The Texas GOP Is Messing Itself

[Zincwarrior]

Yep, and a Paxton v Talarico race is the last thing the Republicans want.

The Ads do write themselves in that one.

Yep, and a Paxton v Talarico race is the last thing the Republicans want.

Paxton was indicted on state security fraud charges.

Several senior aides in Paxton's office accused him of "bribery, abuse of office, and other crimes".

The Texas House of Representatives impeached Paxton by a vote of 121–23, leading to his suspension from office.

Federal prosecutors opened a separate investigation into related allegations, but Trump's Justice Department dropped all charges against the Trumper.

He's obviously a MAGA superstar.

Talarico's curriculum vitae is not nearly as colorful.

Chomping on one another's throats is fat more entertaining for many.

And kicking the left's ass seems to be pretty regular and entertaining too.

How is it just having the senate......oh, wait.

More like a Bill Clinton acolyte.

MAGA's focus is far more against than for.

Do you use similar derogatory terms for Democrat supporters?

No, because you do.

And if you claim you don't, certainly many of your buddies here do.

You...you mean the GOP doesn't march in lockstep?

These days, you're called a "traitor" if you don't. Just ask MTG and Thomas Massie.

But we were told it does not happen??

So Cornyn actually won by about 1%, however he and Paxton now go into runoff.

Cornyn got less than 50% plus one vote

The runoff is law and I think he will lose

All your points are accurate.

All your points are accurate.

I voted for Cornyn in the primary because he has the best chance to win in november

But I will vote for Paxton in the general if he wins the runoff
