  1. Get the popcorn. This gonna get good.
  2. Mariia Butina got plenty of body fluids.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. What? Beto ONLY needs to get 10% more of the rural vote than Trump did? Explain please.
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. Mueller is our best hope for this being resolved. He needs to give us the necessary facts to remove Trump. Now.
  12. White trash put Trump in office.
  13. I'm worried about all of us.
  14. Trump has pretended to be moral, honest, intelligent and a patriot. He isn't.
  15. Defend what Trump did today. It is far more important what Trump does and says than a tweet from Hillary. Catch up.
  16. The missing children have it.
  17. Austin went 70% for Clinton and you are in denial or are ignorant if you believe Austin's citizens are socialists.
  18. Trump has neither a high IQ or good judgement.
  19. Get a room.
  20. Bullshit. These are not Beto stances. Fuck you.
  21. He's following our great leader's example.
  22. The policy in the Obama presidency was when illegal aliens commit crimes they are sent back. Sounds like you agree with that. The current ICE policy is not only illegal but downright Un-American. In January, 2018, my Hispanic contractor was followed by an ICE vehicle as he was leaving Home Depot in Austin headed to work. A few blocks from his destination 3 ICE vehicles stopped him and surrounded his vehicle. He was questioned about whether he was a United States citizen for 20 minutes. He was born in Austin, he gave them his birthday and told them he was born at Brackenridge, he had to give them his childhood address and they asked him to name all the schools he attended as a child. He of course was let go. This kind of action is race profiling by police. This is the bullshit that Sheriff Arpaio did which is illegal. Fuck ICE.
  23. Are you aware that up until the 1960's when divorce became more common, conservative churches like the Baptist church and the Churches of Christ would ban people who got divorces from their churches?
  24. The ACA was passed by Congress. Expound on how it was shoved down your throat.
  25. You are correct. And a 3.85 at UT.
