Texas Poll: Ted Cruz 20%, Perry at 12% and Walker at 10%

I was wondering why Governor Perry was so busy campaigning in his home state.

[Teacher317]

Hmmm... here's the important math... 34 percent self-identified as Democrats (and I assume we can set their number of Cruz votes at zero)... so...

76 percent identified as GOP/TEA or Dem... so 24 percent did not choose a party... the "independents" that basically decide every election.

If Cruz got 20 percent overall (0.20), and it was 35 percent of 18 percent TEA (0.063) plus 14 percent of 24 percent GOP (0.0336), and zero percent of 34 percent DEM (0.0)... that means that he is getting FORTY THREE percent of the Independents (.43 x .24 = the remaining 0.103)

Please triple-check my math and humiliate me if I am wrong here.

I know but... Mexico was never involved in building anything. A Spanish company would have owned the toll road.

[bestintxas]

I knew all that already that a Spanish company would profit.

That does not mean it was a corridor from Mexico.

Are you confusing things here?

[bestintxas]

“I know but... Mexico was never involved in building anything. A Spanish company would have owned the toll road.”

What are you saying anyway?

the toll road comes from Mexico, not Spain.

Who said the Mexicans were building it?

Please clear up things.

[lonestar]

Y'all were talking about WHERE the corridor was going; I was talking about the foreign involvement building it and that Mexico had been mistaken for Spain.

Hope that makes sense of what I was saying.. LOL!

[bestintxas]

well, if you read my post #8, it certainly does not infer I was talking about who, but where.

It is the reason I said ‘international interests’.

[lonestar]

Good grief!

Did I blame you? Don't think so!

I think the fact I was talking on the phone at the same time had more todo with it.

[bestintxas]

“Good grief!
Did I blame you? Don’t think so!”

You better reread what you post, then.

you said ‘Ya’ll were talking about where’

Why try to stab those who know that is not true?

[lonestar]

Somewhere is an ambitious mole's hill waiting for you!

I wasn't stabbing you! I wasn't even arguing with you!

You have a chip on your shoulder?...or just petty?
