Republicans putting up flawed candidates. Sos ..Republican party is not organized , committed or unified.
Win one election and they think they are invincible.
They have no idea how to guage public sentiment , turn out their lazy base

There's some other dynamic in play.

Correct, the policies and decisions of the Trump administration.

This isn’t hard to figure out, it’s not permanent, and it isn’t a mystery. MAGA completely lost the middle and under 40 votes.

It’ll be up to post-MAGA GOP to earn it back.

The less educated more indoctrinated under 40 populace.

Absolutely makes sense. I see it as I watch my grandchildren.

All candidates are flawed. Difference is the raving lunatic democrats don’t care about flaws as long as they have a D by their name and will vote for their person, place, or thing.

You nitwits with Texas peen envy can keep celebrating the “downfall of Texas.” When y’all are done high-fiving, pull up an electoral map and show me a realistic path to 270 for a Republican who loses Texas. Which states are making up those 40 electoral votes? fricking morons


I mean I get your point, this is a major blow and will be difficult, but not impossible.

Just this past election Trump didn’t need Texas to win.

I feel the bigger take here is the psychology of it.

What a fall from grace, Texas and the story of it was the crown jewel of this country considering the rugged history of it.

And now they just “elected” a fig got vegan.

Paxton was a horrible candidate and Talarico was acceptable enough to a majority of the populace to hold their nose and vote for him. Paxton’s ethical issues weren’t acceptable to most people that can look past the R or D

There is no path to 270 without Texas, Georgia, or North Carolina, you are wish casting and what conservative Republican who doesn’t exist is going to carry states like Pennsylvania and Michigan? It sure as heck won’t be anyone currently on the Republican bench.

Texas should be more closely related to prancing than to manliness now.

The Texas Prancers. Texas A&M Prancers. Just Sounds right.

Californians are liberal cockroaches that destroy everywhere they move to. Add in the Islamic dirt diggers and you have your answer.

I'll ask again, but why does the Left elevate trans community so hard? Aside from the virtue signaling, why? What's in it for you?

I'm not celebrating the fall of Tejas but nobody has this. It exists only in the minds of people who live there, similar to New Yorkers.

I don't think about them. They don't impact my life in any way. I see 1 or 2 of them a year in my activities in Houston. This is not, in any way, enough to have sway on who I decide to vote for in the state where I reside. And the political obsession over them is fricking weird. They. Don't. Matter.

Obsession and fixation over shite that doesn't matter is on brand for you. I know. Your movie board act makes that very clear. But I don't care about them at all.
