The crazies being let out of the California loony bin coupled with open boarders will ruin this whole country before it's over with.

States should have the right to force transplants to have their votes counted in the state they left for at least a generation until it can be determined that these people fleeing democrat hell holes are not bringing their retarded political with them.

There's no scenario in which Abbott loses. I don't even like Abbott because he's done nothing the last 12 years as Texas descends into its 3rd world hellhole future. But he doesn't have the enemies Paxton has and is more palatable for the idiotic white suburban idiots. Paxton has major RINO enemies and they'd give the US Senate seat to a Democrat if it meant getting rid of Paxton.

Paxton is at least starting to run better ads and showing what a freak Twinkrico is. His first few ads in the late summer were terrible.

The republicans leaned in hard on a bad candidate with baggage. This may go like how JBE's election went in Louisiana vs Vitter.

Vitter won a US Senate race 57-38 AFTER his scandal broke. Voters are fine with sending baggage off to Washington. They don't like voting for people like that for Governor.

just speaks to Paxton Cornyn would wipe the floor with Talafreako, who is a shitty candidate. People don't like Paxton. He's made a lot of enemies in his life and is a lazy campaigner.


That’s why he beat Cornyn and won statewide office multiple times already. You’re an absolute moron slowfloretard

Two opposite ends of the republicans. Patrick is the ultimate bush/rove rino like yourself and can get fricked.
Paxton is America first.

Perhaps. I don't remember the 57-38 win for Vitter or much about Melancon. Maybe JBE was a better opponent? Or was Melancon just terrible?

I think you're probably right, and I have generally liked Abbot's tenure. But for 3 years straight he fast tracked every single data center and heavily supported the transmission line "superhighway" that goes straight through the property of the same constituents that voted for him. But suddenly, with 3 months left until election and public opinion on both completely in the shitter, we should thank him for slowing down permitting? For requiring water and energy usage reports prior to approval? For actions that already should have been in place if not for his "business friendly" policies?

He also should have checked Patrick on multiple occasions, but the best he could come up with was not signing the thc bill and delaying Dan for a year. He's come off as pretty cowardly lately. And his West TX voters, that have always been loyal to him, seem pretty pissed off.

Well yesterday he announced that he's blocking all the approvals for data centers after approving how many and taking water from rural districts to build how many it was a huge mistake and it's costing him and it was stupid to go back on it because he's not getting those voters back and now he looks weak

It's truly astounding to me that there are really people who don't realize (or as seemingly here, are capable of being convinced otherwise) that a vote for a Senator or Congressman is really nothing more than a vote for a proxy of whatever choice is most ideologically aligned with yourself.

Why anyone would possibly give a shite about anything else - especially once you reach the general election stage, is just patently absurd.

In a primary. The general is a different ballgame.

Primaries can be swung by motivated splinter groups but that doesn't mean much for the general election when you have to get the moderates and independent/swing voters on board.

I didn’t know the election had happened yet. Guess I missed it.

What happened to Texas is what happens to most great places. Republicans made it a paradise filled with money and nice things.

Democrats (are making) it like everywhere else they have invaded.
