a lot of GOP money and attention is wasted on the state when Cornyn would win pretty easily.

I think this is the key a lot of folks are missing. Paxton can be dragged across the finish line, but the money spent to get him there is money that would go to help candidates in Michigan, Georgia,band North Carolina if it wasn't needed in Texas.

It was said at the beginning of this administration that those in Congress who do not work to pass the agenda of the party forward they would be primaried. Some like to complain about campaign promises not being done and this is one that Trump has stuck to. We cannot continue forward with career politicians who do not work to get things done and let the Dems have any chance at working against us. Cornyn had every opportunity to show that he was for that and hasn’t. If cornyn was so great he could tell his buddy Thune to get the save act through but instead Thune has not done it to protect his buddy.

You know nothing about Texas politics. Cornyn is HATED IN Texas, Paxton fights.

You're not even a Trump guy, anyway. What difference does it make to you?

James Talarico makes Robert Francis O'Rourke seem like Rambo.

You have this exactly backwards. If Cornyn is the nominee there will be little enthusiasm on the R side. Paxton is the stronger candidate.

Texas loses a pretty influential member

Please enlighten us on Cornyn’s influence.

Name one credible bill he has authored and passed during Senate tenure?

Name one project where he has secured millions of dollars.

Name one Committee he Chairs.

I’ll hang up and listen.

OH…but I do, more than you’ll ever understand. And I can unequivocally say Cornyn doesn’t do his job. He’s nationally-focused and not Texas-focused. Senate Majority Leader passed him by thanks to a knife in the back from McConnell. The man has nothing and should be sent home to play with grandkids and great grandkids.

I'm not saying this in an arrogant way..but this is Texas. If we need the money, we will get the money.

And Cornyn absolutely is a RINO. Look at his whole record. Just another Bush RINO.

It blows my mind that people continue to make the argument that if a person wins a primary, they will be defeated by the challenger from the other party because they are a "poor choice" in their opinion.

We can already tell that those people's opinions don't mean jack shite because they failed to gauge the support behind the candidate who won the primary.

Well you either love RINOS and hate the moniker, or ignorant.
