Voted this morning. There were no political signs posted anywhere. There was no one else voting when I voted. As usual, this runoff is going to come down to turnout.
Now if there was a way to block political ads once you've voted. You'd have 90%+ voter turnout if that were possible.

LOL. Certainly would help.

My total wild ass guess tells me that the conservatives that don't really care about politics would vote for Cornyn because they are uneducated on the issues. Will they turn out?

The hard core political folks that keep up with everything will turn out because, well, they are hard core and that's the voter that will support Paxton.

Again, just my wild ass guess.

We will know much much more tomorrow, I think.

If Massie loses to Gallrein in KY then that's showing a pattern to the tune of LA Senator Bill Cassidy, hinting strongly that Republican voters will be active and favoring the new guys/replacements

but there are numerous races across the county where republicans are not favoring republicans.

Trump endorsed the opponents of Cassidy & Massie. He was vocal against both. So really no comparison with those races.


Though I do think Paxton wins.

I do think it is a valid comparison though. While no endorsement has been made, actions for and against Trump can be seen easily. I think it's a heavy Paxton and Middleton lean

Your point is EXACTLY what makes Cornyn a lib. He will vote in line, but try like hell to kill conservative measures BEFORE they come to a vote. He can and has inflicted tons of damage to our party. And, with a slim majority, he can kill alot.

He votes when he has to. His true nature is what he does BEHIND the scenes. He's not just a lib, he's LYING about what he supports.

Take the save act most recently. He was only going to vote "yes" if Trump endorsed him. LOL, let's makie a deal. Not because he believes in it, but he wants his power.

But even then, he wasn't going to vote to kill the filibuster, or even make it a talking one. So, he knew it would be defeated so he could vote "yes" to make voters like you believe he's voting for the right. He's not conservative. He's not interested in the save act actually passing. Nope. He wants it dead. He worked with Thune to ensure it's dead.

**** that guy. Lying lib. Get that ****wad out of office.

Points well made, thank you.
We really need to rewrite our laws concerning libel and slander.

Muslim university in Dallas working to be in 'full compliance' with state board
Seems this is a Muslim scam.

More information
Texas Must Permanently Ban TexAMGovernor Abbott Must Block the Muslim Brotherhood's Latest Texas Infiltration (Video)
  • America's first university to blend STEM degrees with mandatory Islamic studies.
  • Even if TexAM obtains a Certificate of Authority from the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board, the "university" should never be allowed to operate. Its deep ties to the Muslim Brotherhood network make it a direct threat to Texas and America.
  • Directly below the university in the same Richardson building is the Dallas Diyanet Mosque. Diyanet, Turkey's massive Presidency of Religious Affairs, is Erdogan's personal global Islamic army. It controls sermons, imams, fatwas, and hundreds of mosques worldwide.
  • He trains operatives in Turkey alongside banned Muslim Brotherhood leaders, praises Abdullah Azzam (ideological father of al-Qaeda and mentor to Osama bin Laden), and proudly admits membership in the Hamas-tied International Union of Muslim Scholars (IUMS). He gives sermons, labeling critics "worse than the Nazis," calls for Muslims to infiltrate the FBI and CIA, and pushes Sharia compliance nationwide in his role as Chairman of the Fiqh Council of North America.
We really need to rewrite our laws concerning libel and slander.

Think so. Trump realized it can be done after Cassidy got ousted as well as the Indiana results.

Have to disagree with that!

Don't think one has anything to do with the other. Trump has always known Cassidy was on the ropes. He hates him.

Trump doesn't hate Cornyn. Very different dynamic.

He doesn't hold as much disdain towards Cornyn, but Cornyn hasn't exactly been a fervent defender of Trump and his policies as Paxton has. Don't think Thune has helped Cornyn at all by not getting the SAVE Act through.

I just hope it's not some stupid back room deal facilitated by the swamp.

It would only be worth it for the Save Act imo. And Thune has already played that trick a few times so I would hope he doesn't play the Lucy role again.

The SAVE America Act not getting passed is why Trump didn't already endorse Cornyn. There's really nothing to suggest any level of disdain for him.

Paxton
- stands up to establishment
- sued Biden often
- went thru impeachment hearings and won because he stood up to the tyrants

Cornyn
- works behind the scenes to kill conservative initiatives
- supported Liz Chaney
- publicly stated Trump's time had passed and we need someone else

Hmmmmmmmm

And if that isn't enough, Cornyn has thrown in the towel

Cornyn is on the record saying Trump shouldn't run in 2024 and couldn't win. His COVID and red flag laws hasn't helped either.

Yes, and Trump still likes him. Hell, look at what JD Vance said!

Say what? Probably little difference between Trump and Cornyn here.



This endorsement comes down to one thing and one thing only it looks like The SAVE America Act. The failure to get that passed (regardless of Cornyn's fault) is why Trump didn't endorse him

Is he waiting on early indicators from day of voting?

Endorsing halfway through Election Day seems a bit… late to influence the outcome.

Feels more like they are confident in a "winner" and are just making sure no surprises.

Who knows. Popcorn indeed.

I think it's Paxton, both endorsement and winner. God help us but at least it's not Cornyn.

He may have waited for one last shot at The Save Act before letting Cornyn go scorched earth. I mean a 1% chance is better than 0%.

Plus, his endorsement will help turnout. I voted yesterday and was the only one in the room voting.

Finally, all I heard on the media driving into work was "Trump said he would endorse and now he's not. REEEEEEEEEEEE'. That could be the reason also.

To finish off Cornyn, Paxton should smoke a brisket the right way, don't slather it in ketchup and then tweet out the picture. Boom.

I've said it before but although Paxton is a little (a lot?) on the sleezy side, he's the junkyard dog in the US Senate we need right now to save this country.
I don't think you know me.

I needed this because my 81 yr old mother believed the bs attack ads against Paxton and was going to vote Cornyn. She loves Trump and also thought he endorsed Cornyn due to the lying ads. Well now, she is voting for Paxton. So Paxton will have 2 votes from our family instead of mine cancelling out my mother's vote.

Good Trump. Gotta admit I was concerned this was a Swamp Deal but alas, good Trump.

Screenshot from this morning, when I first read that the endorsement was coming in about an hour.


And now, post endorsement

early voted today at 10am for Paxton

I was the only person in line -- wasn't expecting that

the ballot is very short -- perhaps why

or turnout is going to be lower
