re: The “cheating” claims are no better than the calls for more programs after horrible crimes

I didn't get it at first.

Now I do. As I suspected, this is stupid.

I believe these sorts of threads are fake to begin with.

rump ran in 2023-2024 on a platform of border control (check) and fixing the runaway train on affordability (disaster). Add in the constant trolling for a year by DHS (until adults got in charge), blatant Trump family self dealing, and Iran war, and the GOP was cooked.

Trump crushed the entire R ticket with a combination of failure, grift, and horrid candidate selection.

Folks can wrap there head around Trump being finished and start to ID a good R candidate for 2028 or the D's will have both House, Senate, and Oval Office.

You’re right. Saying Paxton was a bad choice on November 11 is a wild take. How could I?!

However you want to describe it, it’s still using hindsight to make your bold claim and prediction about the board finally mustering the ability to make that admission about Paxton. I don’t think anyone with sense enough to know not jump in a raging fire would understand that when you lose a race, perhaps you could’ve won with a different race horse. But again, it’s pure 20/20 hindsight, and that situation simply goes without saying. I don’t think it was too far a leap to envision the actual winner of the state primary, preceded by a statewide win for state attorney general, could or would be a viable candidate.

And it’s not lost on me that the loudest voices I personally “heard” railing against Paxton were those of “principled conservatives” who IMO were as much a factor in the Democrat victory there as anything else. So I’m just not going to be super impressed by those same folks now coming out and more or less boasting of their “achievement” to that end. I’m not necessarily directing that at you personally, I suppose it’s more of a general concept.
