Paxton is a better conservative than Cornyn. He better represents our policies.

Should we continue voting for Republicans in primaries who are more appealing to democrats and independents to make the general easier?


Is Talafreako better or worse than Cornyn?

That seems counterintuitive after all our complaints about the senate not passing laws we want because of people like Cornyn.


And is it more likely they will pass with Talafreako?

This should be a lesson for your complaints and bad takes.

Is Talarico a bad candidate for the 16% independent voters?

By any sober metric, Talarico is a total trainwreck.


Apparently not compared to the psycho that is Paxton.

Remember this dumbfrick jumped in to threaten the Big12 if they sanctioned Texas Tech for playing Sorsby

That’s so original you just have to assume it’s true.

Political strategist and former Harris County, TX, Republican Party precinct chair Rebecca Trahan sees this as a problem, she tells RedState.


Never heard of her, never saw her active in any joint campaign efforts for the party in Harris County.

quote:

In the past,] Texas has had overwhelmingly more registered Republicans, but now Democrats hold the majority. [There are] so many frustrated, abandoned, and disaffected Republican voters who have been driven to the Independent Party, who right now are leaning towards Talarico, but could still vote for Paxton. The Independent Party today comprises 16.24 percent of Texas voters.....


This is fiction.

Texas does not have party registration. We have open primaries, and this year more Democrats voted in the US Senate primary election than Republicans. About 2.3 million to 2.1 million.

There is no such thing as "The Independent Party," and certainly no way to measure that figure of 16.24 percent. If she's referring to registered voters with no partisan primary history, that number would be much, much higher.
