It gives me comfort. If they’re THAT far off in TX, then one would assume they’re that far off everywhere.

I agree. If this poll were representative, we could safely add about 5 points to Trump in other states.

Yup. If TX goes Dem, or is even close, then more marginal states like FL, OH, PA will go Dem by 20 points. Trump might as well hang it up right now. ROFL!!

Lots of concern trolls on this thread...

By way of reference, in 2008, which was as close to a landslide as Dems have seen in modern history, McCain carried the state by 12 points - 55.4 to 43.6. That's an enormously popular candidate, motivating sections of the electorate that don't normally vote, running against an unpopular candidate who had a fair percentage of his electorate stay home. And the unpopular guy still won by twelve.

This year, if Texas is as close as 20 points, I'll be shocked.
