You'd think the low-turnout, voter ID state that elected lunatics like Dan Patrick, Ted Cruz, the prancing dipshit Rick Perry and the criminal Ken Paxton would be the safest state for the GOP (Grab Our Pussy) in November.
But now, less than a week before the polls open, it looks like the plague that is Drumpf may finally be the straw that breaks the GOPs decades long GRIP over the nation's second largest state (and longest border with Mexico).
Two new polls indicate that Texas is now almost a dead heat. And with Clinton poised to dump big bucks and organization into Texas, Drumpf may go from dead heat to dead meat.
The following story is from one of the biggest pro-Drumpf supporting spin rag out there, the Washington EXAMINER...the same bastion of fairness that so often appears in the posts in this forum NOT authored by us lefties!
They try to spin it, but guess what...Drumpf could easily fuck up again and lose the biggest red state of them all.
Yee Haw!

New polling: Texas presidential could be up for grabs
By RYAN LOVELACE (@LOVELACERYAND) • 10/18/16 5:09 PM
Multiple polls released on Tuesday showed a competitive presidential race in Texas, usually a reliably Republican state.
A University of Houston poll showed Donald Trump leading Hillary Clinton by 3 percentage points, 41-38, with a 3-percentage-point margin of error. Nearly three-in-ten independent voters labeled themselves undecided in the survey, while 11 percent of all respondents had yet to make up their mind.
The University of Houston poll surveyed 1,000 Texans from Oct. 7-15 by landline telephones and cell phones.
A SurveyMonkey/Washington Post online poll unveiled on Tuesday found public opinon in Texas to be similar to the Houston poll. The SurveyMonkey poll found Trump ahead of Clinton by 2 percentage points, 48-46, with 5 percent of respondents answering that they had no opinion.

The SurveyMonkey poll surveyed 1,332 likely Texan voters online from Oct. 8-16. No margin of error was calculated for the survey because such a figure is only applicable to randomly sampled surveys.
The Republican nominee has won every presidential election in Texas by double digits this century. While Clinton's effort to turn Texas blue appears to remain a tall task in 2016, the possibility of a single-digit victory for Trump in the Lone Star State is increasing. Real Clear Politics' average of Texan polling shows Trump up 5.8 percentage points as of this article's publication on Tuesday.
