What you are not taking into account is that this is a new voting block that was pushed into Texas. Add that to the new transplants from blue states that is an to known voting block.

So yea, 300k to 500k votes can sway an election and yes, they are highly organized and motivated for a mid term election.

Can Polymarket be gamed? Could a campaign seeking momentum feed Polymarket bets to show they are doing better than reality? This would be the same as paying for ads and campaign material so they would not be concerned about the loss of those funds because it would be seen as a calculated expense.

This should be an easy election for Republicans in Texas but they are playing this really soft from a campaign perspective. They should have gone into this campaign season as if they are losing, but they are campaigning as incumbents who relying on their previous work.

If it were my campaign, I would tie these democrat candidates to all the policies and chaos that all democrat candidates in California, Washington, Oregon, New York,etc. Hit them hard on the activist activities in those states, the ridiculous laws and policies that those citizens are having to live in because the activists control those governments through the democrat elected politicians. Show the street tents of the free loaders, the mental crazies that the democrats use as their street army. Show the voters that the supporters of the Democrat candidates are not people like you, they are part of a sub population that is preying on our constitution, freedoms, rights, and values.

If it were not for the NBA subsidizing the WNBA it would not survive in its current form. This is just another prime example of people receiving an entitlement and in return having no incentive to operate profitably or sustainable.

If the league, its owners, and its players were relying strictly on fan support they would not be operating as a political activist org, and they would not be promoting the ghetto culture.

How long before the NBA owners either step in or cut it off?

Spencer Pratt on X: "Guys, I hate to break it to you, but most political advisors are so bafflingly incompetent, it would make your head spin. All the talented communicators go work in Hollywood or at Saatchi and Saatchi, and these political bros never tap these agencies for help...I've connected several campaigns with literally the best marketing geniuses in the game, got them discounted rates, even...and they just never even bothered calling. It truly feels like a lot of consultants and candidates just want to lose. You ever wonder how my ads went so massively viral, but there's not been a single candidate who's come close to it? It's their dumbass advisors. I didn't go with any political advisors, and they were SO mad about it. I partnered with a filmmaker and marketing wizard, instead of political grifters. Why? Because I wanted our messaging to be effective. Political ads suck. Nobody watches them. I wanted people to want to watch my ads. The fact that nobody else understands this is...I honestly don't know how to explain it, other than they want to lose. There are a bunch of candidates who love it when their party loses power. It takes all the heat off them, because then they can't be expected to pass legislation when they're in the minority, plus they can fundraise way better off of the rage when the opposition is running roughshod over the country. Baffling to watch."

I do believe Republican care less about winning because they then have an excuse why they don't do anything, and can blame Democrats for our society going to crap.

There is so much Republicans could be doing in their campaigns to win big, but they are playing to lose, letting Democrats define them and this economy as bad when the truth is Trump has given the Republicans many policies wins to run on.

I would donate to a Pratt run PAC if he ran his type ads against Democrats in general.

maybe there wasn't enough evidence to detain them. They haven't been charged with committing a crime.

Yesterday, the news was reporting that in the UK they could be held for 2 months without charges.

Just an FYI, the Democrat governor candidate is flirting with crossing this line as well in one of her ads. She gives her ideology view of govt should be and then ends it with "this is my prayer for Texas". It was very odd and it comes off as if she places govt over God.

Trick question because if Dems are in power, Iran get a nuke. What came first the chicken or the egg?

It's not hard just look at how bad and hopeless everything was under Biden. The high prices under trump are due to conflicts that are "temporary". What the blue side want to give you is high prices that have no end and no cap ... Until you have no more to give them.

Teachers unions need to be shut down as they operate in their current format. They have abandoned any resemblance if their original chartered purpose and are nothing less than a political activist group skimming funds from peoples paychecks.

Seriously, when the education of students has declined so far, what is the purpose of teachers unions? They are the core reason why the public education system has failed?
