    This is the new strategy? I assume you are disgusted that Trump doesn’t entirely fund his own campaigns? You guys make arguments that a 4th grader could see through, yet you lap it up and think it’s smart enough to post on a message board for others to see how clueless you are. Get a brain moran.

    I guess this is how SHS can hold a press conference and claim that “An overwhelming majority of Americans voted for Trump”, without fear that anyone on their side will question it. They know how dumb their supporters are and exploit it every day.

    "That makes [him] smart."

    That's how this works, right?

    Guess cruz is only up by 5% now. Hopefully it makes Cruz sweat a little.

    If you look at the data Cruz is going to win because of Rural Texas:

    Code:
    AREA....................................
                                Dallas        South
                         East   FtWrth Houstn Centrl West   South
     
    O'Rourke             26%    50%    53%    56%    23%    53%
    Cruz                 68     47     45     40     72     43
    SMONE ELSE(VOL)       2      -      -      1      2      1
    DK/NA                 4      3      2      3      4      4

    Beto has a pretty big lead in the cities, but he is getting crush by all the non big cities.

    Heh. You brought the Canadian system into the debate. What works for one country (assuming Canada's does "work") does not mean that it is the right thing or appropriate for another country.

    Well, I was mostly joking. :0

    But more seriously, if you ever donate to any cause, expect the phone calls to haunt you forever after that. Just another reason to be a Grinch.

    Maybe the most amazing thing about this chart is that Reagan's deficits -- much criticized at the time and later -- look like nothing in context.

    So, Abbott and Patrick are both running unopposed, right? Because I haven't seen or heard a single ad for Lupe Valdez or Mike Collier. Hell, I had to check my sample ballot just to see who was running against Patrick. I also had to check to see who, if anyone, was running against my US rep (Kevin Brady). Apparently it's someone named Steven David.

    Beside Beto, are the Democrats in Texas even trying? As an anti-Trump moderate, I'm wanting to send a message to the Republicans, but the Dems aren't making it easy.

    People too poor to pay taxes will vote for someone because they're scared the other guy will raise their taxes. Can someone explain to them that 15% of $0 is the same as 30% of $0. Poor ignorant hicks, I disgusted by them and feel sorry for them all at the same time.

    Yeah it's ridiculous. I don't even answer my phone anymore and I have that spam filter thing too.

    IIRC, Reagan's increased taxes were mostly (maybe only) increased gasoline taxes, and with oil prices at historic lows, no one noticed.

    There is an option for voting straight Libertarian. But you might want to check that the machine agrees with what you selected, at the end.

    You are the one that brought up an idiotic theory for which I provided an example to disprove it. Where is your evidence? Where is your facts to back up what you are saying?. Or are you throwing **** against the wall hoping it sticks.
