Hey Whirly, Texas is "TRENDING" Hillary!

[Guest040616]

If this story ended up being true, it would have to be the Texas political story of the decade and perhaps the century.

I hope ol' Trendaway enjoys this story. I sure as hell did.

From the Houston Chronicle:

Is Texas turning blue? (Don’t think so.)

Is Texas turning purple? (Check back in 2014.)

But if you believe the latest poll from Public Policy Polling, a Democratic firm with a track record for accurate surveys, Hillary Clinton could make the Lone Star State competitive in the 2016 presidential race.

According to PPP, the soon-to-be-former Secretary of State holds a 1 percentage point lead over Florida Sen. Marco Rubio (46 percent to 45 percent) in Texas, a 2 point lead over New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie (45 percent to 43 percent) and a (comparatively) massive 8 point lead over Texas’ own Republican governor, Rick Perry, 50 percent to 42 percent.

“If Clinton is the 2016 nominee, she could conceivably expand the electoral map for Democrats in deep-red Texas,” said Dean Debnam, President of Public Policy Polling.
Republicans have won Texas by double digits in every presidential race since 1996.

Jimmy Carter (in 1976) was the last Democrat to carry the Lone Star State.

The big reason for Clinton’s strong showing is that Texas voters give her higher favorable ratings than any of the state’s leading elected officials: Perry, Sen. John Cornyn or Sen. Ted Cruz. She also has a higher approval rating than President Barack Obama.

Among Democrats, Clinton’s approval stands at 91 percent, while Independents view her favorably, 52 percent vs. 41 percent.

In a 2016 general election match-up, Texas moderates favor Clinton over Perry, 76 percent to 17 percent. Independents side with Clinton, 56 percent to 34 percent. And there’s a mass gender gap. Texas women prefer her by 54 percent to 38 percent, while men give Perry a 1 point edge.

PPP’s Tom Jensen points out that the Texas poll is the second in a “deep red” state showing her competitive in 2016, following a similar poll in Kentucky last month.

There’s good reason why Perry fares the worst in a hypothetical Texas match-up against Clinton. As we’ve reported before, most Texas Republicans don’t want him to run again for president (70 percent say no, vs. 19 percent who want him to try for a second time), and just 4 percent say they’d vote for him in a GOP primary (ahead of only New Mexico Gov. Susanna Martinez among nine potential candidates tested).

If Rubio or Christie get the GOP nomination, and run against Hillary, there will be no choice, just like there wasn't this time. Same old, same old. And Hillary will win.

And StupidOldSelfAdmittedLyingFart would vote for someone who doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning and then spend the next 4 years bitching and moaning about the winner. He would then brag endlessly about not voting for the President. And to top off his shit sandwich, StupidOldSelfAdmittedLyingFart will continue to be a StupidOldSelfAdmittedLyingFart ! Same old, same old.

Tell me, when both candidates are determined to destroy freedom, how do I choose? Since you don't care about freedom, it's easy for you. I'm not going to vote to lose my country. Sorry. You can do that for me.

And you were only 3 minutes late and 1 brain short before you responded to your corrected post. Therein lies the story of a BigIdiotTex who cannot tell truth from fiction.

Just one of many!

Name them, BigIdiotTex. Or put that one you quoted in context.

You're a real man of honor, Whiny!

That's why you honorably suck cock at the Salina bus station.

[CuteOldGuy]

Unless you were there looking for it, you wouldn't know. And if you were there, you probably mistook BigIdiotTex for me, because I'm usually at the Wild West getting lap dances when I'm in Salina. So you may need glasses, because you obviously aren't sure who you're getting when you're there. So be careful, and safe, after all, you are the . . .

DIPSHIT OF THE YEAR 2013

What is it with you and Hillary? Do you have some fetish for haggard-looking shrews with cankles?

She couldn't beat an unknown Barack Obama in 2008 in the Democratic primary after spending 15+ years in the public eye. What makes you think she will do better in the general election when Republicans can vote?

In October 2016, she'll be 69 years old. That's the same age Reagan was when he took office, and he was the oldest man to ever become President. But Reagan was a man and he was good-looking - still had the movie star looks.

Life isn't fair to women in that regard. And, like it or not, voters tend to go for younger and good-looking candidates.

Except you maybe.
