That’s an indictment on voters.
It is a voters responsibility to understand what’s at stake with each candidate.

Not being thrilled with one vs KNOWING the danger of the other should be enough, but once again, voters will be to blame if they allow this sht.


This ain’t high school treasurer.

Dude got 64% of the vote verses a long time incumbent. I think he'll be fine.

Cornyn was DOA in the primary as soon as Trump didn’t endorse him. I don’t think it’s indicative of a mid term race where the President is not polling well.

I thought you were going another way.

Reparations would suck at first, but honestly we all know what will happen in about 83% of cases, and the other 17% that money would end up getting reinvested into the economy in net positive ways. (investment, job creation, etc) let's just make sure that if someone receives reparations that they are completely taken off of food stamps, welfare, section 8, and can not go back on. That's the agreement.

I'd be all for it then. It would permanently end that argument.

Wow, I wonder why the MSM is so over the top with attention on the Dem candidate?

It’s going to be closer to Beto/Cruzio result. Watch.

Paxton will more than likely win but not by much. Ol Kenny has shot himself in the cockholster multiple times this election season and isn’t doing himself any favors. I have yet to see a single ad from Paxton, he’s dealing with voting issues from his multiple properties and frankly, isn’t that well liked. Not to mention his infidelities isn’t helping.

I’m all for it if one can prove they were a slave in this country.

They were lower overall volume than desired. That could interpreted as a gauge of enthusiasm.

I agree with you wholeheartedly. Five will get you ten that Talarico blows out the Trump puppet crook who's as ugly as sin in addition to being severely ethically challenged.

Hopefully we will finally get reparations for all the Egyptian/Babylon/Syrian/African bondage our great forefathers endured.

538/Kalshi shows it as a tossup.

Talarico is running a very favorable campaign, focussing on families and pocketbook issues, such as gas prices, grocery prices, and inflationary pressures. Also touting his bipartisan credentials in crossing the aisle to help reduce property taxes. Also his cool Western-themed imagery of him as a cowboy riding horseback across a vast Texas ranch with an atmospheric music background works wonders in the Lone Star State.

Basically Talarico's packaging works, moreso than Beto or Colin Allred. He'll win, and Texas will breathe a sigh of relief

No thanks, I'll take the morally corrupt guy who took on the Biden administration when his weak arse governor wouldn't.

Stop! Paxton is already unpopular. No need to make it worse.
