bad hombres. i was a little surprised there was no audible reaction in the room. because everybody was on twitter. i have to say, when you have bad hombres, you have that mexican thing, muslims, these are things that are in a parallel universe that is very much on the pulse of another voice. i have to say what i am looking at in this debate is whether or not george w. bush is going to come back and say donald trump is disqualified as a candidate because of what he said, that he s going to undermine an election. the reason i m looking for george where bush, texas is up by only two points for donald trump. texas hasn t gone democratic since 1976. you have roughly 4 million latino eligible voters in that state. people are paying attention. i would look at that. this whole time, donald trump has done such a smart job of taking us down a different road. we don t know what smoke and
we ll replace the full value of your car. liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance. let s just get a sandwich or something. or something ? you don t just graduate from medical school, or something. and we don t just pull smoked chicken, bake fresh foccacia and hand-slice avocado. there s nothing or something about it. texas hasn t gone since
texas hasn t gone since jimmy carter in 1976. he is up only 4 points in in. the state in which his running mate is the sitting governor. that s the lead within the margin of error. barack obama won narrowly but it is normally a solidly red state. nationally he is down by 7 points. and fwhoe longer have to look at polling data. we can look at what is actually happening in the ground in terms of voter registration. for instance, the florida democratic party has submitted about 488,000 voter registration forms while republicans have submitted roughly 60,000. and data on early voting, six which of are battleground states shows the party affiliation of early voters favoring democrats in five of them.
raisers president obama is planning to headline over the next two months. when it comes to campaigning for house and senate democrats. this ambitious schedule excuse me. that will take the president to democratic events in some big fund raising cities like new york, boston, miami, philadelphia, seattle, san francisco, l.a. and dallas, all will take place before the end of november. here s another one. 750,000. that s how many votes that it apparently typically takes to win a statewide election in texas. here s why. despite the fact there is 26 million people that live in the state, it generally only takes 750,000 to win a statewide republican primary. and since texas hasn t elected a democrat statewide to office in almost 20 years, you could argue that winning a gop primary in those 750,000 votes is tanemount to winning the general election to represent 26 million people. next up, $337. that s the average price of a
changes rapidly and i don t think the political strategies and institutions have been able to keep up with that shift. you re talking talking about the 2010 texas governor s race was a guy named bill white, former mayor of houston, kind of well liked with the business community, is running a race that by all accounts this is going to be the race, right? this is the time. and, you know, his campaign was focused very, very much on convincing white voters. when you look at the demographics you re wondering, well, why? i think the other thing to remember, texas hasn t built as many political and kind of civic institutions as a lot of other states. so you have this gap in bringing people into the political process, a real lag. you haven t had in the last, you know, two decades, at least one decade, a real investment in kind of bringing new folks into the political process. so, now that s so that is changing now. i don t know if people know the
