STOP WRITING A CANDIDATE OFF BASED ON ONE POLL
This is not the same poll as the other Quinnipiac poll that also had Cruz up 9. There were 2 different polls, both of which found Cruz +9. Anyway, and there is also the Siena poll almost done with the same result.
So, unless you want to advocate that Vox Populli and Reuters are more likely to be accurate... Is that what you want to argue?
I would also like for Beto to win - I did vote for him, after all. But wishing it doesn't make it so.
I just find it annoying that people are rating this Likely/Safe R when there's still almost a month to go. Obviously Cruz is favored, but O'Rourke is still within striking distance.
