I would like to think that this is highly unlikely.

Kamala Harris Could Break 32-Year Record in Texas, Survey Suggests

Kamala Harris is on track to secure the Democratic Party's best presidential election performance in Texas since 1992 according to preliminary data from the Cooperate Election Study, a major new survey fielded by YouGov.

In Texas the poll gave Donald Trump a four-point lead, with 51 percent of the vote from likely voters against 47 percent for Harris. If this transpires on November 5 it would be the closest fought contest in the state since 1992, when Republican George H.W. Bush won the state against Democrat Bill Clinton with 40.6 percent of the vote to 37.1 percent, though he lost the election overall.

The Democrats have improved their performance in the last two presidential elections in Texas. Barack Obama lost the state by 15.8 points in 2012, but this fell to nine percent with Hillary Clinton in 2016 and just 5.6 percent for Joe Biden in 2020. As a result some Democrats have suggested they could flip Texas, with former gubernatorial candidate Beto O'Rourke describing it as "the sleeper battleground state" during a recent interview.

In 2008 Obama lost Texas by 11.8 percentage points, down from the 22.9 point defeat Democratic candidate John Kerry suffered in 2004. In 2000 Democrat Al Gore lost the seat by 21.3 points, as did Bill Clinton in 1996 by 4.9 points. The last time a Democratic presidential candidate won Texas was in 1976, when Jimmy Carter defeated Gerald Ford by a 3.2 point margin.

The Cooperate Election Study releases a major survey on America's voting intentions before every presidential election. This year, working with YouGov, they polled 78,247 American adults, including 6,473 in Texas and 48,732 likely voters, between October 1 and 25..................

We'll see.
America should be run for the benefit of Americans, not for foreigners, not for corporations.

This election? Nah, she won't win.

She may lose by less than previous candidates, but it will be due to the abortion issue. Which is a sad thing.

2nd place is still last place.

I'm hoping that she loses by a landslide! 

The race I'm concerned about is Cruz/Allred

When a Republican Senate gives $1 billion to Planned Parenthood over 2021-2022, and a Republican House gives them another $1 billion over 2023-2024, is it any wonder how the Dems were able to amass that much campaign cash?  Seriously.  $2 billion of taxpayer money since the last presidential election.  Republicans are idiots.

Yes, the majority are, that's why I'm really praying and hoping that Cruz retains his seat.

I listened to Ted Cruz's podcast wherein he predicted what would happen if the Dems ever own the Senate, House and Presidency.

1. Immediately abolish the filibuster.
2. Add a minimum of 4 justices to the Supreme Court
3. Federalize control over all federal elections.
4. Make Puerto Rico and DC states to get 4 new Dem Senators
5. Grant amnesty to the +20 million illegals.

Since Texas has 3-4 million illegals, the state will forever be a blue state and no Republican could ever win a statewide office.

These are designed to keep the Dems in power and transform the country into a permanent Democrat Socialist country.

This is what is at stake in this election.

And some more on this subject

3 Ways the Left Plans to Stack Every Branch of Government
Ben Johnson | October 31, 2024
The Daily Signal

Elections have become not merely choices of policy change but referenda on the full-scale, top-to-bottom destruction of America’s form of government and way of life.

Democratic Party candidates in the 2024 election have proposed policies that would radically, and irrevocably, alter America’s constitutional order. Liberal candidates have endorsed plans that would fundamentally transform all three branches of government, assure permanent left-wing power, and effect the domination of American politics by a polarized ideological minority.

1. Stacking the Supreme Court
2. Stacking the Congress
3. Stacking the Presidency

We must get all the votes we can as there are a lot of TDS-inflicted who refuse to stop the transformation of our country

This is what I've been stating for quite some time.  This is why I am so worried about Cruz retaining his seat. It's not like there are numerous conservative seats in the Senate.

Final result from the Texas Secretary of State website:

Donald J. Trump/JD Vance (Rep.) 6,375,318 votes, 56.22%

Kamala D. Harris/Tim Walz (Dem.) 4,806,441 votes, 42.38%

Nearly 14% spread, no where close to what this article was trying to sell.

Remember, dudes and babes, the Russians, Iranians, North Koreans, and other bad actors are trying to eff with us.  That's why we need to corroborate and verify everything we see online.
