@BillDanieluqnf@PpollingNumbers If a vote for any Democrat is a vote for communism, communism will likely get more votes this midterm than the republicans.
republicans need a better strategy than name calling and insults.
I dislike the far left stuff, but Trump has made the republicans radioactive.
@BillDanieluqnf@PpollingNumbers Yes I agree. The Dems are not helping themselves with some of their lefty candidates.
but it’s gonna be tough for the republicans to capitalize on this when Trump has gone off the rails and Repubs have nutcases like Paxton.
@JArthurMerritt@NBCNews The final polls had Cruz beating Beto. Talarico is doing better in the polls than Beto did.
It looks like it will be close.
polls show a tight race, as do the betting markets.
@BillDanieluqnf@PpollingNumbers There’s a boy who cried wolf problem.
Dems call repubs fascist and nazi; Repubs call Dems commies.
People tune it out because it’s hyperbole. Then if it eventually becomes true, nobody’s listening.
Anyway these are 20th century insults, young voters may not know these terms.
@Richard90618832 Repubs better take these polls seriously and find a strategy to beat Talarico.
Talarico is a dubious fit for Texas, but Paxton is so flawed that the race is very close.
@Richard90618832 Why? Voters came close to electing Beto in 2018 when he was running against Cruz. Cruz is a far stronger opponent than Paxton. Paxton may win, but Talarico has a real chance.
Talarico is distancing himself from his former “left wing nutbag” self. it may work.
@Martin396929701@ADRWC Violence belongs on tv but not in real life. Sex belongs in real life but not on tv.
So the “rule” seems fine.
Joking aside, I have no problem with tv showing either sex or violence.
@BillDanieluqnf@PpollingNumbers the lunatic ideas some democrats are embracing hurt them at the polls.
given trumps recent promise to give 5k to all citizens and also buying Intel stock, Repubs aren’t in a good position to criticize the Dems on socialism.
pot, meet kettle. both sides deserve to lose.
@ZachFOCO@PpollingNumbers Trump got 49.8 and Harris 48.3; so it was off 3 points for trump and under 2 for Harris. margin of error type stuff.
YouGov isn’t the best poll, but all the Paxton-Talarico polls show a tight race.
Paxton may win, but it looks very close.
Authors go after Kavanaugh as “disingenuous” for quoting incendiary things said **about him** by Senate Democrats while ignoring that Trump had said “acidic” and “denigrating” things like when he “belittled the North Korean leader Kim Jong-in.” Really.
