And now Trump has lashed out at Abbott for being a RINO….Unhinged.


Well Abbott certainly isnt conservative or America First.

He's more conservative than Trump.

Hard to say. Trump's issues aside, Abbott has been squishy on some important issues, and his love of Data Centers was too well-known for him to backtrack when it came back on him.



Trump beat him up specifically over data centers…

I mean what is the data center issue? Conservative or liberal?


Its one of those few issues that is bipartisan and unites the right and the left.

No one wants a hyperscale data center built next to their homes for extremely good reasons.

It's a populist grievance issue. That used to be the domain of Democrats/liberals, but we're living in a new world of Trumpism.


Would you like a hyperscale data center built on top of your residence?

Would happily accept a ground lease arrangement as an income stream for my children and their children.


Sorry, you dont live in fairyland.

They dont lease land. They buy out your neighbor and then eminent domain your property to bring in their utilities. Your children receive nothing and your land is devalued.

Cool story. Now about how it operates in the real world…Even your link was a buyout.


You are in the very extreme minority of people who support no restrictions on hyperscale datacenters.

Your stance on this issue had a huge role to play in flipping Texas blue.

Good luck!

Did you miss the entire Biden presidency? Everyone ****s on Trumps term to date while completing ignoring the colossal ****ery that was Biden 4 year run.
Like I said above. Both sides are lying to voters. The Democratic Party is going to deliver on exactly 0 of the promises that flipped the house. They'll accomplish nothing for America the next 2 years other than attempting to impeach Trump


Biden didn't have house or senate and was getting blocked on literally everything, trump had house senate and supreme court and managed to drop us down a hole and yet you still think he doesn't deserve the ****

I think these statewide results get pinned on Trump...not Cornyn

Cornyn was a self-absorbed *****

Good riddance to him, even though I agree Trump did most of the damage to the party this election.

Cornyn was completely on board with the Iran war... he was also completely on board with handing hundreds of billions more to Ukraine.

But most people are too stupid to understand that.

Talarico is the projected winner, ahead 55.3%-43.0% with 68% of the votes in.


I was so proud when we turned Texas red and elected John Tower to the Senate. Trump ruined everything for us and it may not be recovered in my lifetime. Thanks MAGA for rotting the party


Don't forget to thank the get nothing done republicans that brought us Trump to begin with.
Let's not make that mistake again.

He and James Fishback had some of the best commentary on the events that happened.

People were willing to tolerate Trump's personality as long as he did the things he promised to do.

When he exacerbated inflation by launching Israel's war on Iran, attempted to cover for the Epstein perps, backed off on immigration enforcement with Markwayne Mullen, and backed off on MAHA he lost a lot of support.

Last night was an extinction level event for the GOP. Cornyn would have lost as well.

According to the latest results, the state is a quart low on good republicans as well.

The absolute happiest candidate for me in this election was Vickki Goodwin who defeated the ass Dan Patrick. I'll never forget his lecture to the House Republicans in the impeachment of Paxton. He claimed they caused the cost. It was his stance and his lawyers who took it on the chin last night. Justice has been done. Those who defend crooks will be dumped.
Iran has Trump by his pu**y and no way they will let go

Agreed. The GOP also seems to be short on good campaign managers. All that money for schlock we have seen used every election in the last two decades.

There is no body to blame but Trump himself, and his enablers. That includes Huffines.

This is way more than inflation and high gas prices.
This is a complete repudiation of racism, xenophobia, misogyny, homophobia, and fascism.
It is an overthrow of everything MAGA stands for

I always forget how a fascist movement lets its opponents run in free elections…and lets itself lose

And if you want to repudiate racism then you have to utterly reject the modern race based Democratic Party

I call on Gov. Abbott to IMMEDIATELY convene a special session to REIN IN EXECUTIVE EMERGENCY POWERS… before Gina Hinojosa is sworn in!

Republicans lost last night, but Democrats were not sworn in.

We still have total power in Texas, and we must act like it by using the remaining ten weeks to restore separation of powers and limit the emergency powers that Governor-Elect Hinojosa is set to inherit, which would allow her to destroy liberty in Texas by executive fiat.

I've warned since I was first elected that NO governor, Republican or Democrat, should have unchecked emergency powers!

Now that Texas has elected a Democrat Governor, the urgency is undeniable… and inaction is intolerable.

Without action, Governor Hinojosa will inherit the powers of a DICTATOR.

Due to the absurd (and almost certainly unconstitutional) Texas emergency powers laws, Gov. Hinojosa will literally have the power to modify laws, ignore laws, or create and enforce laws including criminal laws on a whim!

Today is a day for ACTION, and bold leadership.

The Texas Legislature must immediately pass, and Governor Abbott must sign, legislation like HB911, which I filed in 2022 and warned at the time, that "Never ending emergency powers are antithetical to representative government and render people powerless. Legislative bodies allowing a single executive branch official to both write and enforce laws is the biggest threat to our constitutional system of divided government and should be opposed irrespective of which political party runs the executive branch."

My legislation would protect liberty from executive fiat by, among other things, taking the following actions:

1. Prohibit the Governor from suspending or modifying statutes

2. Sunset emergency orders in 30 days if the legislature does not ratify the order

3. Prohibit the governor from reissuing emergency orders that expired or the legislature rejected

4. Require emergency orders to be narrowly tailored

5. Subject emergency orders to expedited judicial review

We have TEN WEEKS LEFT to protect Texas from near total Democrat rule.

I encourage every elected Republican in Texas to join my demand for Gov. Abbott to call a special session.

The future of liberty in America is literally on the line in Texas, and Texans deserve leadership that acts accordingly.

Don't be so sure. It is a repudiation of the GOP, but too much of it comes from younger voters who think MAGA isn't fascist enough.
