The way I see it is there would be no voting difference between Cornyn and Paxton, so Paxton winning the primary is a boon to the democrats.
No. The reason these people keep winning is because these voters are stupid. They’ll starve rather than not vote for MAGA. And all this nonsense about Dems winning the midterms by hugely amounts is propaganda to keep Dems home and not vote. Every election cycle it’s the same shit.
Anyone here from Texas? I’ve been out of the state for the last ten years, but this outcome doesn’t surprise me and I have near zero faith that Talerico gets elected.
Honestly, im pretty sure our voting machines are rigged. Thats the only way that makes sense for Ted Cruz.
Eh, I guess. If only Rafa had vacationed in Mexico more.
And that was some of his best work as a senator.

Any headline that ends in a question mark can be answered by the word “No”.
Maybe read that wiki.
It basically says there’s been lots of research that indicates this assertion is incorrect.
Ackshuly ☝️ - ah, nevermind.
Did we write an article that may convince people everything will be OK without them needing to do anything?
Depends if dems keep brining up guns. If they shut up about it then maybe.
Unfortunately, the only guns acceptable to Democrat politicians are the ones used to shoot themselves in the foot
Talarico seems right of Dems and slightly left of Republicans on gun control.
But, it doesn’t matter. Republicans will focus on anything that can be spun as anti-gun. A Democrat could be the most ardent 2A supporter and a devout Christian and Republicans will still find a way to spin their stance as bad for their base.
Single issue voters will never budge from the side they perceive as their champions. But, Independents might swing his way and disaffected Republicans and the ones that just hate Paxton might stay home.
Ironic that if Dems just acted like moderate Reps for a election session they would win by a mile
Never trust in Texas
Trump didn’t endorse Paxton until early voting was more than halfway over, and Paxton won by a significant margin. Trump might have affected the margins a bit, but there’s no way Trump’s endorsement alone changed the outcome of this race.
Not this shit again.
The blue dogs have some insane attachment to the idea of flipping Texas and pour billions into an impossible task.
It’s not impossible. There’s lots of Latinos in Texas, and for obvious reasons, Trump and Republicans aren’t very popular with Latinos right now.
How they ever were popular with them is still mind-boggling to me. Yeah conservatism runs deep but Trump is a well established racist who also hated paying his contractors
How they ever were popular with them is still mind-boggling to me.
Latinos are likely to identify as Catholic.
The Catholic church was/is very much against abortion.
Republicans campaigned on getting rid of abortion.
… That alone is a big part of it. But at this point the ‘getting rounded up into concentration camps’ issue might begin to outweigh the abortion issue.
That, I do get but dang that’s swallowing a whole lot of garbage for a sliver of something desirable
Trump wants allies in the Senate, and he’s used his platform and power to persuade voters to kick Cornyn out of office for being “very disloyal.” But Cornyn voted with Trump over 99 percent of the time, according to his campaign, and now, Trump risks losing a Republican in the Senate—however disappointed he may be with them—because an open seat is much easier for Democrats to flip than ousting an incumbent.
Well, here’s to hoping 🥂
Hope is good. Action is better. Every last person in Texas able to needs to vote
