Polls.

 

LOL

 

C'mon man, you should put more faith in polls that intentionally under represent Republicans and ignore whether or not the people being polled are likely to actually vote!

President Donald Trump and former Vice President Joe Biden are locked in a tight contest in Texas, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released Wednesday.

“Too tight to tell in Texas,” Quinnipiac University polling analyst Tim Malloy said. “It’s a huge battleground state, it’s neck and neck, so this may be the most important state of all — and it’s right dead even. What drama.”

In the survey of 1,166 self-identified registered voters in Texas conducted May 28 to June 1, Trump had 1 percentage point over Biden — 44% to 43% — five months out from the general election.

Changes are coming. It’s only a matter of time, not just with Texas but the whole south 

 

ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — For the generation of Americans not yet old enough to drive, the demographic future has arrived. 

For the first time, nonwhites and Hispanics were a majority of people under age 16 in 2019, an expected demographic shift that will grow over the coming decades, according to figures released by the U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday.

“We are browning from bottom up in our age structure,” said William Frey, a senior fellow at The Brookings Institution. “This is going to be a diversified century for the United States, and it’s beginning with this youngest generation.”

More from that story, white people not having kids 

 

At the same time, the number of non-Hispanic whites in the U.S. has gotten smaller in the past decade as deaths surpassed births in this aging demographic, according to the Census Bureau population estimates. 

Since 2010, the number of whites who aren’t Hispanic had dropped by more than 16,600 people. But the decline has been escalating in the past three years, with the number of non-Hispanic whites dropping by more than a half million people from 2016 to 2019, according to the Census Bureau population estimates.

In 2019, a little under 40% of the total U.S. population was either nonwhite or Hispanic. Non-Hispanic whites are expected to be a minority of the U.S. population in about 25 years.

A natural decrease from the number of deaths exceeding births, plus a slowdown in immigration to the U.S., contributed to the population drop since 2010 for non-Hispanic whites, whose median age of 43.7 last year was by far the highest of any demographic group. If these numbers hold for the 2020 census being conducted right now, it will be the first time since the first decennial census in 1790 that there has been a national decline of whites, Frey said.

“It’s aging. Of course, we didn’t have a lot of immigration, that has gone down,” Frey said. “White fertility has gone down.”

It all comes down to the EC.  

 

 

Five times a candidate has won the popular vote and lost the election. Andrew Jackson in 1824 (to John Quincy Adams); Samuel Tilden in 1876 (to Rutherford B. Hayes); Grover Cleveland in 1888 (to Benjamin Harrison); Al Gore in 2000 (to George W. Bush); Hillary Clinton in 2016 (to Donald J. Trump). [who yelled rigged election, until he won the EC]

 

Hanging Chad's and a deep hatred of Democrats, especially Hillary, have led us to the Red States electing a snake oil salesman Reality TV "star" New York Elitist. The same type of people they really hate!!!  (and who wants to be king)

Ted Cruz sounds the alarm on Republicans losing Texas in 2020 saying 'it's all over if they win' as Donald Trump holds microscopic lead over Joe Biden

  • Sen. Ted Cruz warned the Texas GOP State Convention that if Democrats win the Lone Star State the White House and Senate are gone 
  • 'If the Democrats win Texas it's all over,' Cruz said in a video address to virtual convention-goers, which he posted to Twitter Sunday 
  • He recalled the 'all-out political assault' that occurred two years ago when he was almost unseated by Democrat Beto O'Rourke 
  • 'Every one of those crazed angry leftists that showed up in 2018, they're showing up in 2020 and they're even angrier,' Cruz warned
  • The Texas Republican also pointed to the Texas polls that show Democrat Joe Biden uncomfortably close to President Donald Trump in a reliably red state  
  • 'The last five Texas polls in a row have shown President Trump and Joe Biden in a virtual tie,' Cruz said. 'This is a real race'

Mary Tyler "Molly" Ivins (August 30, 1944 – January 31, 2007) was an American newspaper columnist, author, political commentator, and humorist. Born in California and raised in Texas, Ivins attended Smith College and the Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism. She began her journalism career at the Minneapolis Tribune where she became the first female police reporter at the paper. Ivins joined The Texas Observer in the early 1970s and later moved to The New York Times. She became a columnist for the Dallas Times Herald in the 1980s, and then the Fort Worth Star-Telegram after the Times Herald was sold and shuttered. The column was subsequently syndicated by Creators Syndicate and carried by hundreds of newspapers. A biography of Ivins, Molly Ivins: A Rebel Life, was co-written in 2010 by PEN-USA winning presidential biographer Bill Minutaglio and W. Michael Smith.

No need to change anything,

 

it will be a good rebuke for him come November.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It's Molly Ivins not Molly Evans. More importantly there is no such thing as the Democratic Party. it's the Democrat Party. Don't tell Tiberius, let him slop around in his ignorance. As usual.

That Trump has to defend Texas is simply amazing to me.  Texas hasn't voted Democratic in a Presidential election since 1976. 

 

The current average of polls for the 2020 election have Texas leaning Republican with Trump leading 48.6% to Biden 46.4.  That's 2.2%.   In 2008, Texas voted Republican by almost 12%.  In 2012, Texas voted for the Republican candidate by almost 16%.   In 2016, Trump carried Texas by 9% points.
