Texas for Hillary

[mudwhistle]

I find it unlikely Hillary will win Texas. Arizona on the hand...

3 percent Trump lead in a poll taken a week ago?
Trump has lost 4 percent in the last three weeks

The state is definitely trending towards Clinton. Give it a week and Texas will be labeled a tossup state

Can you imagine Trump having to fight to win Texas?

why is that hard to imagine? Texas has been flooded with the filthy illegals that are going to determine this election.

Texas is a Republican led state
Texas has voter ID

Why do you think Texas is allowing illegals to vote?

because they just like Maryland cant stop them. It would require knowing who was actually voting, and that is evidently a violation of constitutional rights.

Do you know what voter ID is?

Republicans sold it as the only way to stop voter fraud. Are you claiming it doesn't work?

No.
Any check against fraud helps.

I believed what he was saying. Unfortunately for him Carter is probably the worst President this country has ever had.

You're a moron. Carter was a victim of events. In a history course at CAL, one of the Blue Book midterm exams asked the question: Does man make history, or does history make the man.

You would have flunked.

You are a fool. Carter was the worst President this country has ever had and only a MORON like you would think otherwise.

What specific actions made Carter the worst president?

Balancing the budget?
Middle East peace accord?

How bout the economy in the toilet and inflation through the roof. He left a big mess that Reagan cleaned up.

OK ...now you are talking

Carter was only in office for four years and inflation went through the roof under Gerry Ford. Remember Ford's "Whip Inflation Now" buttons?
The economy was out of control and there was little Carter could do. Where Carter went wrong was he tried to balance the budget while the economy was tanking. If he had done like Reagan did and tripled the debt to shore up the economy, he would have looked like a hero

Reagan helped the economy by lowering taxes. Tax cuts are like the Sun to Democrats. They feel money belongs to the government and that government knows better how to invest (SPEND) it. When people have more money THEY spend it in the economy......which means massive growth. Democrats don't like growth. Growth means jobs and Democrats know job growth means less dependency on government.

It is a dilemma many Republicans are facing nationwide. They just can't pull the lever for Trump.
Some may vote Hillary
Others will just not vote for President
The whole state of Utah seems to be switching their vote to McMullin

All will make it easier for Clinton to win

True about Republicans and, unfortunately true, about Hillary winning.

The fact remains, Texas is highly unlikely to go blue in 2016. While the RCP link has Trump averaging +5.4 over Hillary, it also has Hillary +6.0 over Trump nationwide. If a +5.4 Trump lead in Texas gets the LWers all giddy about a Blue Texas, then why are they not shitting their pants over the fact Hillary is only +6 ahead of Trump nationwide?

RealClearPolitics - Election 2016 - General Election: Trump vs. Clinton vs. Johnson vs. Stein

What made me notice the 5.4% Trump lead in Texas was not the average, but the last two polls that had Trump +3% and +4%. That is showing a trend from three weeks ago where Trump was leading Texas by 7%

Women......stupid women....gave Hillary the election.

Your comment reflects why Clinton is winning.

She doesn't have a clue. She is simply repeating others, who also have no clue.

Speaking of not having a clue. That would be you.

You have yet to explain what Carter did to make him the worst President

Is it because you just have no idea what Carter actually did or that you are just repeating what others have told you?

The humiliation of America at the hands of a group of towel-headed mullahs.

We were their bitches while Obama was studying in madrases.

OK...good point

Looking back almost 40 years we can ask....what was the end result?
The end result was all the hostages were returned alive and unharmed, Carter lost the presidency because he looked "weak". A strong President would have gone in and kicked their asses. A military solution would have made Carter look like a hero but would have probably have resulted in hostage deaths

You leave off half the equation

Lower taxes and more government spending (by any equation, this means debt). Reagan ramped up military spending while he cut government revenue. Pouring borrowed money into the economy made Reagan look like a genius. But we paid a price for decades later

Truly tired stuff. Iran was not going to harm the hostages under any situation. It would have been suicidal not by Carter, but by the demand of the American people and by international condemnation.

Carter was in a position of power simply by being the US president, yet insisted in dealing with Iran from a position of weakness. This very thing invites the inevitable comparisons to Obama. No small wonder.

The hostages were returned alive and unharmed
Showing that Carter was correct in not overreacting to the situation like Republicans and the media were demanding. It cost him his job
If Carter had sent in special forces and 10-20 hostages got killed, he would be looked at as a hero

Everyone knew Carter was weak and vacillating. Still, he did attempt a military rescue mission which failed. They were deathly afraid of Reagan, and with good reason.

Carter image suffers not only from his failure, but in contrast to the successes of his successor.

Borrowing?

Don't you mean deficit spending?

Okay, every time a Democrat gets in office, they gut the Department of Defense. Then a Republican gets in office and they spend billions rebuilding it. Most of what Reagan spent wouldn't have been necessary if it hadn't been for the negligence of Jimmy Carter.

Sure blame his failings on Ford.

It took Reagan two years to clean up the mess Carter left. If as you say Ford left the mess it should have taken him two years to clean it up. That sure as hell didn't happen because the boob had no idea what to do.

It's the only country that let's people that hate us teach our kids to hate the United States and it's founders.

the operative word is let, or allow. that comes with the high price of defending ourselves and those other nations under our protective defense umbrella. they could give more back. people talk about how great european life is, how civilised.

the high price of defending those other nations under our protective defense umbrella is a lot, when we need the dough here at home to fix security and black lives genocide everyday in chicago. there are so many other inner cities plagued by this, but let's start with my home town in chicago. please and soon.

we allow our parents to teach their kids as they see fit because other countries don't.
we can always be strong as a nation and still have great political dissent. everyone was on the same page on 911. the first one, not benghazi.
