I feel like that's probably what's going to happen with a lot of people who lost primaries because of Trump

He's 74 years old. Even if he sits on the sidelines until Trump conks out, he's gonna be too old to make any kind of meaningful re-entry into politics. So yeah. He can do some damage, and he should.

He should start a write in campaign. Though I suppose he's not angry enough to split the Republican vote and give the skein to Talarico.

How about courageous enough!?

and he ultimately defeated the incumbent Massie.

Massie has been now been hinting that there are many more names of interest in the Epstein files and that he will
name more names in Congress from the Files. He's also contending that Ms. Melanoma knows a lot more than she's acknowledging, and Massie claims he knows her involvement. Stay tuned, Folks!

He'll just go on the lobbying circuit - earning millions for just making a few phone calls a year.

If this guy had one ounce of character, it would have manifested itself years ago.

Am not holding my breath

Paxton & Trump just ate your lunch. Sucker!

And you will support them. Sucker!

Correct me if I got this wrong in the flood of news.

They're all just competing for the warmest spot up Trump's ass.

...

And every time he repeats it, he’s telling us who HE is. Amazing that Cornyn only now seems to have clued in to that. But that seems to be typical Republican - they only care when it affects them.

That is all.

...fearful that they may be next?

They could of collectively gotten rid of the mad king long ago and saved their own asses.

Given our circumstances, this and related fables need a bump up the priority ladder

Hilarious that Cornyn is just now getting it.

Same message though. That’s who he/they are. No changing them and some people will never learn this lesson.

should have watched this

A scorpion wants to cross a river but cannot swim, so it asks a frog to carry it across. The frog hesitates, afraid that the scorpion might sting it, but the scorpion promises not to, pointing out that it would drown if it killed the frog in the middle of the river. The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. The frog gets into deep water and immediately dives to the bottom, dooming the scorpion.

When the frog resurfaces a few feet from the scorpion, the doomed scorpion screams out, "why did you do that? I can't swim! Now I will surely die!"

"Do you think I don't know what you are?"

🤔

That is all

Or do TX voters just hate Cornyn?

Just curious. I haven't been following the TX republican primary at all.

All I know sure is that I want Talarico to win that seat more than ever now. Cornyn is awful, but Paxton is a monster.

It's interesting that the split between Cornyn and Paxton was so much wider in the runoff. It went from a point and a half difference to Paxton getting almost twice as many votes as Cornyn. No wonder Cornyn's upset.

I need to read up on this runoff election stuff. I am not as familiar with it as I need to be.

We'll see if Cornyn makes waves. I don't know if he has it in him to buck this administration.

It's like Melania wearing her "I don't care, do U" jacket on the way to see kids in cages.

Cornyn's hurt, pissed, disappointed, etc etc etc, and instead of just being direct, he's passive-aggressive and posts a fable.

We'll see if he keeps backing Trump to the bitter end.

Fitting end to his career to lose to a pig like Paxton.

"The reason they wrote these fables is so you’d learn them as a child, not when you’re 74," reminded The Bulwark's Will Saletan.

But, whether he realizes it or not, it's a "Look in the mirror, dummy!" moment.

More like lack of character.
