I could be wrong, but if folks won’t vote for Paxton on a moral basis, the “preacher” using Scripture out of context to support abortion and LGBTQ issues isn’t a great alternative.

Far left Mr. Rogers weirdo guy is not winning an election in Texas against anyone.

Every damn election we have to deal with people that have taken leave of their minds by suggesting some stupid nonsense like this.

Get a grip.

Hope you are correct. When Trump gets involved in Senate races I have visions of Walker, Oz, and Lake.

Paxton is fairly popular in Texas outside of the Bushies.

The Bush crime syndicate still gets a lot of oxygen in the a Texas GOP but they don’t pull voters. In fact, that’s why Paxton was prosecuted a couple years ago - the Bush’s called that shot and lost.

Talarico is far, far too left to win. He’s worse than this Irishman pretending to be Mexican without the money.

Then those “moderates” have no one to blame but themselves. They need to start suffering thr consequences of their stupidity

Cornyn doesn’t do his job that’s why he’s on the chopping block. He isn’t principled and doesn’t have a good voting record either so I’m curious to see the defense of him.

^^^ this definitely ^^^

Cornyn made choices that question his ability as a team player. Do the math.

Why are you trying to depress the vote for Paxton?

Cornyn needs to retire.. ain't no democrat winning in Texas. Take your trashy thread out of here.

Any supposed “Christian” who is critical of Paxton’s character but has no problem voting for an admitted tranny lover has no one to blame but themselves

I know a lot of “moderates” in Houston who think Talarico is “moderate” and hate Paxton. At any rate it will be way closer than it should be,

I hear this stuff every election cycle.

The last Democrat to serve as a U.S. Senator from Texas was Robert C. Krueger, who held office briefly in 1993 after Lloyd Benson retired to become Secretary of the Treasury. Last day for a Democrat was June 14, 1993. Hasn't been a Democrat as US Senator of Texas in almost 33 years.

Some of you people are just trolls and fools.

There used to be a time when Republicans, at least, cared about the character of the candidates they were supporting. But, now, so long as he has an R after his name and sucks up to MAGA / POTUS he or she can embezzle explicitly ......AND outwardly screw around on his wife.

Republicans cheer, "That's my guy!!!"

So you think this cohort would have voted for Cornyn over Talarico, but will vote for Talarico over Paxton? Just how big an idiot are you?

There used to be a time when Conservatives were willing to unilaterally disarm based upon "character" of the candidates they were supporting.

The result is SD electing GoonThune, TX electing Cornyn, KY electing McConnell, AK electing Murkowski, NC electing Tillis, UT bring in Romney, etc., and a "Republican controlled" Senate that votes moderate Democrat.

Long ago, Dems said "to hell with that, let's elect the most solid reliably far left candidate we can get into office."

Yep. If Cornyn is the most reliably conservative candidate TX can vote in, TX is officially a purple state.

This is rich coming at a time when Democratic-linked entities or officials are being investigated and charged with fraud, exploiting programs meant for vulnerable adults, suspicious donations, charges of wire fraud and money laundering, etc. etc., on and on.
