Republicans will vote to avoid Beto II becoming their Senator.


Says the guy who threw away his vote in the primary to write-in a puppet.

I'm a prime example. Sentient people don't vote for Democrats, or fail to vote for the Republican when a Democrat could take that office.


If Cornyn wins he's going to need to use some of the $100 million campaign funds he raised in this primary to buy my vote.

He's been my Senator my entire adult life and raised the debt from $6 trillion when he assumed office to nearly $40 trillion today and I STILL cant think of a single way he has made my life better with all that wasted money.

This is fantastic news!

Looks like Paxton and Cornyn are going to a run-off... it blows my mind Cornyn is competitive. I havent met a single person in the last four years of attending Republican clubs and grassroots events that had a single kind word to say about his performance as Senator. And if you look at his campaign events, the turnout was abysmal.


The reason it's close is because both candidates are terrible.

Couldn't be a worse candidate than Paxton to run against Talarico. Wouldn't surprise me in the least if Talarico wins the evangelical vote that so often goes Republican.


Are we talking about the same evangelical vote that guys like you said wouldnt vote for Trump?

The only thing the evangelical vote cares about is Israel... they dont give a **** about morality.

Yes, both are terrible. Not sure about the pair-up though. Talarico's youth and rhetorical skills will play well against the old and wooden Cornyn, particularly with women. I suspect the race will need to get muddy and Paxton might be a better horse for that. Will be interesting to see.

Immediate question is, what are the Hunt voters going to do?

I never said anything of the sort.

Your need to fit people into neat little stereotypes and categories is a real weakness. It inhibits both your listening skills and reasoning abilities. I'd suggest trying to drop the preconceived notions when engaging with others. They do you no favors, and make you look stupid.

As for evangelicals, that certainly isn't true based on the polls. But I'd also submit what you think moral and what most reasonable people think moral are probably two very different things.

As for Paxton, polls show him losing to both Crockett and Talarico in a tight race. Cornyn polls 3 points better than Talarico.

When you are morally bankrupt, but lack Trump's charisma, it's going to be difficult to beat a guy like Talarico.

Talarico presents a much better pitch than Beto 2.

More eloquent, less nutty, incorporates his religion without being judgmental.

He will pull a bunch of Independents and moderate Republicans.

He of course will also have the MSM behind him on a national level.

The election will be a tough fight for the R's as their candidates are weak.
Paxton really sucks. He comes across as a snake without a personality.

Jimmy the Fake Preacher is little more than a shorter, cleaner cut version of Robbie the Fake Mexican, slathered in sickeningly sweet dollop of purported Jesus Juice. Plus, instead of images of skateboarding through Whataburger parking lots or wearing a granny dress with a manbun, he looks like Opie Taylor on his way home from Sunday School.



Strip away the facade and it's the same old liberal tripe.

Talarico's Win in Texas Shows That Nice Guys Can Finish First
At a moment when many Democrats are campaigning on rage and resistance, James Talarico took a different tack in his campaign in the Texas Senate primary.

Indeed. I can't believe how many of my Christian friends have been snookered by the guy.

I think Cornyn might be able to beat him, but it will be tough. I think he beats Paxton.

I hope Cornyn can win the runoff, but it's going to be tough.

Trump Says He Will Endorse in Texas Senate Race
President Trump said he will ask whomever he does not endorse between Senator John Cornyn and Attorney General Ken Paxton to drop out. The winner will face James Talarico, a Democratic state lawmaker.

I'm not sure yet what I will do. I don't trust either of these candidates to work on the policies I think are important. I don't trust Cornyn to get much done at all. I don't trust Paxton to put good policy before personal gain.

I knew he wasn't right for Texas when he posted this meatloaf looking **** and tried to call it brisket. Got hammered for it… And then doubled down on it again four years later.

Cornyn was at 98% likelihood to win the primary on a betting site now.

That is crazy stuff. Is Paxon actually going to drop out?

No issue with an endorsement at all. That is politics.

Demanding someone who was only behind by 27K votes, drop out of the race when
a runoff is what should happen, man I have a real issue with that.

Texas needs to decide the winner, not Trump.

Don't like Paxton at all, but he earned the right to have a runoff election.

Turnout in the Republican primary was also strong - 2.1 million, third largest midterm primary turnout, only behind the presidential years of 2024 and 2016.

Dems had around 2.8 million votes, second to their turnout in 2008.
