Nowhere near 1/3 of the voters are independent. You and a LOT of people like you put WAY too much emphasis on the supposed "independent vote".


The overwhelming majority of Independents lean Republican. They're not voting for Talifreako.

You ready for the false claims that you got the result you wanted when you never said you wanted the DSA fruit to win?

It’s coming.


First of all, that soy boy DSA fruit isn't winning... Second, OWL so blatantly wants Talifreako to win, it's fricking hilarious. He can claim that's not the case all he wants... But his emotional investment in arguing for Talifreako for weeks here says otherwise. He will be devastated when Talifreako loses.

The problem is not knowing how many of these Rs are switch votes from the Bush figs conspiring to screw over Paxton

This is the stupidest platitude in politics and shows how thin and myopic your thought process is.

To believe an “Independent” votes Marxist one election and Constitutional Conservative the next… is ridiculous.

People who actually vote back and forth like this are a very small percentage of the electorate.

Did you miss the 2016, 2020, and 2024 elections? We have seen just that, swinging back and forth each race

Retard post of the day!!!

Only a knuckle dragging mouth breather wouldn’t see the 2020 outlier of Joe Biden fraud and his 81 million votes.

I have never seen a single person so mercilessly stupid. I think you’re being intentionally obtuse just to alienate people.

Paxton is running a horrible campaign. He is playing not to lose instead of trying to win and that is a failed strategy. He has not featured himself in any campaign ads and is letting Democrats define him. He should have addressed his issues straight forward and blamed it on Democrats attacking him because he defends Texas and Texans and will continue to do so in the US Senate.

Ds usually trail Rs in early voting in Texas. Most of the time by double digits. Being tied, coupled with the independent vote, is terrible for Paxton and Abbot.

Rural voters are also woefully lagging urban/suburban in turnout so far compared to past midterms. You can almost feel a “pissed off indifference” in rural Texas nowadays. Data centers, school vouchers, gas/diesel prices… they won’t vote D but are sitting out.

How excited are you at the prospect of having a beta male representing you in the Senate? No need to hide behind the fact that you are voting for Talarico, you have admitted such so quit pretending to be an election expert. You are wish casting

Republicans are up .7% now. Hopefully they finish early voting strong and come out big on Election Day .

So what you're saying is Trump Republicans are voting for Talarico instead of simply abstaining from Paxton?

No actual Republican is voting for Talrico. Paxton is a sleeze (he's a politician) but he's been a good AG. Talrico is a commie and also a sleeze.

This happens every election cycle. Dems do well with early voting in Texas and everyone thinks the state is purple then they lose.

Let’s see the performance from these groups before making any declarations

Latino voters
First time voters
Independents
Bush republicans
Black voters

That’s what tips the scales if the primary voters are essentially even

Edit - performance meaning both vote totals and actual vote selection

Trump republicans definitely are. You're smoking crack if you think Trump is keeping 100% of the Rs.

This is the tard take of the week. You think black Dems are voting for Trans Texas guy? LMAO. There are going to be more Dems crossing over to Rep in TX than ever before because of this psycho. And that's what he is.

Would you prefer these posts questioning the status quo be deleted or hidden?

Or are you primarily concerned with just discouraging this discussion?
