Assuming the leave the poll locations open, I wonder what excuse they will use if the 2 black democrats that are running, lose?

I wonder who the folk in Randolph County will blame when their taxes go up to fund the hemorrhaging polling locations?

Cruz may have to kiss Trump's ring and bend the knee in order to widen the gap on O'Rourke.

He already bent the knee long ago

this.


that's cruz AFTER trump insulted his family, his wife, and ridiculed and emasculated him for months:

Cruz is one of the most spineless, opportunistic politicians I've ever seen. He'd sell his soul without hesitation to make it to the White House.

Early life and family

Rafael Edward Cruz was born on December 22, 1970,[2][3] at Foothills Medical Centre[4][5] in Calgary, Alberta, to parents Eleanor Elizabeth (née Darragh) Wilson and Rafael Cruz.[6][7][8][9] Eleanor Wilson was born in Wilmington, Delaware. Wilson is of three-quarters Irish and one-quarter Italian descent, and she earned an undergraduate degree in mathematics from Rice University in the 1950s.[10]

Cruz's father, Rafael Cruz, was born and raised in Cuba. He left Cuba in 1957 to attend the University of Texas at Austin and obtained political asylum in the U.S. after his four-year student visa expired.[11] Rafael Cruz earned Canadian citizenship in 1973[4] and became a naturalized U.S. citizen in 2005.[8][12][13]

At the time of his birth, Ted Cruz's parents had lived in Calgary for three years and were working in the oil business as owners of a seismic-data processing firm for oil drilling.[8][14][15][16][17] Cruz has stated that he is the son of "two mathematicians/computer programmers."[18] In 1974, Rafael Cruz left the family and moved to Texas.[19] Later that year, Eleanor and Rafael Cruz reconciled and relocated the family to Houston.[4] Eleanor and Rafael Cruz divorced in 1997.[20] Ted Cruz has two older half-sisters, Miriam Ceferina Cruz and Roxana Lourdes Cruz, from his father's first marriage. Miriam died in 2011

And that's why he only has a 4-6 point lead over a Democrat in Texas.

Well, the national environment is perhaps D+8, and Texas really is no longer much more than R+(12-16).

In the most recent Senatorial election in Texas, John Cornyn won by 27.2 points. Abbot won the governor's race by 20.4 points, and he wasn't an incumbent.

In a state-wide, non-presidential election, I suspect the GOP to be at least at the upper end of your range (16) in this state, and maybe higher.

People just don't like Ted Cruz much, even here. He'll win because he is not the Democrat. I'm guessing he will win by 8 points or so. I think the polling favors Democrats. Polling doesn't fully account for the fact that Democrats aren't reliable voters.
