It appears that is definitely going to happen.

Paxton has pretty much no polls, enthusiasm, or momentum a month and a half out

Will they learn any lessons?

I doubt it.

All I am hearing from republicans is "no, but for real Paxton's winning because trust me bro"

Despite everything else screaming to the contrary.

If Paxton loses, the lesson is micro and it's don't nominate guys like Paxton

Cornyn or the other guy win this easily. Talarico is a shite candidate.

He isn't winning, quit being stupid. If he did win, it would tell Republicans that this country is now lost.

Get rid of the old guys and get some new blood in the party. If Talarico gets in, republicans won't be any more successful getting him out than Georgia is of getting rid of Ossoff or Warnock. He'll be in there for a generation.

Somebody voted for Paxton in the primary. What happened to them? Heads in the sand?

I’m not sure what it says. Republicans handily won the state in 2024 so it would probably just signal that in mid term election with a lot of frustration over costs don’t run a guy like Paxton.

The GOP would celebrate. They can’t wait to get on Fox News and complain about him to resounding cheers from boomers. Think of the memes!

This is 100% the problem. Just like in other key races, the R's, going along with Trump's strong endorsement, chose one of the worst candidates possible.

Almost like it's by design.

No, but they would cheer Republicans on TV “owning” him with catchy soundbites instead of attempting to understand why he’s there in the first place.
