Depending on the poll the fairy is winning independents somewhere between 20 and 40%. The GOP will get behind their guy. Unfortunately he’s just too toxic and lazy to win over anyone else

The lesson is the same the fringe DSA voters are finding out in non-blue parts of the country - electability matters

As does effort, which Talarico has made in spades while Paxton just woke up and realized you’re supposed to campaign in the general. It’s arrogance that would make Hillary blush

That Americans want leftists running the country.

Anyone telling you otherwise is a liar or a moron.

It won’t. Texas has been infiltrated some, but not enough.

A 1/2 decent Democrat candidate may win, he’s not that too much baggage.

If they stay home then they will get what they deserve, it’s pretty simple. You vote against Talerico and everything that comes with him or you stay home and he becomes your senator for the next 6 years. If you stay home and he wins, then you have no one to blame but yourself. Regardless of Paxton’s flaws, he isn’t a fake preacher masquerading as a moderate. Bold strategy, let’s see how it works out 6 years from now. You are going to regret what comes with his election just as Georgia Republicans do. Everyone claimed the elections of Ossoff and Warnock were a one off anomaly and Georgia is a “conservative” state that would correct itself in the next election cycle. They were wrong and Ossoff is fixing to be reelected.

That not enough smart people did not either get off their lazy arse to vote or too many stupid people pushed the wrong button.

Only viable explanation

It would tell me Trump has wrecked the Train.

The Train was strong when he was elected, but immediately he allowed Netanyahu, and his handlers, take control and run it over a cliff.
A shot in the ear will do that to a person, I suppose.

I live in a small town with lots of retirees from Austin, Dallas, Houston and elsewhere that bring their liberal bullshite with them. During the two Beto campaigns, I saw quite a few of his signs in yards. I’ve seen just one Talarico sign in the entire town. I realize the urban areas decide the elections here but I haven't seen any real excitement for the guy. I’m seeing Paxton signs in some yards of folks that have never been openly political before this point.

This isn’t a prediction just a comparison from previous election cycles here in Texas.

That they need to get out and vote... and commies have just taken over the formerly most conservative state in the country. Then I'll sit back and wait for any Dems wins completely backfiring on the people who "just couldn't bring themselves to vote for Paxton," via results of terrible commie policy, and then Democrats getting trounced in 2028 when people realize a little bit higher gas prices should have been the least of their concerns given all that is at stake.

Exactly what I'm seeing...and the few Talafreako signs are on the retirees' multimillion dollar ranches with road/highway frontage. But the usual liberals that had Beto signs everywhere...nada.

Upvote to CA for his user name.

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

It’s a hard lesson to learn, but candidate quality matters, and the GOP has a godawful candidate.
