" John Cornyn voted with Trump 99 percent of the time"

You sure like to quote Cornyn's political ads.

if that was true, why do you suppose Cornyn got handed his ass in the primary election?

Damn good question. Have been asking myself that since the primary election was over. The past five years Paxton overall has been much closer to prison than a senate seat.


Here's the thing. Cornyn only ever cared about himself, and he finally got careless enough to let voters find out.

Democrats have been able to get Cornyn to campaign for Talarico. If he ever WAS aligned with Trump, Cornyn definitely is not now.

Bottom line, is we're not going to get a great Senator for Texas this election, but putting Talarico in would do a lot more damage than putting Paxton in that seat.

The Democrats hope to keep folks angry enough to not think this through.

Imagine how badly the Republican Party has to **** up for Texas to end up with a senator who says there are six genders, can quickly name his favorite drag queen, and spoke passionately about having a vegan campaign.

It's a few major factors.

1) When people actually listen to Talarico, he isn't anything like the radical extremist that y'all portray him to be, and frankly the focus on anti-trans stuff seems a little hokey and out of touch with everything else going on in people lives.

2) The GOP has created the perception that they institutionally reward corruption, because they do. In a functional party, Paxton's impeachment should have ended his career, not propelled him upward, but here we are.

3) We are currently suffering under the worst POTUS in at least the last 100yrs, and arguably ever, who's policy actions have made people's quality of life measureably worse.

Strap yourself in, because conditions probably aren't going to improve between now and November, they will continue to deteriorate. I just saw $3.99 gas and $5.99 diesel on my commute home in the Austin area, and I doubt it stops going up from there any time soon.

Point by point then:

1) When people actually listen to Talarico, he isn't anything like the radical extremist that y'all portray him to be, and frankly the focus on anti-trans stuff seems a little hokey and out of touch with everything else going on in people lives.

BULL**** - T boy has been scrubbing his past to hide his positions, and all his polite words now mean no more than noise.


2) The GOP has created the perception that they institutionally reward corruption, because they do. In a functional party, Paxton's impeachment should have ended his career, not propelled him upward, but here we are.

ALSO BULL***** The R's have some bad seeds in them, sad to say, but the Democrats have held the record in number and scale of corruption since Andy Jackson started their mob in 1824.



3) We are currently suffering under the worst POTUS in at least the last 100yrs, and arguably ever, who's policy actions have made people's quality of life measureably worse.

CONTINUED BULL***** The 'worst POTUS in at least the last 100 years' is a race between Wilson the KKK-lover who also gave us the Income Tax, FDR who decided Socialism Lite was a good way to fight the Recession which became the Great Depression, and LBJ who decided to lock in Medicare, Welfare, and the worst lunacy in war we ever had with Vietnam.

Trump at least secured the borders and made some efforts to clean up government fraud. He's not the best but he's better than any of the slugs we have endured since Ronald left Washington DC to go back home.


Strap yourself in, because conditions probably aren't going to improve between now and November, they will continue to deteriorate. I just saw $3.99 gas and $5.99 diesel on my commute home in the Austin area, and I doubt it stops going up from there any time soon.

Certainly the Democrats will do everything they can to make folks angry and conditions worse. It's what they spend their time doing anyway.

The radical extremist that most of us see in Talarico are based on his own words. We have all seen the clips from recent months and years (I think the oldest is 4-5 years) and they weren't created by AI. All of his most damning statements were made by him. His more reasonable statements are from recent weeks and clearly he is furiously backpedaling because he doesn't have a chance.

Speaking of corruption:



Spoiler alert: 90%+ of politicians are corrupt.

Also, hard to trust an attorney who struggles with basic spelling.....

"As a member of the Texas House's Public Education Committee, Talarico was not involved in TEA's process for awarding outside contracts and did not vote on the contracts."

It's going to take something a lot worse than that to even up the score with Paxton.

I think Paxton is vulnerable… but there's no way Abbott is losing.

I agree, but Trump is on the ballot
