    What? I don’t give a shit what Trump says. The passage of Obamacare led to a big increase in my employer provided health insurance employee contributions and deductible and hurt those buying individual plans even worse. That’s what I got for voting for Obama and him coddling Muslim terrorists in Iran because of his naïveté.

    Yeah, that sucks.

    Just so you know, voting for Republicans is voting to save Obamacare. Don't listen to me, though, that's what Republicans are saying.

    It’s a legit concern to be a Republican, not like Cruz, think Beto is a good guy who has appeal but not want to vote for someone under the thumb of Chuck Schumer, Diane Feinstein, Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, etc. Cruz helped get us the tax cuts, Kavanaugh and Gorsuch. When I voted for Obama, I got him cozying up to Islamic assholes in Iran and Obamacare. 

    Trump just said Obamacare is good. This must be a confusing time for some.

  3. Go here for rules.

    Well than at least get your facts on the context straight.  Brisket isn't Jewish. His ethnic group was not just targeted in a mass shooting on that day.

    Maybe he figured there were some lawyers in the group, you know, probabilities and all that.

    Hopefully a Culberson victory and keep TX-7 Republican since George HW Bush. It will blow my mind if Lizzie Fletcher wins. 

    It would be a surprise but how would that be mind-blowing? The district went from Romney +21 to Clinton +1. Trump is hated in that district (Culberson won by 12 even while Clinton won the district) and Culberson has happily attached himself to Trump policies. I'd call it about a 55% chance of a Culberson win.

    Alright, well, when we come up to Lubbock next week and our doing the guns down after every touchdown I shall not expect a penalty or to hear a single Tech fan bitch about it. What you don't understand is that for the longest time, it is the only hand sign in sports that is fair game. Everything else is taunting....except the horns down, that is all good.

    This has a lot to do with it, too.

    There was a point in time where we had been flagged for guns down, we had been flagged for horns up, and no opponent had ever been flagged for any hand sign. So now that they're consistently flagging them, yeah we're going to be okay with that.

  7. The age turnout isn't actually that far off of reality. The chart looks strange, though, because their age brackets are weird. You have groups that include 12 years, 10 years, 10 years, 20 years, 20+ years.

    old people will never die.

     

    the only good news in there was the 44/55 M/F breakdown.

    That would be bad news for O'Rourke if the surveyed population was females +10 and he's still down 9 percent.

    I'm about to head to my polling station to put in my ballot for Beto. I'm wearing my Humans against Ted Cruz shirt and my Iraq and Afghanistan Veteran hat. I seriously hope someone tries to come at me with some bullshit. I'm not in the mood for fuck-fuck games today.

    That is electioneering and you can be denied your vote if the person in charge at that location so chooses. The shirt, I mean. It's a class C misdemeanor.

  10. Man, y’all don’t even realize it but this entire thread is just.....wow.

    Women as nothing but numbers with a hole.

    And then y’all act shocked when a dude who sees women the same way goes a kills some.

    It’s very easy to kill what you don’t see as human.

    Y’all may be getting laid on a regular basis but some of the sentiments in this thread would fit in just fine on an incel forum.
    Meh, it's shorthand. I'm sensitive to that kind of thing but everyone in here is referring to the guys as numbers, too.

    I agree with all this, but I think the number is closer to 7.3 than 7.5.  

     

    Eh, not so fast my friend. In general, higher turnout helps Dems, but we have to recognize that higher turnout in the few populous red Texas counties will heavily benefit Cruz. My thesis on this race is that in a high turnout scenario, O'Rourke's chances hinge on whether he can outperform "generic dem" in Collin, Denton, Tarrant,  Wilco, Lubbock, McClennan, Brazoria, etc. 

    Yeah, I think I'd probably go 7.3-7.5M instead of my earlier range. As mentioned above, percentage of voters voting early has been on a steady incline, which is just one more thing to add to the list of reasons why 8.2M is too high.

    On the other hand there is supposed to be pretty good weather overall statewide tomorrow.

  12. We had 5.8M in early votes. Looks like he's just looking at using the same ratio of Election Day to Early Votes as happened in 2016.

    In 2016 in the Top 15 counties about 71.7% of votes were early in-person votes. If you use the same percentage for 2018 you end up with over 8.1M total votes. I honestly don't see that happening as I view the 2018 midterms as a battle of more motivated voters, which means we will lose some of the "oh yeah the election is today" voters that we get in Presidential election years.

    I'm not an expert or anything but I think we'll have a total of 7.5-7.75M votes at the end of tomorrow.

    What’s a frontage road?

    Considering that the term frontage road is used in Texas state law, I think you're going to have to do some research on that one. Access road, feeder road, and frontage road all appear in the Texas Transportation Code. So there.

  14. He was using hyperbolic rhetoric. Calm down Huck. 
    No he wasn't, he was attempting the tried and true tactic of deflecting from real complaints by falsely stating that the same complaint is made toward everyone.

    I am a-political so I am considered a Nazi on this board.

    I don't like Cruz because of all the Tea Party theatrics and would have voted for a democrat if they put someone up that I could stomach. 

    There are 3 things I personally don't like about Beto (one being more of a general dislike about current dems)

    1.  Oil and gas stance..  Sorry i'm not going to vote for shooting myself in the economic dick.

    2.  Gun control..  Voting for every single gun control measure for the sake of voting in favor of it was clearly pandering.  There are laws that could be passed that I could stomach but he's signaling he'll vote for any form of gun control no matter what.

    3.  Impeachment/obstruction...  I don't like the shitstain Cruz for the tea party theatrics and I wont support anyone who plans on obstructing for the sake of it.  Act like an adult (and my fucking Senator) and get a deal hashed out with the other side of the aisle. 

    I really do think there are a lot of people who would have been willing to vote against Cruz as payback for not getting anything done for 4/6 years of his term.  I am one of them.

    Not a single person has accused you of anything close to that you lying pussy.

    Soooo, the Dems should nominate a Republican?

    "That Dem should be a Republican," Republicans

    It's really that simple, and Texas Democrats have been getting their asses kicked for decades trying it.

    As others mentioned, any Democrat in a general election is going to get "PELOSI SOCIALISM WILL BE LED BY BROWN INVADERS" rhetoric thrown at them. It's funny watching someone pretend like voting records matter in this election.

    "% of 5  stars drafted in first round ..Bama 48.3% ...Rest of college football 17%."

     

    That is amazing

    It's also based on winning a lot of games in college. NFL scouts suck at separating a player's performance from his teammates.

    Some of the 5 stars Alabama has had drafted in the first round include Trent Richardson, DJ Fluker, etc. Richardson is obviously a famous bust but a good portion of their first round picks have become average NFL players at best. That's still production, but that's not what first round picks are supposed to be. I'm not saying they don't identify/develop talent better than average, because they clearly do (trapdooring helps), just that they've had several guys who should have been mid-round picks go in the first round because they won a shitload of games.
