Chip Roy is trailing by 110k. I thought that primary race would much closer.
It's been called…Middleton curb-stomped ol' Chip…
Paxton
Middleton
French
Smith
Looks to be a sweep for my votes
Starting to wonder if this is foreshadowing of Trump's coattails come November…
Can't take anything for granted, but the Dems are leaderless and have nothing to run on. They always act like they're about to cruise to victory, but what is their platform right now other than hating Trump?

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).
No way you actually believe that, right? Right?! Talarico actually follows the teachings of Jesus. Paxton does not.
I seriously cannot comprehend how so many graduates of our great university have come to hold views that are so distorted from reality. These "Christian" nationalists really are wolves in sheep's clothing…father forgive them for they don't know what they do.
No he doesn't, stop lying.

A vote for Talarico is a vote for Satan. There is no in between, there is no gray area, you can try to spin the narrative all you want. If you truly call yourself a Christian, voting for low t is voting for the devil himself.

Do you want to actually get in a debate about this?
It would be highly entertaining.

An old, but apt fable:

The frog considers this argument sensible and agrees to transport the scorpion. Midway across the river, the scorpion stings the frog anyway, dooming them both. The dying frog asks the scorpion why it stung despite knowing the consequence, to which the scorpion replies: "I am sorry, but I couldn't help myself. It's my character."

Yeah I get it. But it's driving me nuts that he's so full of ***** I can't imagine getting pounded in a primary and spouting off like he is. It's incredibly revealing as to who we've been sending to Washington for years and years... And how the GOP seems to want to be all Cornyns and Thunes...
