Poll finds Sanders faring best against Trump in Texas
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) fares best against President Trump in a head-to-head match-up in Texas, according to a new poll released Wednesday by Texas Lyceum.
Sanders still got less support than Trump in the poll, but he did win 47 percent compared to Trumps 50 percent, a result within the poll's margin of error.

Independent voters are also a strength for Sanders in Texas, Blank said. He was the only one of the four candidates to beat Trump among independents.
While all three Democrats, aside from Sanders, lost independents to Trump in this poll, basically 60 to 30 or so with the rest of them unsure, Sanders is actually ahead of Trump with independents, 44 to 41, he added.

And likes Trump better than Biden. Because Biden is creepy. If other Texans feel the same way then I can see Sanders being closer to Trump than Biden.

So we should nominate Sanders because he won't lose as badly to trump in Texas?
