Just saying

it's full of (MAGAt) Texans.

Paxton is a huge POS....as bad or worse than Trump. If we can't beat this turd, we'll never win anything down there again.....EVER.

Vote totals seem to magically change out there - and always in the direction of whomever Big Awl wants.

Of winning a statewide race there. If he can’t win against a degenerate corrupt scum bag like Paxton, there’s little hope for Dems in the state and better to invest elsewhere…

are reporting as 83% in?

Example from NBC news is Culberson County in far west has 38 R votes counted and 95% in.
In the primary the vote count was more than double that in R.

Hedspeth just east of El Paso is bigger than Delaware and has 3000 or so residents.

should not be considered irredeemable!

Turds of a feather.

Wife and I were watching a Yankees-Royals baseball game, Yankees were ahead 12-1, game almost over, so she went to bed and I switched to Lawrence.

Lawrence was interviewing Talarico, the Democrat who will face Paxton.

Lawrence played the part of Paxton's victory speech where he attacked Talarico with every vile lie he could find. Paxton's attacks on Talarico are so vile, so evil, so filled with hate it almost made me puke.

If you have a chance to hear Paxton's attacks on Talarico, don't do it.

I did some quick Googling -- I may have missed the fine points, but this is what I found.

Paxton: 750,000 votes
Cornyn: 422,000
So -- that's a total of 1,172,000 votes cast in a Republican primary..

These numbers are with not quite 90% of the votes reported, so, my calcuations will change.

Texas has 18,700,000 registered voters; of those 18,700,000 are registered Republicans.

So -- Paxton's 750,000 votes are 11% of the total number of registered Republican voters but only 4% of the total number of voters.

If Democrats will turn out in November . . . .

March 2026: 18,657,918 registered voters

April 2026
Democrats: 8,182,838 voters (46.55%)
Republicans: 6,617,030 voters (37.64%)
Independent/Other: 2,778,772 voters (15.81%)

That’s what that looks like to me

Everyone can vote in the general so, maybe, enough sane people will overcome the maga hyenas.

still "above water" (more approval than disapproval in Texas polls) despite Democratic hopes. Paxton has NEGATIVE approval numbers
and negative GE polls.... and a much bigger Trump millstone around his neck than 2018,
and angrier Democrats, independents and hispanics all more anxious to vote, than in 2018...

This year's midterm election is looking much more like 2006 than 2018...
now we have another unpopular Republican war, just as in 2006...


I can understand the skepticism about Texas,
but this is an election year unlike any other,
with a Texas Republican Senate nominee worse than any other in memory---

so voicing that skepticism now is DEFEATIST talk, and extremely inappropriate at this moment!

HELL, I am more confident that the Democrat will win the Senate seat in TEXAS this year,
than I am about the Senate seat in my own state of Michigan, where we haven't elected a Republican
to the US Senate since 1994!---- according to all the data I have seen-- the Texas numbers are better!

The outcome was a foregone conclusion.

I imagine more than a few acquaintances informed him of his delusions as well.
