That and what the candidate is saying. Even if the polls are total shit, you cannot tell me there isn't a massive undervote for Ted in this polling. Abbott is doing exactly how you would expect a popular Red state Gov would do in a Red State. Why is Cruz so far behind him?

He's not!

   My best guess @Frank Cannon :  Trump, the fiercest of all warriors,  didn't spend 18 months saying BS about "Absent Minded Abbott'.

Like you said...  Cruz ran a pathetic 2nd place.

Running a bad national campaign is way different than running a bad state wide campaign* especially since his is an incumbent. They are two different things. The yard sign/bumper sticker issue still has me worried. It's a terrible move.

@corbe

Ahhhh,I see you already have your alibi in place in case Teddy Boy loses. If he loses it will be TRUMP's fault,not HIS fault.

Got it.

And you DARE to call anyone else a groupie?

   @sneakypete There is no doubt in my mind Sen. Cruz will win reelection in Texas, not by the 15~20% I dreamed about 6 months ago but comfortable enough, 5~8% and my second promise to you, My Friend, is if he does lose it rests on his shoulders ONLY,  not anyone else.

$20 to TBR kitty on this.

@corbe

It makes not one iota of difference if he wins with 99 percent of the vote or 1 percent of the vote. A win is a win,and a loss is a loss.

@corbe   You forgot the rifle in the back of that F150.

At the end of the day...IMHO...Robert Francis O'Rourke will end up in the same trash heap of failed Liberal candidates that Abortion Barbie now resides in.
The libs/dems of today are the Quislings of former years. The cowards who would vote a fraud into office in exchange for handouts from the devil.

Don't be cocksure.  If the SAME POLL that shows Cruz and O'Rourke tied shows Abbott leading by double digits,  that's a sure sign that Cruz is in trouble.   And when the poll shows in excess of 20 percent are undecided,  that spells even more trouble because a well-known incumbent like Cruz would never have such a high percentage of undecideds if he were in fact sailing to re-election.

Polls showed Kerry beating Bush...Clinton beating Trump.  How much stock do you really want to put into polls?

David Dewhurst at one point was so far ahead of Cruz 6 years ago that Ted's poll numbers were at 15%.

How did that work out for David Dewhurst.  The vast majority of Texans reject Liberalism.  We have small pockets that are Liberal enclaves...buy by and large the state is bright red.  And we don't like all the Hollyweird types pouring money in from out of state.

Outsiders from northern states don't really understand Texas politics.

But it's fun watching you try to prognosticate.

@Jazzhead

I seriously doubt it. Cruz still has the same supporters he had before. Those people are locked in,and there were enough of them to put him in office. The odds of O'Rourke pulling in all the remaining votes is next to zero.

  • I was a "conspiracy theorist". Now I'm just right.
LOL. That's bullshit and you know it. No rules were changed.
Granted that North Dakota is not exactly considered a political powerhouse, but the reason the map shows North Dakota in Black was rule changes that stopped any presidential primary in the state. The National GOP changed the rules and PooF! No primary.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Sadly, any more, I think the purpose of polls is to set the point spread in the voters minds, so when the fraud takes the tally there, no one cries foul.
