  1. The race was determined long before the primaries were over and before the convention but unlike Hillary, who was much closer to beating Obama in 2008, Bernie stayed in the race until the convention which was divisive. Hillary dropped out before the Democratic convention in 2008 and it made for a smooth convention. A large number were so butt-hurt that the #NeverHillary bullshit got popular and those Bernie bots were successfully targeted by Russians and stats show they helped elect Trump. Clinton got 16.8 million primary votes and Sanders got 13.2 million. That's 56% to 44%, a landslide. I remember the Bernie idiots claiming Hillary was a Republican. They refused to vote for her by either voting for Trump, staying home for voting for Stein. I wonder if they are happy with who they help elect. In my opinion they are as guilty as the Republicans and they deserve to own it. I hope you are still laughing when Bernie loses again.
  2. Bernie isn't going to be the Democratic nominee in 2020. Hillary Clinton beat him badly in 2016 for the nomination and those millions and millions of supporters are not going to vote for him in Democratic primaries. Bernie is very popular among young progressive Democrats and they don't get out and vote. Keep wishing and hoping though.
  3. Link?
  4. Beto is not going to win by converting these type of Republican voters. Texas is not going to go blue by converting them either. Beto's and Texas' hope of going blue is with increased voter turnout, specifically among Hispanics.
  5. Trumpsters: But what about the emails as Trump sells us to Russia.
  6. Get the popcorn. This gonna get good.
  7. Mariia Butina got plenty of body fluids.
  8. This. There are enough Republicans who want marijuana legalization to put Beto over the top. In addition, this stance would increase the millennial vote which is already going for Beto.
  9. I'm not making fun of anyone either. Here is the deal: Trump got 52.2% and Clinton got 43.2%, so yes Trump won Texas by 9%. Using those numbers for O'Rourke vs Cruz, O'Rourke would need to pic up 4.6% statewide, resulting in O'Rourke: 43.2% + 4.6% = 47.8% and Cruz: 52.2% - 4.6% = 47.6%. All this is assuming over 4% goes to others. When you lose by 9% you don't need to swing 10% your way to win but rather > 4.5%. I'm done.
  10. Trump won the entire state by 9% so Beto would need to have a 10% swing of all of Texas, not just the rural vote.
  11. What? Beto ONLY needs to get 10% more of the rural vote than Trump did? Explain please.
  12. This election is monumental if Beto wins. It is disgusting that all of rural Texas will vote for him for one reason: the R in front of his name.
  13. You have that right. I teach college students who have Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2, and Pre-Calculus credit on their high school transcript whose math level is middle school. Many couldn't make a 50 on an Algebra 1 final exam.
  14. I really hate that you are right. I've been an educator for almost 5 decades and Hope Springs Eternal keeps me going. I keep thinking people will see the light, use critical thinking skills, hell, just thinking skills and realize how fucked we are with Trump. Roy Moore did lose in bright red Alabama. With hundreds of millions of people I can't believe we elected a dotard.
  15. Lifelong Democrat here starting with working in the McGovern campaign while at UT. As for as "78% support free public university tuition", what is the price of free tuition to every public university in the United States? Seems it would be astronomical, impossible to fund. I can see free public junior college tuition but all public university tuition seems impossible to me.
  16. Mueller is our best hope for this being resolved. He needs to give us the necessary facts to remove Trump. Now.
  17. White trash put Trump in office.
  18. I'm worried about all of us.
  19. Trump has pretended to be moral, honest, intelligent and a patriot. He isn't.
  20. Defend what Trump did today. It is far more important what Trump does and says than a tweet from Hillary. Catch up.
  21. The missing children have it.
  22. Austin went 70% for Clinton and you are in denial or are ignorant if you believe Austin's citizens are socialists.
  23. Trump has neither a high IQ or good judgement.
  24. Get a room.
  25. Bullshit. These are not Beto stances. Fuck you.
