Im not arguing against Paxton. I just pointed out that he’s a well known liar and that’s why no offer to drop out would have been taken seriously. I’m sorry that hurts your feelings but that’s a you problem.

What I am saying is that Paxton may be a liar but Cornyn lied to his constituents. He got punished for it. He was given the option to back the Save act and keep his seat. His constituents wanted it buy over 80%. He declined. What does that tell you about him?

Yes Ken Paxton is a liar. That’s well known by everyone


Didn't the freak's own pastor admit he was a liar?

Riding the high horse of the "other guy" being a liar when it comes to politics is laughable.

This may come as shock to you but there are plenty of people that don't care about Paxton, Coryn, or Talarico.

You might think that everyone needs to cheerlead for someone but that is not the case.

If there are any other extremely obvious things that need explaining to you I'm sure someone here can help you out.

You think Cornyn would have won the primary had the Save Act been passed?

The basic argument is that non RINOs will still vote for RINOs while RINOs will never vote for true Republicans.

This had nothing to do with freako. It’s about Cornyn not taking Paxton up on his offer to drop out. Why would he believe he would honor the deal? He’s untrustworthy.

What does this have to do with Paxtons offer to drop out and there being zero reason why anyone should trust his word?

At first blush, that seems logical, but it doesn't necessarily translate to the general.

I am not saying this is the fact just pointing out the possible logic hole:

Paxton won the primary ~2/3 to 1/3. It is possible, given Paxton's "issues," that he can't pull in a large number of that 1/3rd that voted for Cornyn. While it is arguable that Cornyn would have an easier time pulling in the 2/3rds that voted for Paxton. The point is that some people may not have voted or voted D because of a significant dislike for Paxton. I think it is clear Paxton has a big group that dislikes him among R voters. It "feels" like that number is larger than with Cornyn.

Again not arguing that this is fact but I think your proffer has potential holes.

If Ken Paxton offered a quid pro quo would you honestly trust him to uphold his end of the deal? That’s what this is about. Idk why yall try to keep trying to shift the conversation to defend him.

You’re even more batshit crazy than the other guy. I have zero desire to try to discuss anything serious with you.

Blame Cornyn. Most of that was spent and given to him for the primary.


The NRSC spends on incumbents during a primary
