OP
Considering the fishwrap endorsed shrub, they don't have much credibility with me.

(42,862 posts)5. They say a lot of overly optimistic things ...
... that never come to pass. Remember "just like 2008" that we heard endlessly? They're playing mind games, and none of it has any effect in the real world ... it's not helping Bernie at all.

I can guarantee you that there are very few Clinton signs and bumper stickers here in Austin.

the fishwrap is most likely wrong as they usually are.
Are the several other polls from Texas that show Clinton with a commanding lead wrong too:

Are you channeling Peggy Noonan:
We begin with the three words everyone writing about the election must say: Nobody knows anything. Everyones guessing. I spent Sunday morning in Washington with journalists and political hands, one of whom said she feels its Obama, the rest of whom said they dont know. I think its Romney. I think hes stealing in like a thief with good tools, in Walker Percys old words. While everyone is looking at the polls and the storm, Romneys slipping into the presidency. Hes quietly rising, and hes been rising for a while.
There is no denying the Republicans have the passion now, the enthusiasm. The Democrats do not. Independents are breaking for Romney. And theres the thing about the yard signs. In Florida a few weeks ago I saw Romney signs, not Obama ones. From Ohio I hear the same. From tony Northwest Washington, D.C., I hear the same.

And I drive around Austin pretty much every day. I've seen more Trump stickers than Hillary ones. And I've only seen about 4 Trump ones.
Everywhere I go, like the park or the grocery, people ask where they can get a Bernie sticker like mine.
And Peggy Noonan can go jump off a cliff for all I care.
