Thing with the communist Talarico, running story after story about him claiming he’s winning in a landslide according to polls.

It’s pretty unnerving watching the communist party inch closer to power every election cycle

Paxton isn’t Cruz. He has a terrible reputation. And Cruz only won by a couple of percentage points. Texas could lose this seat for a generation like Louisiana lost the seat by running Woody Jenkins. Candidate quality matters.

Texas GOP voters could have chosen Wesley Hunt, and they’d have both gotten rid of Cornyn and easily won this race.

I still think Paxton wins, but why the hell did they have to pick one of the biggest a-moral POSs of the TX political class? Just giving your opponents and the leftist media free ammo all day long.

Paxton is a rock star. He will do what is right for America.

Politicians, for the most part, are egotistical filth. Most normal people would never want that job. The pool of power-hungry psychopaths who have no shame is pretty thin.

Some say DC corruption, bribery, theft of your tax $ and adultery is out of control and can’t get any worse.

Ken Paxton wants to prove you wrong.

Paxton is a joke, but you're a fool if you don't realize there are just as bad or worse already in DC.

Correct but Beto was a much better candidate than Talarico as well.

Talarico can at least form a sentence of his own mind, whether you agree or not with it

Beto was just copy and pasting Obama quotes while eating whataburger. Anytime he got off script he stuck his dick in garbage disposal

Had 2020 happened before Beto ran, he would have plenty of equally as retarded quotes to back track on. Really the summer of love was a gift to Republicans

DC corruption is unavoidable but voting for a trans loving, closeted gay is not against your morals? You need to reexamine your morals but maybe you like destroying young kids lives? A lot of Dems do so you fit in well but save your faux moral outrage

Beto is basically AOC without the tits. Puppet on a string.

Dems have no morals which is 75% of the problem.

Hey there Sarge, don’t be concerned one bit. The media is simply playing a false narrative that the race is tight.

Who benefits from this false narrative?

Bingo… the media!!!

They get Talifreako and Dem/Socialists to think their weirdo really has a chance. So, more advertising dollars are poured into the race.

On the flip side… oh no, Republicans may lose Texas so they are inspired to pour more money into the race.

Freak show Talarico has no chance of winning Texas.

It’s Christian suburban Texas republicans not showing up

Paxton will be a Senator next year while you toil away in obscurity.

That concept does not land with many here. There’s zero voter enthusiasm on the right.

Talarico has been flooding the airwaves with very positive commercials for two months. I have yet to see even one Paxton spot on TV since he defeated Cornyn in the runoff.

I believe Paxton knows he's toast. And the endorsement of a president who has a 33% approval rating is the coup de grace. Paxton is finished
