Mark Cuban Supports Hillary!
Among those in North Texas who are urging voters to support Hillary Clinton’s presidential bid over Republican nominee Donald Trump is Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban. A billionaire businessman, Cuban says that Trump has not been an earnest businessman, and that his policies would be detrimental for the country.
Large numbers of Texas agree with Cuban. Hillary Clinton is within three points of winning Texas in the November election and within striking distance of turning Texas blue, according to a recent national poll. If she wins Texas it would be a stunning blow for the Republican Party, and will more than likely place Texas in the Democratic column for years to come, according to season political observers.
No Democratic candidate has won a state-wide race in Texas in the last two decades, and many Texas Republicans say that they are staying away from the polls because they find their party’s nominee personally immoral and incoherent on the policy issues that are important to them.
In the poll, which was conducted by CBS News, Clinton is beating Trump among very important demographics such as Hispanics, African Americans, Asians and college-educated voters. The Republican nominee is not doing well among women in Texas who were polled. More than 50 percent of the women respondents said that they believed that Trump has little or no respect for them.
Democratic leaders in Dallas and Tarrant counties are urging voters to turn out in large numbers at the polls. They are requesting that Clinton supporters vote for a “straight ticket” and punish down ballot Republicans who have supported efforts to curtail minority voting.
“We have done the work to put Texas in play for Democrats,” said Deborah Peoples, the Democratic Party Chairwoman for Tarrant County. “Now get out there and vote,” she added.
The CBS poll found that Texas voters believed that Clinton exceeded Trump in temperament and judgment, saying that they were more comfortable with her becoming commander-in-chief in an unsettled world. Voters worried that Trump was too rash and belligerent. For instance, only 36 percent of those polled believed that Trump’s promise to build a wall along the nation’s southern border would become a reality.
Early voting began on Monday, and political leaders and clergy are urging voters to go to the polls prior to Election Day on November 8th. They have emphasized to people that Trump is a threat to American Democracy and that there few groups that he has not insulted, including racial minorities, Muslims, Hispanics, people with disabilities and women.
The Republican nominee has an ill-defined message, is not supported by the overwhelming majority of his party’s leadership and is being untruthful about his alleged sexual assaults of numerous women, they say.
