Well, the good news is the bad news.

The good news is Cornyn is out! The bad news is that a MAGA Cult prick is the nominee for the GOBer seat!

Trumped back Paxton is the nominee. The mini corrupt Republican Trump lookalike is as bad Trump. Corrupted through and through, Paxton has been divorced because of his infidelity affair, he has been a crooked politician and his love for Trump is his game!

Now Paxton has to face Democrat nominee, Talarico in November to win the US Senate seat.

Cornyn was a lame excuse, but Paxton is worse. We all need to behind Talarico. It will be a hard election to pull off this.

Paxton is 10x worse than Cornyn and that is why Trump is pushing for Paxton.

Not a whole lot to say but let’s help get Talarico to the finish line! Everything is a stake and it will cost us dearly if Paxton should come out as the winner.

Paxton must be beaten! Period, end of story!

...and choosing the darkness of another deeply corrupt politician to send to Washington.

There are no more excuses for backing corrupt politicians. When given the choice the Republican party now lusts to put the most corrupt and vile people they can find into power despite knowing where that leads--or probably because of it.

President [REDACTED], Paxton, and all of the other horrible people we see taking over control of our government are just a symptom of the depravity of one of the two major political parties in the America of the 2020s.

THAT is what we are up against--and it isn't going away any time soon....

Democratic nominee. Not Democrat nominee. Using the noun as an adjective is a perjorative because Republicans don't like a word whose double meaning has positive connotations. Though, that's why we got the name in the first place.

Not every use of this is trying to insult--it is a lack of education and poor grammar skills in some cases. But the fact that this usage arrived in the last decade and didn't happen before that means to me that it is intentional.

Paxton has some awful baggage - he's totally corrupt, and his nose is up Chump's butt - the people of Texas deserve better. Now is the time for everyone to pull together and send James Talarico to Washington.

Come on Texas Democrats, you can win this!

He's a crook with all the charisma of a cold, greasy pork chop.

At least Cornyn had that old southern gentleman thing going for him, thin veneer that it was. It was enough to inspire stupid people. The main hope Texas has is that they look at Paxton, yawn, and stay home on election day.

That fact needs to be hammered home by the Talarico campaign, and ALL democratic campaigns across the country. This is trump's specialty: pardoning criminals and loving pedophiles.

But I would note that Talarico got more Primary votes than cornyn or paxton got in primary or runoff.
And that Crockett also got more primary votes than cornyn or paxton.

And that Crockett and Talarico together got almost half a million more votes than C&P together in the primary. Democrats got about 150k more than Republicans, all added up.
