I think Paxton is going to win.
The day that conservatives start voting for non-conservatives because they think they have a better chance of winning, the GOP is over.
As it is, neither party is a true American party:
- The Democrat Party is not even an American party with 98% of them siding against America and not even considering Americans to be their first true responsibility.
- Of the GOP, it barely qualifies as conservative. 1/4 of the party are really just democrats (RINOS) who only ran as republicans because all of the DNC seats were already taken, or to water down the GOP with democrat votes. Half the republicans like all democrats are just on the take with whatever lobby group (foreign or domestic) is willing to bribe them the most. That leaves about 1/4 of one party actually out there trying to follow the law, stick to the rules, and actually fighting for Americans.
I believe Paxton fits into that latter category.
