I think Paxton will win but I wouldn't get too cocky. The fact that this race is competitive doesn't bode well for the GOP's chances across the country. The GOP will have to spend here instead of in more important races that are historically competitive, like Maine.
I'll never understand why Cornyn is a RINO but I do think he would clean Talarico's clock, especially with independents.
Should be interesting.
No...
This race is a microcosm race if Paxton wins in the primary.
A Republican with a lot of baggage vs a milquetoast Dem candidate that suburban white women might be willing to vote for.
It is NOT anything more than that.
I WILL agree that the Republicans will have to spend more if Paxton is the candidate than if Cornyn was the candidate, though.
Again: the fact that this is competitive does not bode well for the GOP bc they will have to spend more on this race.
I don't like Paxton at all. And I will sit out the general election rather than voting between the two.
Nevertheless, the GOP will need RINOs in Maine & Alaska to hold onto their majority. Spending more in deep red Texas makes that less likely. Seems like a silly risk to take.
This lowers the vote total that Talarico needs to win.
If your goal is to have a Democrat Senator for 6 years, you're doing the right thing to advance that.
Then the GOP shouldn't nominate someone with so much baggage. My vote is earned; I owe the GOP nothing.
That's fine. But, if Talarico wins, don't complain since you helped him do it...
No. Actually it's not my fault. I didn't nominate him. The GOP did. Blaming voters for bad candidates is a recipe for disaster.
You helped lower the barrier he had to cross to win by not voting. Paxton sucks as a human. But, he's better than Talarico (both as a human AND how he'd be as Senator).
You can turn off signatures, btw

I think Talarico gets slaughtered.
He's currently the betting favorite against Paxton
Something about fools and their money are soon parted.
Yeah, Talarico is going to get hammered like he usually wants to on a Saturday night at "The Man Hole".
Trump voters chose an adulterer and a corrupt fraudster who used his position of power to stay out of prison…color me shocked. But the Republicans are *totally* the party of Christian values, right?
I hope my fellow Christians will join me in voting for the only true Christian in this race, James Talarico.

How many?
Likely negligible number.
What Democrats didn't vote in march, but now decide to swing an election?
You can fit them all in one bus.
It won't matter because the gap is going to be pretty wide, but that's not the point. The point is that there is enough of a belief within the Democratic Party in Texas that Paxton is beatable that they have an unprecedented amount of enthusiasm for a given republican winning the primary.
Additionally the down ballot effects of Paxton are projected to be pretty detrimental for republicans. It's projected a relevant number of Cornyn voters won't show up for Paxton (whereas every Paxton voter would have shown up for Cornyn in the general) and it could have a big impact even if Paxton wins.

How many? Give a number and some proof.
And Democrats being incredibly wrong won't exactly be "news". It's expected!

Pure comedy!
You can swap Beto for Talarico and we've all see this story before.

Talarico is a heretic lol. Paxton isn't a good man, but he's not a heretic.
I bet you think Mormons are Christians too.

You can't vote in both
Right, that was my exact point. These super Democrats care more to either not vote in the primary at all or to vote in the Republican primary and runoff?
No way you actually believe that, right? Right?! Talarico actually follows the teachings of Jesus. Paxton does not.Ag with kids said:Aggie-Clausewitz said:Ag with kids said:Aggie-Clausewitz said:Ag with kids said:Aggie-Clausewitz said:Ag with kids said:Aggie-Clausewitz said:

He's a worse candidate than Beto
Texas is in many ways more purple than it was then
But also, Beto was an unserious person even at the most superficial level. Talarico's demeanor and appearance gives off a superficial veneer of professionalism if you don't pay attention to what he's actually saying. And that unfortunately means a lot with the modern electorate.

Lots of democrats voting for Paxton.
Why this doesn't bother more republicans in this state, or at least mildly concern them, is bewildering to me.
(FYI, You have to vote in the first one to be able to vote for the second.)
They did
They REALLY want Paxton to be who they have to run against
source: "trust me, bro".
He's on track to win by over >350k votes. "tens of thousands" of loser democrats are a fart in the wind.
Cornyn lost because he has been worthless for 24 years, and showed his ass by trying to slow-roll the SAVE ACT, among other things. And his brisket sucks.
i'm sorry i dont laugh at the right times.

By the time the Election happens, people from his " church" will have already come forward about him being a pedo. Zero chance that guy is not a kid diddler.

LOL. No you don't.
Untrue, because some in my immediate family were away and didn't vote in the primary but went with me and voted in the runoff.

I looked it up if you voted Republican you have to vote Republican in the runoff. If you didn't vote at all you can still vote.
Talarico invoked his faith in support of abortion. That man DOES NOT follow the bible.

Paxton is a complete scumbag, but bringing up Talarico as a follower of Christ is a joke. He is a blaspheming charlatan.
Good riddance to John Cornyn…

Talerico isn't a Christian. Christians don't preach about Mary being pro-choice and choosing to have Jesus. Christians don't believe that God authorizes sex change operations for children. Christians don't believe in gay marriage. Christians don't believe that God is non binary.
Okay, let's not act as if criticism of Paxton is because Republicans are held to some super high moral standards.

I have no dog in this aspect of the debate, but objectively Talarico is not a Christian in any traditional/orthodox sense. Almost everything he says relevant to religion/christianity/morality would have been viewed as heretical by virtually every Christian who had ever lived until about 60 years ago.

Paxton will curb-stomp Talarico…

This is a really weak troll. Literally no one that is a Christian believes talarico is a Christian. I'll let you connect the dots on what it means for your life if you believe low-t is a Christian.

Didn't realize Christians consistently slander The Bible and believe that there are 6 genders. Isn't promoting child sex change a textbook example of slapping God in the face?
Don't forget, abortion is Biblical now too!
So it looks like we are getting Paxton, Bo French and 'MAGA Mayes" Middleton out of this.
