Might be best case scenario for Talarico but we’ll see. The blue mirage in Texas has been going for a while.

I have no faith that when Texas is faced with the choice between a criminal and a democrat, they will pick the democrat. Paxton will win, but republicans will have to spend a lot of money defending the seat to make sure.

I don’t think the article writer understands where Citizens United took us.
250 million dollars? So WHAT?
There is so much money floating around the elit0sphere…shit, they just got another 1.8 billion dollars to share out…for doing nothing but being corrupt assholes.
There are TRILLIONS of dollars in the bank accounts of the oligarchs running the show…that is like you or I, with 100K in the IRA, shelling out 2500 bucks to fix a leaky roof.

I seriously doubt TX will flip but it’s nice to see GOP money wasted at least.

Trump’s ego is bigger than his party’s Senate majority strategy. Trump would rather lose with corrupt and MAGA crazy, Trump loyalist Paxton.

I don’t know how Cornyn will reconcile now. He literally sold all his principles and values, begged, pleaded, and groveled on national TV for DJT’s endorsement and didn’t get it. Even after the Paxton endorsement, Cornyn was posturing gently for DJT’ people. Now, he’s lost not just his Senate cache, his political career, but also any self respect. What do you folks think?

Haha! Get fucked Cornyn. You licked Trumps ass for almost a decade and this is your reward.

Why do Republicans keep voting for criminals

Gop gonna have to decide which senate seat worth keeping now lol.

I think the takeaway here is a reminder that the GOP continues to be insane.
Yes, it probably increases Talarico’s chances, but that’s not really what’s important.
This country is going to *fail* if the right doesn’t come to it’s senses and stop supporting unethical, immoral, and frankly criminal politicians.
This is them leaning into those bad choices. This is them *choosing* the worst of the worst.
Paxton is a shit-bird who’s misdeeds have left a trail a mile long. Rational voters should have ejected him long ago, but here he is, being chosen over a relatively scandal free *conservative Republican* opponent.

Republicans don’t look for best and brightest for legislators nor when they fill their cabinet. Clearly, the GOP is the party of corruption and criminals. And of course, they are led by the Lying king Trump who continues to work 24/7 fighting for himself and his family’s fortune.
Paxton is the sweet spot of Republican DNA — being criminal and corrupt. A great opportunity for Democrats and the working class as Democrats tries to rebuild our government by the people, for the people, NOT just the rich!

Ken Paxton is a googly-eyed monster.
The entire world will be watching Texas.

As much as I am a democrat and my party often snatches defeat from victory, I believe Trumpkin is simply lining up all these horrible candidates and they will be mowed down in November. And you know what? I believe Trump will live just long enough to chuckle, warm his hands over the immolation, and then deny responsibility.

If Texas elects Paxton, a corrupt hypocrite and objectively horrible human being, over Talarico, the exact opposite in many ways, it will reveal that Texas is indeed a lost cause and anchor dragging down the country that it’s always been. I don’t have my hopes up (this is the state that keeps on electing Ted Cruz after all), but please surprise me Texas!!

Does anyone really care if Paxton beat Cornyn. neither one the these two are worth a damn. they have both kissed Trumps ass for years Cornyn is a corrupt piece of scum but just not hardly as corrupt as Paxton.Paxton is a liar and cheater. and womanizer just Trump and that’s why he endorsed him. Cornyn is no angel by any stretch of the imagination Trump just used him and abused him and kicked him to the curb like he does everyone and he will get what he wants from Paxton then throw him under the bus also.When will these people learn to stay as far as you can from Trump. He is bad news.

Trump doesn’t care. He doesn’t care about the money or Talarico. He plans on cheating because he still hasn’t been called out on cheating in 2024. He’s not worried because the game is rigged.

However it turns out, it will never not be funny to me to see these dudes get screwed. The Moore of each other they eat the less we’ll have to. Later, Cornyn.

Posting everywhere I can to remind people that Paxton just intervened in the case of Adam Hoffman who was facing life in prison with no parole for raping a child over 3 years, and pushed to have his sentence reduced to 1!!!! day? (He ended up getting a whopping 30 days after the Judge refused, oh and also he can’t practice law again for a whole 5 years.. but he won’t have to register as an offender either..)
Coincidentally Paxton’s co-conspirator in the fraud case he was impeached for, has the same defense attorney as Hoffman..
Pure unbridled evil. And Republican’s in Texas voted for him by 30 points..

There was no doubt Paxton would win against Cornyn. Paxton is going to make himself look even worse smearing Talarico.

I look forward to him getting trounced in the general election by Talarico.

At least they can’t gerrymander a US Senate race. If Texans get off their asses and vote, maybe, just maybe, Talarico could have a chance.

We all know Texas will gladly get in line and vote for yet another man that doesn’t care about child rape and actively participates in fraud
