Polls will be right one day but I remember the Beto scare and thought it would have fallen then.

What? 49 of his 85 votes for were from dems. 49 is greater than half of 85.


When someone has won the speaker's race, those that give up their own candidate or their own agenda vote for the eventual winner

but leading up to that race there were three to four Republicans and one Democrat who wanted to run for speaker
Gene Wu was the Democrat

and the are 150 State Reps in Texas

Texas has been run by chamber of commerce republicans for the last 35 years. Being very business friendly led to the “Texas miracle” and moderate voters appreciated that. But they’ve drifted off into issues the average voter sees as either a waste of time and taxpayer money, or extreme.


Here’s a recent (earlier today) post from this same poster:


quote:

Talarico has a history of working across the aisle at least to get things done. More moderate than many other dems.

Paxton has no business being anywhere near public office unless you like bribery, pay for play and corruption. That’s for starters. His own staff of lifelong republicans and Texas lawmen turned him in. Despite the consequences, they went public anyway it was so bad.

He is the exact opposite of “draining the swamp” people around here seem to care so much about.

For anecdotal evidence in DFW, I was here during the Beto years and the yard signs were ridiculous. All over the place in my area and almost no Cruz signs. Talarico signs are in the usual spots, but it's nowhere near what it was for Beto.

If this is true there is no way in hell I’d ever move to Texas. Please keep all that garbage out of the South.

Abbott is NOT losing lol. Won't be close.

Paxton on the other hand.....should have found a better alternative to Cornyn than freaking Paxton.

paxton isnt Cruz

there are Republicans that will not vote for paxton

Ive said it all along, go back to my first warning
Whether you believe and of a bad paxton stuff you may think its false

NEVER MATTERED, paxton is so unliked, theres so much people who intimately know what he HAS done,,A WHOLE LOT of Republicans

paxton was never gonna win

And thats why I said he was the wrong choice, and now YOU TARDS gave us a talifreako who may be THE antichrist, his fake seminary shite

This whole thing is a plot,, they don't know I've been on to it

And paxton isn't disliked for his positions on issues
its the abuse of office and flaunting it

they like the corruption kept hidden

hispanics aren't going to vote for a gay guy with a trans kids fetish.

Allll those Republicans who HATE Paxton in Texas are so opposed to him that they didn’t go vote for Cornyn in order to keep Pax out of the running and Corn in (pun intended)? Isn’t that sorta the point of primaries? So what’s your explanation for Pax winning, despite allll those Republicans who HATE him??

never really challenged funding-wise because of West Texas oil money kept him safe until now

he could always outspend til this Senate Race and has a fanatical support amongst the more simple-minded and easily manipulated Republican pirimary voter

The Republican version of the purple-haired liberal moth breathers you see interviewed on TV?
there a polar opposite of that

There is always, throughout history, a political polar opposite; the early drunken nights in germany no different from the pot-filled rooms at berkeley in extreme political times. There are political extremists that look like anyone else or look no different than a million others

there are a lot of stupi people who vote
they are easily manipulated until its no longer works

paxton its run out of enough blind, dim-witted morons to win his elections
he a horrible candidate; he can't speak in public

and that wonkey eye alone freaks out 2% of voters regardless of party affiliation

So you’ve confidently called your shot then……Talarico wins, and although I personally wouldn’t hold you to this part, what I’m hearing sounds like Rico should do it by a comfortable margin, as well.

not as much as paxton will fail to get enough Republican votes in a Republican state Texasis solid red, paxton loses enough red for Texas to vote blue

Combined with gas prices, inflation, the Iraq war, ICE,, loveit, hate it agrre with it , disagrre with it

it all ads up as a weenie Senator from the Great State of Texas

he's a one-termer
