The first thing to always remember is that all MAGAts are science deniers.

I was willing at first to concede that this Texas Opinion Research Poll (TOPR) was an outlier. But if this FOX News poll is believed to be credible, the TOPR poll really probably isn't a crazy outlier.

A FOX news poll released today shows Talarico leading by 3 percent, so maybe this Texas Opinion Research Poll isn't as wildly crazy as you claim.

That still does not answer my point.

I questioned the cross-tabs, not just the final number. A poll landing close to another poll does not prove the numbers underneath it make sense.

Throwing a dart and getting near the bullseye does not mean the throw was accurate. You are defending the result while ignoring how they got there.

So compared to a 3% lead in a FOX poll, a 5% lead is a massive outlier and totally implausible.

Its Texas and it is early, but I have not seen a Democrat this far ahead in Texas in a LONG time.

Ahh, @FastLane is back. Lets discuss Iraq in the other thread? Or are you embarrassed?
