Hillary Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee, has launched a historic bid to win the deeply Republican state of Texas in a bid to destroy Donald Trump's chances of becoming president.
Mrs Clinton committed $1.5 million to begin running television advertisements in the Lone Star state, which is usually ignored by Democratic presidential nominees who have not won it for 40 years.
Texas has 38 votes in the presidential electoral college, the second biggest number of any state after California. A candidate needs 270 to win.
Targeting Texas amounted to a political "decapitation strategy" by taking the biggest Republican state....

dig far enough and you will find they are sourcing the same poll, Survey Monkey.
Survey Monkey is as reliable as a FB poll or a poll on a MSM web site.
Fun too ain't it? All part of the Blessing of being Texan :)
“I can’t believe the senile stupidity of the senior vote.”
That sounds kind of rough. If they are senile then its not their fault.
Most of them are 80-90 years old!
If anything it was their children that let them down. The so called “me” generation. Which is aptly name because it was all about them. The Clintons and the Obamas are perfect examples.
THIS is why I have a hard time believing the RCP map. Texas had the chance to vote for a dimwitted abortion WOMAN against a PRO-LIFE MAN. She got stomped by a percentage approaching 20 points!
Hillary believes in the murder of nearly full term infants and wants to kill carbon fuels.
The notion that Texas is PINK and not crimson RED is laughable.
Fact. Plain and simple.
Last Friday night my husband took me out for date night. Just local Mexican joint. Two men in the booth across the aisle were talking all about their love of all things Dem and not understanding how anybody could vote Trump. My huband is half deaf, he couldnt hear them and out of respect for "date night" I uncharacteristically held my tongue. I observed: 1) at the surrounding tables, all women visible were eyeing them with venom. 2) their discussion was the count of Trump vs Hatelery signs between here and Houston (we're near Waco) and 3) one of them had on a pink shirt. I surmised they were 2 homosexuals from Houston infiltrating my turf.
I hear and see comments about women and the vagina vote, but I don't think that is as common amongst us Texas women.
I love my CONSERVATIVE bretheren all across the nation. But I wish from the bottom of my 6th generation Texas heart that we, as a state, could limit immigration from other states to only conservatives.
God speaks with me about the "love my enemies order." I remind Him He told the Isrealites not to let foreigners in their borders too. Libs are foreigners in my book. BTW - my husband is a good conservative from Maine.
Welcome! My niece from Bryan married a fella from Joisey. Sweet young man who loves to go shootin.
The prosecutions have been having an effect on voting patterns in the valley.
“I hear and see comments about women and the vagina vote, but I don’t think that is as common amongst us Texas women.”
My mother is also a dyed-in-the-wool conservative voter. The only mistake she ever made was to vote against Goldwater because he picked a dunce as VP, less than a year after JFK was murdered. She also moved her from Jersey, and is thrilled to have her vote count for the first time since 1988.
I HATE it when libs destroy a state then move to a new one to destroy that one.
My borough is very conservative. Outside of that, all the way up to the state level, forget about it.
Is it possible that Hillary is going after states that are easier to steal, and that there are rigged polls to help her sell it after the election? I see polls that show Arizona for Hillary. So Hillary would ‘win’ AZ and TX, for instance, but lose NY because it may be harder to steal it.
Sickery has about as much chance of winning TX as she does GA. LOL!
Take it from this Texan, no one I know is voting for Hellary. I have not seen one Hellary sign, not even from the guy who puts up RAT billboards every election. Nor are there any at what I call political corner where every Tom, Dick and Harry plant their signs. The polls showing her ahead are being conducted in pajama wearing uber lib tree hugging CA transplant weird Austin or wackadoodle Sheila’s Houston with her EBT crowd. While Texas is being over run with illegals and more than our fair share of Katrina trash, Texas is safe during this election. It may not be in ‘20 if we get more of the Terrorist in Chief’s muzzy invaders.
An Arizona friend reports in regularly that he hasn’t spoken to anyone there who is voting for Hellary. He and his new gf are sending in their early ballots today for Trump. We haven’t met her but so far he made a good choice.
Need to ask him about Sheriff Joe’s numbers.
This has been Hillary and the left’s wet dream since the rise of the progressive party. They’ll do it by changing the demographics - just like California.
If illegal immigration isnt stopped, it WILL go blue in a few years...
Stop with this nonsense!
Texas isn't Calif.
OK..it worked!
Thanx!
CA....
Hillary take Texas???
ROFLOL!!!
