I voted for Roy because I found Middleton's ads, and to be honest, Middleton himself, creepy. I hope he is able to do half the job that Paxton did without all the attendant baggage.

Welp, not looking good for Chip. Guess we get silver spoon as AG.
We get a MAGA empty suit who looks like Talarico's twin. His only "qualification" was how much he kissed Trump's ass.
This is why I wished Paxton had stayed at AG, and a strong conservative without baggage had ousted Cornyn.
Actually, his district was very happy with his representation of them as a state house member and senator.
Did a great job and he Absolutely doesn't need one. Will be governor or in Congress one day.
What he did for his district wasn't even part of his campaign. He only campaign was "vote for me, I'm MAGA."
Sorry, but that is not a campaign. It is an emotional appeal to people that is no different than what the Democrats use to sway people to vote for them.
If he proves me wrong as AG, I'll be pleasantly surprised, because right now I have no reason to think he'll do anything except start his campaign for higher office.
Unfortunately or not that's what's needed to win elections these days. Stupid slogans and quick pithy statements are what win. How about Hope and Change? Make America Great Again?
You can't get into the weeds because 99% of people don't care unfortunately. They will remember Maga Mayes Middleton though.
I'm not saying it's a good thing; I'm just saying this is how elections are won currently.
Texas AG is a high-profile and demanding position, the honeymoon for MAGA Mayes won't last long if he's not qualified for the job.
I'm thinking Middleton will probably be fine

He'll spend some time doing the things an AG is supposed to do, and a lot of time filing performative lawsuits that end up getting dismissed in nine months to a year. File the lawsuit to get the headline, and it gets quietly dismissed later. The playbook worked for Paxton, why wouldn't it work again?

Roy and Cornyn are both retired in the same night. This puts an end to their partnership from 2022 when Roy worked for Cornyn's first senate campaign. Both of these guys dispised A&M. I worked with them both and their disrespect was unbelievable considering the job Cornyn was running for and the power of Aggies everywhere.
Curious on how/why they despised A&M
Roy was a very very huge tu sports fan. And a grad. Arrogant personally.
Cornyn thought aggies were corny and that A&M was weird. I worked on his campaign, and he smirked at me when I was walking him through how to speak to the aggies at a campaign event. Nothing deep or sinister. Just total lack of knowledge about what being an Aggie is all about. He also hated Perry.

B.S. Paxtons lawsuits were nation-changing. He won and won a lot. He took things to SCOTUS and won most of his cases.
Roy also backed DeSantis
so maybe Trump getting even on that score.

Congrats to Middleton for running a great campaign with a catchy slogan. I expect him to run for much higher office in the years ahead.
A campaign that literally was nothing but "Vote for me, I'm MAGA" and "Vote for me, I love Trump."
He appealed to the lowest of the low information voters and unfortunately they swallowed it hook, line, and sinker.
Edit: Grammar
What was Cornyn's message? "I have been there for 24 years...i know how to use the Senate leadership and its funds to stymie Trump at every turn....vote for me."
Two positives from the Chip vs Middleton primary race:
-- one of them had to lose.
-- Chip won't be in Congress after 2026 ends.
-- one of them had to lose.
-- Chip won't be in Congress after 2026 ends.

So is Middleton, what does that matter?
It is good information to have. And as an Aggie, it matters to me if a candidate hates A&M.Ag CPA said:WestAustinAg said:BaileyAg said:WestAustinAg said:

From what you wrote above he doesn't sound different than any other 'sip, including Abbott and Cruz.
Just remember, "From the outside you can't understand it, and from the inside you can't explain it".

You can't side with Liz Cheney or *****foot around a Trump impeachment and expect Republican primary voters to brush that aside.
You don't understand. TDS politicians wanted him gone. They waited to jump in when they thought he was gone. Then guys like him, and Cornyn, jumped on the bandwagon and tried to make themselves look tough.
But, the actual evidence came out to the public, and folks realized what phonies these jackasses really are.
Now, we won't vote for them.
Good ****ing riddance.

It's probably the same type of smirk he gave a Texan when they were trying to explain brisket to him.
All these f'n t-sips, and a Baylol grad. Clown show.

Agree. I also voted for Roy. Mayes is creepy. No doubt about it.
