And I'm one of them that's pro-Paxton and anti-Cornyn. Who's to say I won't stay home if it's Cornyn on the R ticket?


I certainly will.

And those that will a pass to every anti-Paxton homebody in November (if Paxton wins the primary) will come out with pitchforks for me.

Well that's not what Paxton would want for you to do. Paxton has said that he will endorse Cornyn should Paxton lose the runoff.

It gets even better than Cornyn's amnesty.

The RNC spent 95 million so far supporting Cornyn's run in the Texas Senatorial Primary, but only 20 million in Virginia for the redistricting vote.

Yeah, that's right. The Rino infested RNC spent over 4 times the amount of money on the POS Cornyn than something really important in Virginia, and that's just for the primary against another Republican!

If anyone STILL doesn't get it, the Deep State actors in the Republican Party WANT their boy Cornyn to remain in office so he can take turns with other Rinos to sabotage President Trump or conservative legislation. The Rino Senators/Representatives taking turns doing their dirty work allows them to tell their constituents "Well, I voted with President Trump 90% of the time". Yeah, maybe so. But when it comes time for something like the SAVE America Act everyone can see what's happening.

I can't see how Trump doesn't endorse Paxton soon. I hope someone got this video in front of Trump.

Not unlike refusing to fund outsiders against "independents" in recent elections, like when Murkowski ran as an independent against a republican in Alaska or in Vermont or Maine (somewhere in New England) that McConnell's group didn't put any money into the R candidate.

They hate us.

Looks like Pressler may be the death knell of Cornyn's political career. He captured all of Cornyn's old videos before they deleted them!

No one is voting for degenerate Talarico.

Paxton isn't near perfect, but he is light years better than Cornyn.

IMHO someone that helps turn a first-degree felony of sexually abusing a child into a misdemeanor is not light years better than anyone.

And here is the reasoning behind the decision -


"During a trial last year, the jury was deadlocked at 7 to 5 in favor of a guilty verdict, resulting in a mistrial.

According to the plea deal made after the mistrial, Hoffman will spend 30 days in jail beginning Monday, but he is not required to register as a sex offender.

Waco attorney Robert Callahan said the reduced sentencing may be to resolve the trial without putting further burden on the victims, as well as guaranteeing accountability from the defendant.

... maybe the AG's office decided I don't know if we could win next time, and so speaking to their complainant do you want to go through this all again, or would you rather there be some measure of accountability where he is in fact given a conviction and bears the stigma and bears the responsibility of pleading guilty ..."


Keep trying as you might, but Paxton will be light years better as Senator than Cornyn was.

So he goes to trial again and is found not guilty and gets away scot free. Then what?

Please. We all want child predators to be punished. So does Paxton.

There was a divided jury and a mistrial. It wasn't like it was close either. The decision was made to take what they felt attainable rather than risk putting the family through another trial and risking the perp getting off without any consequences. It stinks, but it happens.

Fort Worth Star-Telegram thinks Talarico has a chance but really might not. That's because more voters identify as Republicans in 2026 than they did in 2018 for Beto vs Cruz.

As a Catholic, I'd say Talarico is going to grab a large swath or Catholic voters in November, especially if Catholics have Paxton as the other choice. But at least out here, Catholics don't vote much. So, the question will be, will Talarico energize the churched to vote for him?

Quote:
Austin Democrat James Talarico has a thin lead in polls over U.S. Sen. John Cornyn for his Senate seat and a wider lead if Attorney General Ken Paxton is the Republican nominee. Democratic candidates Gina Hinojosa and runoff favorite Vikki Goodwin are already closer to Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick than Democrats Lupe Valdez and Michael Collier were back in 2018. That was the year when bottle-rocket Senate candidate Beto O'Rourke's challenge to U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz lifted Democrats within range of a statewide victory for the first time since 1994. Another bad sign for Republicans: Voters are now more intensely worried about money than they were in 2018.

But when you read on, there is one big problem for Texas Democrats: They're Democrats. Even though Texas voters are completely unhappy with their leaders, the state and their family situation, they are also more conservative now than in the 2018 poll.

Back then, those voters polled mostly said they were Republicans, 46%-43%. That 3-point margin was what U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz and Paxton won by that fall in the closest races on the ticket. Now, based on the poll, Texas is 50% Republican and 40% Democrat. The baked-in winning margin for Republicans is now 10%. Not 3%. In the new poll, 43% of Texas voters have a favorable view of the Republican Party. Back in 2018, that number was 35%. Meanwhile, 50% of Texas voters now have an unfavorable view of the Democratic Party.

(discussion of how Texas voters -- and the Catholic voters in particular -- have edged upward since Beto vs Cruz in 2018... Then

...snip...

Talarico's background as a Presbyterian seminary student may at least help him speak to devout voters and rally mainline Christians. But Democrats' brand is damaged nationally and statewide after a struggle between factions and a fumbled 2024 presidential campaign.

In a recent podcast for The Atlantic, O'Rourke was asked whether national Democrats' shift to progressive liberal politics has hurt the party since his more centrist 2018 campaign against Cruz. In the recent primary, Senate candidate Jasmine Crockett took more moderate positions than Talarico on energy, tech industry regulation and national defense. But Talarico drew more national support and won. "I had probably one of the most bipartisan voting records in Congress," O'Rourke told senior editor David Frum, a former speechwriter for President George W. Bush. "But I would go to communities where people would say, 'Man, I love you because you're one of the most progressive guys I've ever seen here.,' And I'd go to other communities, and people would say, 'I love you because you're so conservative.' "

He spelled out how national Democrats have failed party voters in Texas. "It's really the Wild West out here," he said. " There's no Texas Democratic Party relative to, say, the Pennsylvania Democratic Party or the California Democratic Party. This is a party that had been allowed by national Democrats and the [Democratic National Committee], probably going back to the 2008 presidential election and the loss of the 50-states strategy from Howard Dean, to just wither on the vine."

Texas voters are unhappy. The question is whether they're unhappy enough to vote for a Democrat.

The only "Catholic" voters who would vote for that freak are Joe Biden or Stephen Colbert. The rest of us would rather vote for your hero Gonzales

The pasty white preachy progressive is a heretic:

- Claiming the Gospel of Thomas was part of scripture
- Pushing Universalism (other religions "point to the same truth"
- Promoting the "social gospel" (saved by helping widows, orphans, illegal immigrants, and forcing others to pay more taxes to redistribute the wealth)
- Saying abortion is justified because Mary consented to Gabriel
- Advocating sexualizing, sterilizing, and mutilating children because "God is non-binary"
- His church only using gender-neutral pronouns for God (so much for the God the Father, God the Son...)

Do you think Catholics are good with this?

Catholics aren't voting en masse for someone that thinks God is nonbinary, there's eight genders, and abortion is perfectly fine.

Signed,

Yeah, because the everyday Catholic gets a vote in that. Many, if not most, Catholics aren't huge fans of the Popes. It's the Bishops and Pastors that keep them sheltered from that crap.

Cornyn is such a fraud.

He's just ticked off that he finally got a conservative opponent that has some name recognition that can beat him.

His little game of play a conservative during the campaign but govern like a RINO has been exposed, and he has been found wanting. I'm going to enjoy seeing him have to concede after the runoff.
