critique on "Trump’s Weakness in Texas Is a Fluke"

I was searching through the news earlier today that I came across an interesting post from Texasmonthly. Lately with the whole voting for president process and the close competition between Trump and Clinton in Texas, I was wondering if Texas is really have a chance to become a democrat state or its still republic but the republicans just simply prefer to vote for Clinton over Trump. Well, "Trump’s Weakness in Texas Is a Fluke" was a really good post answering to my questions! The author, Mann, kind of starts by a passive aggressive way and giving hope to democrats at the beginning but then just crashes the reality on them, which I really found interesting. Mann points out several occasions proving that Texas is far long from becoming a democrat state and one of his reasoning, which I found quite funny, is: "It’s also worth remembering that most statewide offices in Texas come up for election in non-presidential years in which the electorate generally tends to be whiter and older—in other words, more Republican"(Mann). But he also mentions that the Latino voters are increasing daily and it means more votes for democrats so I got the feeling that he is bias and is not just trying to say one group is going to be dominating forever, but just simply pointing out the facts and information available about both parties. So go and check this post out and see if you have the same idea or a totally different point of view!

critique on "Bringing Democracy to Texas State"

In this post I'm going to be critiquing on "Bringing Democracy to Texas State"! This article is about bringing in a new series of events at Texas State University called The Discourse in Democracy series which has was initiated by a political science professor, Dr. Kenneth Grasso. When I first read the article I was impressed by how determine the author is that students will enjoy this opportunity, even later on in the article author quotes Dr. Inbody, political science senior lecturer says: "It is an especially valuable opportunity for students of all majors and backgrounds to increase their political understanding.” but there is no evidence if the students really like this! There isn't a single interview with a student or a data chart which says for example this percentage of students are interested. I Personally think it is a great opportunity but with having so much homework and exams that have been piled up I don't think many students would be able to attend those events. Maybe if there were some more information available on students input on these series of event it would've made the article more student friendly rather than the University is doing it no matter if students like it or not.
P.S I did not mean to offend anyone or say someone is right or wrong, this post is just been made for critique assignment for my Texas Government class. Thank you!
