That way he can say "n*****r b***h" without using those actual words, but MAGA knows that's exactly what he means. And I see he's now trying to suck up to Cornyn after kneecapping him, and Cornyn will probably fall right back in line despite the really savage campaign ads he threw at Paxton (and I hope those ads will benefit Talarico in the general).

Same passive-aggressive weaseling around as "Let's go Brandon,"

Except worse, because this one wears a hood and lights crosses on your lawn.

A family member did our family tree decades ago and Davy Crockett branched off from our family tree trunk. Of course, these days you can go to ancestry and find out your family tree trunk and branches.

- There are 17,578,640 registered voters in Texas: 6,617,030 registered as Republicans (37.64%), 8,182,838 as Democrats (46.55%), and 2,778,772 as Independents and others (15.81%),

- Paxton received 586,953 votes (63.5%) in the Republican senate primary run-off, Cornyn got 337,476 (36.5%), for a total of 924,429 votes,

Trump's endorsement didn't exactly bring out a lot of voters for Paxton.

The low turnout could have been possibly many Cornyn voters not voting and the Hunt voters and some Cornyn voters switching to Paxton. Cornyn was slightly ahead of Paxton in the March primary and the total Republican votes was higher than the runoff. Paxton gained over 200,000 votes from then even with the lower turnout and Cornyn lost over 100,000 votes.

Republican primaries typically attract the most extreme voters; usually only about 30% of hardcore conservative Republicans show up to vote for the most rightwing candidate on the ballot. This Senate run-off in texas only brought out a bit over 13% of all registered Republicans voters. That's not a very motivated GOP electorate, and certainly not a "landslide" win by any definition.

That data maybe taken for what someone voted in a primary?? But then it only applies for that calendar year.

"Texas does not have a closed primary system. On primary election day, voters choose which party's ballot they want, they don't need to be registered with that party. In Texas this choice is made privately at the polling place. Any registered voter can vote in any party's primary, regardless of their own party affiliation or registration status. Texas does not have registration by political party. A voter becomes a Republican by voting in the Republican primary or Republican primary run-off, the same for Democrats."

it is actually published by the clerks office when you vote in a primary (literally, on spread sheets in my county with name & address).

But it is not official and only holds for that primary & accompanying run-offs. For example, you vote democratic in the primary & then you vote in the run-off for democrats (you can't switch over and vote in the republican run-off). When the next primary comes you can switch if you want.

if at some point he heard the word “cisgender” and in the congealed blob of bacon grease he calls a brain thought, “Six genders?!? Unpossible!”

Somebody used the word "cisgender," context didn't matter, but his pudding brain heard it as "six-gender" and decided it was something to be against.

The shock value is gone. Every black person to him is low IQ (unless they’re his ass kissers like Uncle Thomas), every young white man he dislikes is Alfred E Neumann, blah blah blah.

I’m surprised he hasn’t slipped and just started yelling n* over and over! Perhaps the dumbest person in American politics calling others low IQ…

Trump's pathological addiction to things he finds racist, sexist, offensive, rude, hurtful, or "funny" isn't exactly news to me, but lately, I've been taking more notice of it, which means he's doing it more often.

And sometimes, when he gets the desired "fix"...when there's been enough outrage and negative reaction...he'll let it go and move on.

Case in point, the "dumocrats" thing, which he thinks is hilarious, rather than stupid., so he's slipping it into every public appearance.
