That's a different argument. It's one thing to not agree with his politics, it's another to disparage his ability. The first is a matter of opinion; the second is just wrong.

Do Attorney Generals typically strike deals? Other than plea bargins to get their buddies off light for sec crimes I mean.
You’re falling for lines used in campaign ads. The ads leave out factual information.
The buddy you are referencing was tried by jury. The jury failed to find him guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. To make matters worse, the victim refused to cooperate for a second trial. The prosecutor (not Ken Paxton) offered a plea bargain. The presiding judge (not Ken Paxton) accepted the plea and sentenced the guilty to 60 days in prison.

I'm always reminded of Clayton Williams back in the late 80s. I'm paraphrasing " If you're being raped, there's nothing you can do about it so, you should sit back and enjoy it."

Cornyn is also a piece of shite.
And again, non Texas tax payers should keep their mouths shut when it comes to Texas.

You should read the WSJ article before you dismiss this. One of the fugitives donated 190k to Paxton, including 25k in the days after his indictment.
What is the appearance of impropriety?
A State Attorney General for Texas has no influence over a federal prosecution in Chicago. How would Paxton have known these individuals had warrants for their arrest at the time of this NY Eve party in Dubai?

Cornyn actively hates his own constituency and has made that well known.
He also stopped things from getting to Trump's desk so that he wouldn't vote against him.
I say this as no defense of Paxton. He's scum.
I voted for Hunt.

JD Vance running around the country saying he’s fighting health care fraud while his nominee for the senate in TX who he completely supports is partying in Dubai with a guy whole stole over $300 million in health care fraud and gave Paxton $190,000.

If there is any group in the US who should keep their mouths shut about picking candidates it is goofy Georgia fuc** . You have not one but two dimtard scum senators and at least one, warnock, was elected in a crooked election.
We haven't elected that disgusting, disappearing, mentally ill talafreako yet no matter what the lying polls say.
And by the way, Cornyn is a RINO who we gladly ran off.

We are doing our best to get rid of Paxton and Abbott to get things moving in the right direction.

It’s like Trump secretly wants to give the majority to the dems. 8d chess, amiright?

As in Texas you mean campaign contributions to Ken Paxton for 100k+ from two indicted men?
How do you feel about your candidate being propped up by a fat slob who was a regularly on Epstein island?

trump didn't endorse paxton until he was sure he would win, that's the way trump operates he only endorses people that he's sure based on internal polling will win.
paxton has won 3 state wide elections in spectacular fashion, i voted for him twice we moved from texas back in 2021 if we hadn't it would have been 3.
the he's a crook allegations have been swirling around paxton since 2016, george p. bush ran against him in 2022 with the sole issue being the paxtons a crook allegations. he even created a website called ken paxton is a crook. he lost by 30 points.
the day of the runoff polling had cornyn and paxton in a virtual tie, paxton won the race by 30 points.
there's nothing that could have made me vote for cornyn, i simply wouldn't have voted, left that spot blank, just like i refused to vote for ted cruz, like i didn't vote for romney or mccain.

Cornyn was your classic old school Democrat who used the Republican Party trick to get elected.
That’s the story of most RINOS.
That was never much of an issue until it came down to either being for America First (Nationalism) or supporting for America to be pro-Globalization.
These RINOS had to go because they stood with Davos like the Democratic Party did.

So now we need to know whether the Paxton campaign knew about the criminal allegations or not when they accepted the donations.
But that’s probably why this story is coming out now. A more complete story that could absolve Paxton is not likely to affect those voters who just need a story like this to influence their vote. That’s usually the pattern with October surprises.

How anyone can dispute this is beyond me. It’s absolutely true.

cornyn lost the runoff by THIRTY POINTS moron, an endorsement won't overcome 30 points boy. had trump endorsed cornyn he still loses and the narrative becomes MAGA has left trump!
trump didn't endorse cornyn because he knew he couldn't win. if you want to play the "for the good of the party"card place the blame on cornyn for running for reelection when his internal polling was telling him he couldn't win and he was contemplating retiring.

Got a link to that?
Or was that what Cornyn told you?

Both parties are terrible at picking milk toast bland middle of the road candidates.
