(25,183 posts)Quinnipiac University is in Connecticut, and as soon as Texans pick up the phone and hear that accent, they'll tell them what they need to get rid of them. Or, they'll just hang up the phone.

(25,183 posts)but we have a primary season to deal with. Joe Biden is unlikely to emerge as an unbloodied nominee, once the debates start, the target on his back will surely attract some well-aimed arrows. The general election campaign will be fierce, it will not be a cakewalk for the Democratic nominee.

(146,192 posts)If Biden is the only one polling higher than Trump, that means something important. Not in Texas, so much, but nationwide.
I would love to win Texas in the presidential race, but this is a good sign that Biden will defeat Trump in other states where the race will be somewhat close.
Thanks!

Texas is the biggest battleground state in the country. This our moment.
We all know that once Texas goes blue, the Republican path to the White House will be blocked. Texans want leaders who will fight for them on issues like healthcare, education, and the economy. That's why Texas Democrats are poised to win.
The party has upped the amount that they are asking me to contribute which shows that they are excited

I mean, its not as though 2016 and 2018 were blowouts in the state, either. Clinton lost by nine points, though that was closer than the margin in Iowa, which in 2012 voted for Barack Obama. It was the closest the state had been since 1976, excluding 1992 and 1996 when Texan Ross Perot played spoiler. Last year, ORourke lost by less than three points.
Then theres this new poll of Texans by Quinnipiac University. It has Trump struggling against a number of the Democrats running for the partys 2020 nomination. Hes up only four points on Sen. Kamala D. Harris (D-Calif.) and thats the race in which hes doing the best. Despite his relative success last year, ORourke loses to Trump by three points. Against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.), Trumps only up one.
Against former vice president Joe Biden? Trump is losing by four points.

(2,113 posts)Because of the silly narrative that Biden is the best to beat Trump. Put Beto up vs Trump and he wins. Beto also FULLY supports a woman's autonomy over her own body...even when she is poor.
Biden's support of the Hyde Amendment is a campaign killer anyhow. We should not be surprised, though, because as soon as he starts talking he sticks his foot and half of his leg in his mouth.

(8,556 posts)His poll numbers against Trump are impressive. Double digit leads in many cases. Beto is no where close to that yet, although given time and more exposure he could get there. But that's not for sure and with Biden, he's already there.
