazimeleyo nabatyibilikayo, bayothuka kwaye bahlukaniswe ziingcinga zobuqhetseba zikaTrump kunye nokwala ukuthembisa ukuba uya kuzihlonipha iziphumo zonyulo.
AbaseRiphabhlikhi baseTexas bajongene neengxaki ezifanayo zokubeka iRiphabhlikhi kwilizwe lonke. Ngaba kufanelekile ukuba bamkhusele uTrump, oya kuthi ahlukane nabavoti abakhubekiswe zi-antics zakhe, okanye agxeke uTrump, oya kucaphukisa isiseko sakhe esikhulu senkxaso esingonelanga ukuba simnyule njengomongameli kodwa ngawaphi amaRiphabhlikhi angayikhathalelanga ingozi yabo kwi-GOP primaries?
Kwiintsuku ezizayo jonga ukuba yimalini iphulo likaClinton eliseTexas kunye nemali engakanani esetyenziswa yiRiphabhlikhi yesizwe ukukhusela ukukhokelela kwabo eTexas, kwaye ubukele abanye abaDemokhrasi abadumileyo eTexas ngequbuliso becinga ukusebenzela i-ofisi yelizwe liphela ngo-2018.
Akukho mntu wayenokuqikelela kwinyanga ephelileyo ukuba likho ithuba elibi lokuba uClinton aphathe iTexas. Uhlala edubule ixesha elide ngokuqinisekileyo ukuba aphathe iTexas kodwa amanenekazi kunye nenene, ilizwe leLone Star ngoku liyadlala.
