Republicans are freaking out over Texas Senate race

With just days until Texas’ primary, Republicans in Washington are growing more alarmed that their increasingly vicious intraparty contest could cost them a must-win Senate seat.
Sen. John Cornyn appears to be headed to an expensive and nasty 10-week runoff against Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, with a strong chance that Paxton wins the nomination even after national Republicans spent months airing his dirty laundry all over the Texas airwaves in an effort to boost Cornyn.
“Honestly, if you look at the polling in a general election setting, I don’t think it’s outside the realm of possibility that the seat [flips], depending on who the Democrats nominate,” said Senate Majority Leader John Thune, when asked about the possibility that Republicans could lose the race if Cornyn, who he endorsed, is not the party’s nominee.

How would Paxton lose the general and Cornyn not?
Thune sounds scared.

Cornyn is going down.
And he has only himself to blame.
Should have been a better Republican.

That's what I was thinking. Thune is just scared his coalition is evaporating.

The Democrats are going to rig their election, watch.
The closeted gay pastor beta white guy Talarico is going to be the nominee and you will see all new levels of media protection for him.

Republicans don't like Cornyn. They don't necessarily love Paxton, but love that Paxton has been at the forefront of fighting against the Biden administration's horrendous open borders policy and DEI. Wesley Hunt is a solid MAGA choice. I voted for Hunt, because I think he gives Texas a better chance. Talarico will be the candidate and that ghetto trash bitch from Dallas isn't going to step up and help a white male win, so Hunt could campaign to get the black vote.

It reminds me of the John Bel Edwards vs vitter but Talarico actually has some juice to him
Paxton is known shithead. Baptist arent going to line up for him
Republicans are better off voting the democrat primary to make sure talarico doesn’t win

Paxton has a TON of baggage.
It would be the GOP nightmare scenario if he were the nominee

True conservatives have had enough of John Cornyn here in Texas. The other choices are 100% MAGA but heavily criticized & personally flawed Ken Paxton & Wesley Hunt who says he is MAGA but the jury is still out on him.
On the Leftist side you get to choose between the idiotic rachet queen herself Jasmine Crockett & an effeminate, obviously closeted, faux new age “Christian” leftist James Talarico.
The question is if Cornyn makes it through the primary will enough America First voters stay home to give most likely Talarico a chance. Also there is a huge rift right now among leftist supporters of both Talarico & Crockett.
This is going to be a disaster either way you look at it.

Especially after Dumocrats leaving California and bringing their Liberal politics to Texas. Texas & Florida will turn red in next 2 election cycles

Crockett is not winning a statewide general election. Even Colbert knows that.

Also agree Crockett would be a weaker opponent statewide
