Texans Shatter Turnout Records in First Day of Voting

breitbart.com ^ | 25 Oct 2016

A surprise, as the Texans are NOT noted for high turnout in nearly any election. Particularly one where both candidates are “detested”, as it is often said

[Theodore R.]

Many take so long to vote because they don’t recognizd hardly any candidates other than Trump or Mrs. Bill. They are ignorant of most down-ballot races and are in desperation looking for a name that they can recognize.

I heard a report about a bully precinct captain filling out an elderly woman's ballot and refusing to let her review it. This was in the Dallas suburbs. I was told they are getting a lot of reports from this precinct and sent people there to put a stop to it. Meanwhile, this frail woman and her husband apparently voted for Hillary against their wills.

[Theodore R.]

They will though; they find rallies boring, but they believe in Mrs. Bill to the core! And any doubters take content that Mr. Bill will be there to clean up any messes. Of course, they don’t remember his own messes.

[LouAvul]

He won. Twice.

He won the first time because with blacks, well, it's a black thing. You wouldn't understand. Neither do I.

But the second election he won because we underestimated the level of corruption of the GOPe. They only gave us Romney, a rank liberal.

O'Dummy wasn't expecting to win. He cried when he won, he was so relieved.

Jorge Busho gave us O'Dipstick's first term. The GOPe gave us his second.

[Bethaneidh]

No one should think it’s an excuse not to vote.

[Osage Orange]

How about ONE LIVING LEGAL AMERICAN??!!!

[Engedi]

Yeah I know about 2nd win; he even had a smaller venue for his speech thinking he was going to lose. Romney was winning until the last moment when a rush of ballots were found in someone’s car truck to give Obama the win.

Lot of evangelicals stayed home vs. voting for Romney. I often wonder if Scalia would be alive today had Romney won.

[LouAvul]

Who knows? But if Romney had won I suspect the GOPe uniparty would continue in perpetuity. If Romney had won it would have signaled that we, the voters, were content with more globalist liberal Republicans.

The fact that evangelicals decided enough is enough, just might the impetus we need.

Interesting to see.

“It is hard for me to believe that Hillary supporters won’t go to her rallies, but will stampede in to vote for her.”

You, my friend, are an astute observer, and a clear thinker.

I am also not fooled by all the noise of polls and media talking heads, artificially inflating the strength of Clinton’s campaign.

Any fool with one working eyeball and a functioning brain stem, can see that there is near zero enthusiasm for Hillary, and a crushing tidal wave of enthusiasm for Trump.

The American people have chosen Trump as their next president. If the race is called for Clinton, there will be civil war, because the people will not abide the theft of their republic.

[Windflier]

“Surely not D +9 the media talked about over the weekend.”

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Obama get D +6 in 2012?

How in the Sam Hill is a lackluster, worn out, uninspiring candidate like Hillary, getting a higher turnout than the ‘rock star’ Obama?

Answer — she isn’t. Not even close.

Helpful for comparisons - thanks....

[T-Bone Texan]

My wife did early voting in Houston.

She said the line was composed entirely of Mexicans.

No white people. No black people. All Mexicans.

I voted in Montgomery, North of Houston and it was all white, no Messy-cans.

[ScottinVA]

No white people. No black people. All Mexicans.

And I'm SURE every one of them was a legal voter. /s
