All fake. They're trying to get the bandwagon effect going so that undecideds that just want to say they voted for the winner, break for beta o'soy. It isn't going to work.

They've stooped to polling equal numbers of dems as Republicans. In freakin' Texas. bahahahaha

tanq cut down my post where I provided proof down to 2 words ("all fake"), asked for proof, then deleted his post.

That's fine, I'll provide it again.

The 2 polls that have beta within the margin of error are Emerson and Texas Lyceum.

Emerson outright hides it's methodology. That's a red flag, and grounds for immediate rejection.

Texas Lyceum admits they polled equal numbers of dems to Republicans. In a R+8 state.

1. Democrat 39%
2. Neither 22
3. Republican 39

Fake polls.

Actually Kronk -- I decided it isnt even worth the time to attempt discourse with you. Go back to your 'fake news' world that you yearn for so longingly. Considering it is your knee jerk 'fake news' response to life, the universe, and everything... very telling to be honest.

But thanks for the objective facts on that one poll. Much better than your first 'fake news' grunt. Wouldnt you agree?

And no, I, like you I dont think Robert will win. But I dont automatically blip out all of the other polls that dont necessarily have the Emerson problem. Do think that Ted will have to work a lot harder than a usual Texas Senate race. My gut tells me 53 per cent or so.... Others I know that are somewhat affiliated with the Cruz campaign expect marginally lower.

There is a reason that Ted is trying slut shame Robert to debate, and why Robert isnt. Most of the time the R incumbent simply ignores the call to debate from the D in a Texas Senate race. That isnt happening this time. Kind of telling on what the Cruz team sees and expects. If they didnt need better numbers, they wouldnt have such a 'jonesing' for those debates.

Toodles, Kronkie.
