he hasn't

, too, urge Republicans who aren't enthusiastic about the top of the ticket to turn out and vote anyway and make sure to vote all the way down the ballot. The solid candidates in down-ballot races need your support more than ever this year. However, for the sake of the Republican Party, let me encourage you to do your research and vote your conscience and principles. Otherwise, we’ll be defined by scandalous characters who seem to have no conscience or principles.


thats his quote
show me, where he said to not vote for paxton?

And yes, I kinda cherry-picked the quote I chose.
So here's the entire thing and you can make up your own mind

I wouldn't say that. I would say the media is not going to report it as widely as the GOP is.

Maybe, just maaaaybe Paxton is sooooo crooked they are worried about getting struck by lightning outside the voting booth.....even with Paxton cavorting with Tracy Duhon for some sort of "cover".

I’m not saying that.

I’m just interpreting his comments and how it is that MAGA is all up in arms over his comments…

lol. Nice gif.

Alternatively, if that is nonsense and doesn’t rustle your feathers…then there is no reason to be upset by Ed Emmett’s comments.

I posted it because you never answered fOwl's question - you just cherry picked that line to try to make some moral argument.

Answer fOwl's question.

Ed Emmitt is the lazy frick who lost to Lina Hildalgo. frick his lazy arse.


But that was also the year we had a choice to vote straight ticket. Unfortunately, Houston is solid blue, that's why an idiot like Dora the Explorer snuck into office.
Then when it appeared Hidalgo would lose re-election, several Republican majority polling sites mysteriously didn't have enough ballots to issue out...

That was a cheeky answer to the question. Because it’s funny to see him getting trashed for not really saying all that much.

Did he explicitly say don’t vote for Paxton?….no.

But yet, y’all are all pissed off at him for some reason. Thread title says he is acting like a spoiled child.

So to set the record straight, you can just explain the what problem with Ed Emmett’s comments actually is…

it was beto voters that showed up just for beto and straight ticket voted.

She only won by 19k votes.

Even the chronicle was openly mad about him losing. Only redditors thought Dora was up to the task. Of course, like redditors, she had a mental breakdown
