Correct. Every poll shows Republicans lower than they actually are. All of them.

Things that have changed since 2024
1. In 2024 Independent’s had a 42% to 46% approval rating of Trump. Now it’s 23% to 26%.
2. Trump got between 42%-48% of Hispanic voters in 2024. His approval with Hispanics is now 24%.
3. Black voter turnout in early voting is up(Louisiana)

Even if the numbers are off by 10% it’s still a big difference

There is black and white evidence that this has not been true in the past, particularly in a Texas senate election.

You are either wrong, lying, or both.

Polymarket is giving Talarico a 64% chance to win

What do these guys know that this board clearly do not know?

Polymarket thinks with it's wallet.

Poliboard thinks with its emotions and hopes.

If they run anything like a casino, this isn't THAT bad for Paxton. They are just trying to encourage money to the Paxton side. But I don't know if that's how the business model works.

I expect to start seeing some bet slips from our local Paxton believers.

According to them, Polymarket is giving away dollars for .36 cents, so it’s time to put up or shut up.

Data centers have a closed loop cooling system.

I don’t know about Texas, but Entergy is building more power plants here in Louisiana. Once the technology decreases the need for these huge data centers (which is coming sooner than people realize) we will have more power than we can ever use.


My first big digital computer was the size of a large refrigerator, took 240 volts, had 64 muffin fans to keep it cool in a chilled room and cost over $250k. It had one processor running at 25 mhz!

Technology will move on to the next generation quickly and it will be way faster, use less power, take less space and be cheaper too.

WTF can he do about economic concerns? He does not have a clue. Personal character? Because he likes meat sticks?

Have you seen any poll showing one Republican winning any race


Exactly.. You could probably find some polls where a republican is running unopposed, yet they would show a democrat leading or winning in the poll.

I’m thinking about it, but never done it before.

Why? I think Paxton has at least a 48% chance to win. I think you’d have to have inside info to believe his worst case scenario is worse than that..

The reality? Paxton probably sits between 50% and 55%. He might lose, but it’ll be close if he does..

So at $0,36, it’s a smart bet imo.

$3660 bet pays $10k

$6340 profit seems pretty good on a 50/50 bet. I can think of a lot worse ways to try and almost triple my money.
