      Yikes. The thought of this dude being a possible senator is truly disturbing.

      Ah, so that means James Talarico has an even better likelihood to become Senator of Texas than before now. Good.

      Edit: Paxton is pretty much incapable of winning against Talarico as it stands. Make sure to vote, and the radical right shall *lose*.

      It’s been 10 years, how the fuck do they not get it?

      No matter what you do for Trump, no matter what you sacrifice, no matter how far his wang is in your mouth, he won’t give you what you want. Nothing else matters besides himself.

      Good riddance, Cornyn.

      This isn’t shocking in all honestly. Trump for almost a decade has a stranglehold over the party he governs. My only interest is how many of these voters that voted Cornyn vote for Paxton during November or Stay home. I mean you and me both been hearing hows there’s gonna be a mini party civil war, over trumps approval ratings, and etc. but this race and in Louisiana has just shown us. Trump has absolute authority.

      I left this clown show party in 2021 (than again I was a young voter) what’s left is clearing delusional people (that have serious issues and grievances that elites use to anger them more) that you find in soccer fandoms lol.

      The final question is can a democratic candidate win? (Depends on Republican turnout at this point.

      John Cornyn was going around licking trumps balls and what does he get for it? A big fat “L”.

      trump pulled this shit in Alabama during his first term and they ended up with a Democrat senator in that state. the dude is addicted to own goals.

      There were counties Cornyn won by >10 that he lost by >20. How can any republican see that and believe that they actually stand for anything other than what trump says?

      I am baffled who people in any party would vote for a person like this, unless they are effectively a cartel.

      I can’t think of other explanations.

      So now Massie and Cornyn can vote no on everything the Maga try to through. Good luck getting two supreme Court nominees in before the midterms.

      Paxton? The one that turned a pedo life sentence into a day or month served? Damn. Texas is full of pedo supporters I guess.

      Lmao, the country is so toast. Congress is gone and now filled with SS-like loyalists, just like Hitler’s army. The MAGA Army is being born folks.

      Paxton is an impeached and corrupt individual. He needs to be in prison.

    18. MoonPieKitty on

      Trump has these people brainwashed. It’s ridiculous. I mean, Cornyn has always supported Trump. Not sure why Trump turned against him. They’re both republicans, but Paxton will be worse.

      When all of this started, I thought a win for Paxton would mean a difficult general while Sen Cornyn would have basically walked to a win. However, since Talarico only has a small lead – after all of the negative ads on the Republican side – I think Talarico might have the rougher road to victory once people move on from the primary.

    20. WidgetWarrior on

      I really hope this means Talarico has a better shot, but I know Texas will Texas….

    22. Bubbles00 on

      I’m not a fan of coryn but any means but how fucked is Texas politics when a guy that’s been dodging indictments for over two years wins the Republican primary?

    23. 44nutman on

      Didn’t Paxton make sure his buddy served less than 60 days in jail after Paxton’s friend got caught having sex with children. Paxton is a POS.

    24. holyd1ver83 on

      This is the high risk-high reward option. Paxton will probably get less of the vote share than Cornyn because he’s just that fucking atrocious a person, but if he wins…god have mercy on Texans everywhere.

      Go freak-o for Talarico.
