The two of them (Rs of course) are slinging so much mud at each other,
I'm not sure which one is MAGA and which one is a RINO.

Any insight?

Following...

I thought I was voting for Roy in the runoff but now I'm on the fence with all the stuff coming out. Curious to see the general consensus here.

Is there anything to worry about in November in either case? Of course I'll vote for either at that point.

Edit: I've seen the light, Roy it is.

A good time to remember that the bad stuff you read about a candidate from their opponent, is skewed. If would be like not buying a Ford solely because of what a Chevy salesperson tells you about Ford. We don't make decisions like that in any other area of our life so why would we rely on the BS of candidates?

Middleton is a trust fund baby who may be worse than Paxton. Plus his ads leave you feeling that they're pointed to people with a room temperature IQ. I'll take the devil that you know in Chip Roy.

---

Worse as in he will be more likely to bring action against H1s, fraud and illegals?

Paxton has done a great job as AG.

He should have stayed there.

This thread isn't about Paxton/Cornyn.

I would have preferred he stay as AG, and someone more conservative, but without baggage, knock out Cornyn in the primary.

Lt Dan endorsed Middleton.

Danny Goeb just made up my mind. Chip it is.

---

Lt Dan and Abbott both plus he's getting help from the Rove faction and Bushies

Fair enough. Im just going to enjoy him as a Senator. We will win AG and Paxton has set a standard as to what we expect at minimum. Fingers crossed we are ensuring words meet actions and RINOs arent tolerated

My A&M degree is in Construction Science but I never worked in the construction industry. Going to hire me to build your building?

Middleton has a law degree but never been in a courtroom as an attorney. Want to hire him as the top attorney for the state of Texas?

Middleton, under the guise of religious freedom, introduced a bill that could be used by Islamists to support Sharia law. If he were a real lawyer, he'd know what he was doing.

Chip Roy has been my congressman for 8 years. He's got a constant conservative track record the entire time. Middleton has used $17 million of his Daddy's money to tell lies and half truths in his political ads.

Im undecided.

Youre leaving a big element out of your pro Chip post... he has a JD from Texas and worked as a prosecutor

I hate that many times, that it's not the:

Lesser of two evils...

It ends up being the:

Evil of two lessers...

Why do I feel dirty when I watch 'Maga Mayes' ads? I think he's a wolf in sheep's clothing.

With Chip Roy, you know what you're getting.

---

It's because of the big bad wolf who fraudulently championed the movement but turned his back on you upon returning to the WH

Anyone who runs based on the name "MAGA Mayes Middleton" should be disqualified immediately.

---

Why? Conservatives want to know if you're going to play ball or be a Massie.

Here's the only question to ask - Who is the most conservative candidate you think has the best chance to win in the general election. Full stop. Nothing else matters but stopping the left.

So what is wrong with being from a successful family? Both of Middletons parents are from Chambers county ranching families and very well respected by their neighbors and communities today and going back to the early/mid 1800s. They didn't become rich and successful by being lazy or stupid. Their heirs today continue to ranch/ farm the same properties and just happened to have oil discovered there in the 1930s. Read up on Archie Middleton chambers co. Mayes still runs that huge ranch and its daily activities. His uncles run the Edward's ranch on his Moms side. Both families still maintain their 1800s built ranch houses down there.

Chip Roy is from Maryland and Virginia and came to Texas for UT law school around 2000 where he met and worked for John Coryns Campaign for US senate. He also worked with Ted Cruz in the early 2000s.

Mayes has reportedly done a good job representing his district in the Tx house and Tx senate and I don't have a problem with him being from a successful family. Happy for him.

I don't care that Middleton is a trust fund baby.

I care that he's been doing all he can to help with the proliferation of mosques and h1B BS in Texas.

I stop at "who is the most conservative candidate" when I vote.

Sounds like Roy in this case.

So he inherited it all and has managed not to squander it. Good for him.

I'll take endorsements from actual conservatives like Ted Cruz endorsing Roy than the populist endorsements of Abbott, Paxton the Philanderer, and Lt. Dan for Middleton.
