If you are saying Cornyn would have performed better, then frick you. I wrote so many letters to that guy that he didn't even have the decency to send a form reply back. That guy was a worse candidate than paxton and I would have voted Democrat myself just to see him out of office

I am SO ready for that. Remember when Elon threatened to start a new party? I hope he has that in the wings ready to go.

I am saying principled GOP voters had no viable GOP Senate choice. In the end I did what you said.

Now, I could be wrong, but if you’re suggesting that it’s understandable how Republican voters in Texas might have abstained from voting, regardless whether it meant Talarico winning, because Paxton was just that bad a candidate…..if that’s the case I’m excessively confident that actual normal people with a reasonable level of common sense find that type of reasoning what you might call retarded. Utterly, uselessly retarded. On a number of levels.

Feel free to clarify that the above scenario is not at all the premise of your argument, but also know that there are plenty such “thinkers” right here among us.

i mean even if we did not have 60 votes for the SAVE act or anything else, they did not even try. they shoulda been trying to ram through as much legislation as possible the last 2 years because we knew this was a possibility based on past precedent(losing midterms)

OR they coulda used the budget reconciliation to ram it through. dems did dirty shite to ram obamacare through. i get it. thune is scared dems will use it to ram their stuff through. but the GOP does not even fight like dems. it is beyond pathetic and sad. they seem to love being the minority.

That is fair. You sent your message and I hope they hear it, but they won't, until every last one of them is out of office. I get that. The party hasn't been responding to its constituents and act like our vote is a given because the alternative is shite.

This the need for a third well funded party to enter the vacuum that addresses the concerns from all sides that aren't based on the social policies that divide us.

Texas has imported too much of India


It is not just Indians. In fact, I would place them behind Mexicans, Muslims, and Asians on the TX political influence scale. None assimilate. Zero appreciation of the DoI or the COTUS. Just leeches.

Here's a test case or two: see if you can find an Anglo gastrointestinal doctor say in Plano or an Anglo pulmonary doc in Webster. It will quickly Texan has become foreigner based.

And did you know there is a Katy Asian sector - just north of I-10 and east of HW99 and that there are street signs on Bellaire (Houston) in Mandarin?

I agree with all of that.

I don’t know how viable or strong a third party can be, remains to be seen.

But at least the GOP in Texas sees now that they can be held accountable if they ignore the people’s well being and focus only on their mega donors’ goals.

LOL, keep telling yourself that, while you continue to lose. Texas is blue now and will get bluer.

Too many of you think electors are more loyal than they are. Swing voters moved Blue as an anti-Trump anti-Iran War vote. Fix your shite and Texas is Red in 2028.

Trump had a score to settle. He doesn’t care if the Democrat won as long as he could get his enemy.
