Politico Co-Founder: Trump Could Lose Texas, Race Not ‘Remotely Close’
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 10/18/2016 5:39:39 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Remember Wendy Davis? She was the Texas Democrat who became an MSM darling for her filibuster against a state law restricting abortions. Davis exploited her 15-minutes of fame by running for Governor of Texas in 2014. But despite the backing of an adoring press, Davis got demolished, losing by more than 20 points to Greg Abbott. For the record, my home county of Hood showed its scorn by awarding Davis all of . . . 18.9% of the vote.

So when on today’s Morning Joe, Politico co-founder Jim VandeHei claimed that Hillary Clinton is so far ahead that she has a better shot at winning Texas than Trump has of winning the presidency, this adopted Texan had to laugh.

So they are that confident about their hacked machines and how many illegals they can get to the polls then. Okay.

Someone posted a Reuters/IPSOS poll yesterday showing Trump beating Clinton by 22 points in Texas. Note that this clown Vanderhei didn’t answer the question on media bias; he is celebrating the fact that he thinks its working for Hillary.

I really have the feeling that this is all a ruse, talking up Hillary’s chances in Georgia and even Texas and Arizona. I wonder if they are doing this to cover the big meltdown that maybe actually happening to her instead (I know I will be called out for wishful thinking on my part for such a suggestion, lol).

We know that both Politico and MSNBC are coordinating with the DNC.

So this is just the clowns doing their act that they likely formulated with the DNC days ago.

Perhaps they’ve registered more Mexicans to vote than we even care to consider.

“The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.” Dick, Henry VI, Part II, Act 4, Scene 2 (harkening back to the practice of the English rebel Wat Tyler in 1381).

“Kill all the reporters first.” vladimir998, said in numerous places online starting around 2012 (giving spleen to his discontent with the lying mainstream media).

Odumbo lost all but 28 counties in 2008, he lost all but 26 counties in 2012.

The only reason Killary is running ads in Texas is to ensure she doesn’t lose MORE of the blue counties which Odumbo lost in 2012 - PERIOD!!

I thought I saw an excerpt from the Podesta leaked emails saying a major player in politico was involved in helping Hillary win the race?

Politico is part of the Clinton campaign.

and look at which counties Odumbo won in 2012. All on the border. With the exception of couple city limits like Austin and Houston.

They’re liars. Politico is an arm of the Democrat Party.

Trump wins Presidency
or
Hillary wins Texas

Hillary win some counties in Texas but no where near enough to win the electoral vote.
Trump has a good chance of winning enough of the toss up states to become President.

Heard her surragtes, Michelle and chelsea, are to be in AZ today, so obviously, one can assume it’s over, she’s won. Certainly no worries about FL, NC, VA, OH, and PA.

The polls from the MSM are essentially psywar against Trump supporters, to discourage turnout. Spending $1.5 million on a state Clinton doesn't need serves two purposes: to depress Trump supporters and to provide financial support to the state's MSM, which are overwhelmingly owned out of New York and Los Angeles or by local country club RINOs.

Democrat rank and file comprise tens of millions of people. Many of them are unsophisticated and unaware. Some are actually sophisticated but still unaware, and some are aware but unwilling to face the truth because for whatever reason they’ve found comfort in that party.

In order to buoy these rank and file, there needs to be a combination of cheerleading and Baghdad Bob put out there.

So this is just to keep their members excited about November through ‘positive affirmation’, same as with young children.

That said, they do have large numbers and they do have criminal leaders who will do anything to keep power, like what is posted here:

The threat they pose should be viewed as life-threatening to the republic.
