Especially when you lose a county clerk job in KENTUCKY. That’s like losing a shooting competition blind man. All you really need to do is show up. Now what was all that talk about voting out of spite?
With a little over half of the votes counted in TX, Beto leads by a few points. I figured Cruz would be blowing him out by this point. Things might get interesting here after all.....
I think there’s a good chance the dems don’t even take the house tonight. I’m waiting to Harris County votes to start getting counted. Beto has an uphill battle even if he’s been ahead.
Yeah there's a lot of rural counties that haven't reported yet, but neither has Harris Country. And Beto has won big in the urban areas. I think just by him keeping it close, will be enough of a victory to keep him in the spotlight and his name around in 2020. I'll be happy if he can keep it close (like by 7-10 points).
It's early. There are substantially more dems leading in republican house districts (33), than there are republicans winning in dem districts (3).
Yes it’s early but the polling didn’t predict it like this. 538 had it at like 86% yesterday and now it’s down to about half. Like I’ve been saying, I don’t understand how polling works. Are people lying to pollsters?
First off, where did Crown write that? Second, Fake News! Now, the one outlet I can count on, TiB, has fallen in like CNN and Fox?!
It’s just Russians fucking up your country from afar again. Let it happen. Hackers are handing your next presidency to Kicked In The Nuts Guy.
Just looked and I guess he deleted it or something? Because I literally just quoted him and then the post went away.... As xray said, I also question how polling works. Especially exit polling. Where I am, it's heavily GOP. If someone with a clipboard and a camera asked be after I voted, I'd either lie, or say no comment.
I’m not even talking about exit polling. Commentators have conceded no less than half a dozen times that this is not a “blue wave”. How were they so certain? The polling was very, very in favor of Hillary as well. Either polling needs to be re-evaluated, or people are lying to pollsters.
Depending on where you look right now you're going to get different results, and then you can look at the same place five minutes later and it's gonna change.
At least from what all I saw, they had predicted that the Dem's would win the house, but I didn't take the dem chances to win it as an indicator of how many seats they would win. For what it's worth, fox is now calling that the dems win the house and CNN is calling the GOP taking the senate.... I think that's more just them doing damage control though, since again it's still way too early. In my opinion. Also, NPR is projecting (D) Ilan Omar to win in Minn., making her the first female Muslim elected to congress in US history. *edit* NBC projecting (D) Jared Polis to win Gov. of Colorado, becoming the first openly gay man to win a gov. race. Now what would be something is if an openly gay Rep won, or even ran.....
I've mention before that I did polling for the DNC, I know in their case they slanted the polls in the way they framed the questions. Usually anyone not left leaning would get pissed off and hang up due to the bias of the questions. They would then come away with results heavily favoring their slant.
What's the over/under on how many times he's already typed out that tweet before quickly deleting it since one of his staffers looked curiously over his shoulder?
Can anyone explain to me where you can find enough soap to feel clean again after casting a vote for Ted Cruz?
