2024 National & State Elections (Not POTUS)



“…
The survey of 800 voters released Friday by Texas Public Opinion Research showed the Texas congressman trailing Cruz by 4 points (47 percent to 43 percent), but with a margin of error of 3.5 percent, the two could very well be tied.

Cruz, who has occupied his Senate seat since 2012, is known for his tough stances on border security and abortion, both issues that voters said were important to them this November.

The poll follows a similar trend in recent weeks: Cruz has maintained a narrow lead over this Democratic rival. If Allred can sway enough voters, he would become the first Democrat senator for Texas since 1993. Cruz was reelected in 2018 by a narrow margin of 2.6 percent. …”

As punchable as Cruz is, this doesn’t seem like a real risk of him losing.

Robinson (or more likely his campaign staff) has probably decided that his only hope of winning at this point is to try to drive up the vote among his base, in this case pro-life voters. I don't think it will work and may well only serve to alienate urban and suburban women voters even more, but given that he is now substantially trailing in the polls he doesn't have many options.

Those folks were already voting for him. I don't see how this gets him more votes.

I'm not saying it's a good strategy. I'm saying that he has no really good strategies at this point, so he's reduced to trying to drive up support from his base. It's already too late to to make a play for moderates or urban or suburban voters given his polling numbers, so his campaign staff has likely decided to do this. I'm not saying it will work or is even smart, but it does explain his sudden shift from him supporting the current state abortion law to now saying he'll sign a six-week abortion ban.
 
Mark Robinson has already blamed abortions on women for not "keeping their skirts down", now he says women don't need access to sex ed or birth control because they really just need to get their vaginas under control and stop having sex - and points at his crotch while saying so. In a church, no less. Which is really rich coming from a guy who, according to Greensboro porn shop owners, spent hours in their shops eating pizza while watching porn and pleasuring himself.

Not that he need to be taken at face value, but really? The problem with "abstinence only" is that we haven't tried that yet? You serious, Clark?
