Trump insists he's ahead in Texas, despite 5-point deficit in new Dallas Morning News poll

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump insisted Monday that he’s ahead in Texas – a state he can’t win reelection without – despite a new Dallas Morning News poll that shows he lags by 5 points and other recent polls showing him tied with Democrat Joe Biden.

“We’re many points up in Texas,” he told reporters at the White House. “Fake news. Phony polls.”

But GOP strategists took the latest survey seriously.

Economic woes and unease over his handling of the coronavirus pandemic have taken a toll. With less than four months to go before Election Day, signs point to a struggle or even, to some Democrats, a potential rout that would end GOP control in the White House, U.S. Senate and state Legislature.

“The president’s in a serious battle in the state of Texas. It’s not your poll. It’s not the CBS poll. It’s the last nine polls that show that it’s not a slam dunk,” said Dave Carney, Gov. Greg Abbott’s chief strategist. “Is he going to lose it? Probably not, but it’s certainly a state that’s going to take significant effort to ensure we win.

7. Trying to force teachers and children back to school prematurely

In Texas will help turn it blue, then add Abbott and other republicans enabling someone who allows our service members to be targeted to be murdered by putin, you may see a lot bigger loss in Texas then they think. The school issue is turning more against trump and republicans around the country now, and its now backfiring badly for them.

8. Yes, but he also says he created the oil industry.

And that everyone have an inner energy battery that gets used up if you exercise too much. And that no one ever knew the Civil War was so difficult. And that he's a successful businessman. And that he loves women and women love him. And so on. And so on...

Hopefully, he's wrong and he will lose in Texas, and every other state.
