Trump Wants Party Unity (For Everyone But Himself)


 

Voting Is Heavy In Texas This Year


In the first 12 days of early voting in Texas, there have been 6,356,493 people voting in person and 837,089 mail-in ballots received. That means 7,193,582 voters have already cast their ballots. And there are 6 more days of early voting. 

The 2016 election had the most people voting in the state. In that election, 8,969,226 voted in the presidential election. It looks like voting this year will easily eclipse that.

A New Presidential Poll Shows Texas Is Still In Play

The chart above is from the latest Dallas Morning News / University of Texas at Tyler Poll -- done between October 13th and 20th of a sample of 1,012 registered Texas voters, with a 3.08 point margin of error.

The poll has Biden leading by 2 points (46% to 44%), but with the margin of error the poll has Biden and Trump in a virtual tie. The most that can be said is the state is still in play, and the candidate that does the best job of getting out his voters will win.

More Charts That Don't Look Good For Donald Trump








 The charts above reflect the results of the Axios / SurveyMonkey Poll -- done on October 22nd and 23rd of a national sample of 2,742 voters.

The charts look bad for Trump. He either trails or is tied with Biden on all these important things.

Trump Lied - He's Made Millions From China


 

Trump's Lying More Than Ever - Has Topped 25,000 Lies

Trump is normally an accomplished liar, but he has accelerated his lying during this campaign. Here's how the fact checkers at The Washington Post puts it: 

In 2017, Trump’s first year as president, he averaged six claims a day. That jumped to 16 a day in 2018 and 22 in 2019. So far in 2020, the president has averaged 27 claims a day.

At his current pace, the president will surely exceed 25,000 claims before Election Day. In fact, he probably crossed that threshold this week.

As President Trump entered the final stretch of the election season, he began making more than 50 false or misleading claims a day.
