“I’d rather vote for a guy who skips a tenth of his votes, hikes the electric bill, and tried to overthrow a presidential election before I’d give up weapons used (repeatedly) to slaughter school children”
The exit polls showed that Beto won the vote for the Senate race among native born Texans. So despite all the bad stuff people say about Texas, it’s really all of those immigrants from other states that are ruining Texas.
And Ken Paxton is one of the most corrupt politicians in Texas. There’s a good chance that if he leaves office, he’ll be arrested by federal authorities soon afterwards, you know, if there’s not a corrupt person in the White House. Paxton was impeached by the Texas legislature unanimously.
So, Paxton has kind of shot himself in the foot by being so openly corrupt. Hopefully it will be enough.
The gun comment was during the 2020 presidential primaries, didn’t affect his 2018 Senate run. Definitely affected the 2022 Governor race, but I honestly don’t think he actually wanted to run and just did so for the state party to save face when there were literally zero serious candidates announced for the primaries before he announced (like seriously nobody with any political experience, and one candidate without even a web site).
Beto had a decent chance until he said he was coming for the AR-15s. I mean at least let your opponents say that, don’t feed them the sound byte.

Mhmm yep. Very normal society.
