CNN reporter trying to emphasize drumf winning TX by huge margin

[rainbow4321]

No....he didn't. He won by 9 points. Smallest repuke Presidential margin in TX in a looonnnngggg time.

Hence why Russian targeted Dallas County voting rolls pre election. And why the Russians in Houston's Russia consulate asked to monitor Harris County voting polls on Election Day (request was denied). Drumf knew how small the margin was and he was scared shitless. After all...it was just a given that TX would go red so no one would get suspicious when it did, no one would say "only won the crown jewel by NINE POINTS.

The pre Election Day polls were at one point within the margin of error and took a long time to get to a double digit difference.

But the media was too fixated on official swing states to see what was happening down in the assumed republican crown jewel.
Even now the media is giving the illusion of TX being all drumf land.

1. Yah, thought that was very odd, "huge margin" my arse. eom

[Proud Liberal Dem]

2. Why would that even matter (if true)?

Politics has nothing to do with a humanitarian disaster (or so I thought)? Did they indicate the margin of Obama's victory on the east coast when Hurricane Sandy hit?

11. gotta butter Trump's dumb ass if you want him to answer a straight question

"Mr. President, given your amazingly huge and unprecedented margins of victory in Oklahoma and your extremely awesomely large hands, how do you plan to proceed diplomatically with North Korea after their missile test over Japan?"

[Proud Liberal Dem]

12. It's insane

Given how much Trump bashes CNN, I can't figure out for the life of me why they still insist on kissing his a**

3. What's utterly sad is that Schtroumpf won Ohio almost by the same margin as TX.

We went from 22 (2008) to 18 (2012) to EIGHT counties. What the flibbity FUCK, Slowhio??

All you have as a Dem here is Sherrod Brown, who is a constant voice for labor and anti-unfair TAs. Everything else - Republicans. Your other rubberstamp Senator, your governor, your State Legislature for the past two decades, etc. If you're experiencing economic shittiness, that's on Y'ALL. That's on your corporate-bought government you keep putting in there.

4. The DNC and TX Dems need to be working on the largest voter registration drive in history in Texas.

There are more than enough unregistered potential voters in Texas to make it a purple (at worst) state for all federal and statewide elections. If people aren't registered to vote, there is no way the state will ever stop electing ignorant, bigoted Republicans.

6. He also lost the TX primary.

Not that it changes anything but I still like pointing it out.

8. Somehow I doubt that anyone needing rescued gives a rats ass what the politics are of the person

who saves them.

9. Either they're sucking up to him, or

they're stealthily trying to correlate Trump's willingness to help with states that he "won" in the GE.

Unfortunately, it's easy to believe the former. Like everyone else, maybe they don't want to piss him off and lose their WH media access. That's what happens when you have a volatile, thin-skinned, vindictive tyrant who needs constant ego-stroking.

10. Houston is drowning and all they care about is how much that piece of shit won that state by?

What liberal media?
