Paxton defeated one of their favorite corrupt cohorts, so of course they hate him.

Talarico is doing his best to hand Paxton campaign fodder between the Karmelo Anthony nonsense and the transgender cross and Paxton can only be bothered to appear disheveled in public every other week.


It really is just terrible. How those are the 2 options for Senator from Texas id mind-boggling.

If Paxton loses, I'd hope this is a lesson for MAGA and the "RiNo" silliness

Agreed. Texas Dems can’t help but run the most effeminate figs

I hate it that those senators think they should have a job for life.

They didn’t budget because TX should be a safe seat for the GOP. They’ve budgeted to go after toss-ups or the possible chance to flip a blue Senate seat to red. Someone like James Talarico shouldn’t stand a chance in Texas. It’s a safe red seat, and the GOP candidate, whomever it is, should be able to keep it that way.


Except they relied on the president’s endorsement of a god awful candidate. Though that may be enough to swing some committed republicans it’ll do nothing for democrats and those who are undecided. Also given the way things are trending with the president his endorsement might mean even less come Election Day.

Talarico will take it. Don’t be shocked.

I can’t find it on Twitter but I saw pics over the weekend from his latest fundraisers and Paxton looks like a college kid that grabbed whatever wrinkled clothes were in a pile and wore them to go out. Keep in mind he’s going to need to ask for nearly nine figures to counter the DNC push. He’s such a clown.

Republicants are so fricking useless, let Talarico have Texas because of their bullshite.

The grand old party is the biggest fraud on the planet. But please, senator Kennedy, send me more mailers with your little quips asking for money.

The Democrats’ tent doesn’t make sense so they can’t help looking ridiculous. Have to pander to religious black people but also maintain support among Hispanics and also gays but also now Muslims. Hence why Talarico staffers thought it was a good idea for him to drape a cross in a queer flag while reciting a Muslim poem.

Let’s also take a minute to reflect on what’s being bitched about here. People are upset that that a political party and presidential administration aren’t paying for propaganda. Campaign cash that’ll be used to blow up televisions, radios, and internet streaming ads with the “republican message”. Why don’t we reflect on why it’s needed so badly? Why can’t Paxton make the case on his own? Why has his campaign been ran so horrificly? Why has his own personal messaging and appearances been so sub par and futile? Also is it just Paxton or is the entire party as a whole just performing terribly?

Talarico: “Ken Paxton is corrupt snd bought by his billionaire mega donors”

Ken Paxton:
June 10 - receives $275k from Cody Campbell
June 11 - sends letter to Big 12 intervening on Texas Tech’s behalf


Paxton isn’t exactly making himself a more appealing candidate over the last few months when people know him as the corrupt guy.

There is a lot of negative Talarico stuff, but the only real pro-Paxton argument is he’ll do whatever Trump says, and that’s not winning anyone in the middle.

Many from outside of TX, and probably many within TX, don’t realize what decades of immigration and a leaky border has done to the demographics of this state.

This state won’t be “safe” red much longer.

The pro Paxton argument is that he went after the biden admin and their agenda harder than 49 other state AGs.

I'd argue is is a pretty good AG. This race is not over.

If coryn would have won the primary then they would have money for the race . If they didn’t have so much for Texas maybe they should have spent so much in the primary . It’s almost like beating the peoples choice for republican senate is more important to them then beating the democrat.

The influx of Americans from places like California is a much bigger deal. This is the cost of economic development and intra-US population migration

Importing the educated class will turn you more DEM

If Cronyn would have won the primary, he wouldn't need this money.

If Paxton hadn't challeneged him, Cronyn wouldn't have had to spend all that money he did in the primary, also. Would be even better for the GOP.
