i've voted for cornyn every time he's been on the ballot, but i'll be supporting paxton in the primary. he's the best chance talarico has at winning.


Why did you vote for Cornyn over Hager? Would you vote for Cornyn over Talarico? Crockett?


Old liberal doesnt need to be listened to. Resident marxist opinions need not be considered while voting

Voting for Cornyn. Can't take a chance with an own goal here in Texas.


And that's why things never change with the republicans. Texans do this to ourselves every primary. We vote for the useless moderate incumbent because the fear of possibly losing to the dems in the general. Then we complain when they inevitably stab us in the back.


Now go research Sharon angle, Herschel Walker, Todd akin, Kari lake, etc


And? That doesn't change what I said. People like you are why we continually get stuck with useless RINO's. Republican voters in Texas get gaslit every two years into voting for RINO's in the primaries. It's always the same crap. "But if we don't vote for the moderate, the dems may have a chance in the general". "I'd rather get 60% of what I want than nothing". "Texas could go blue". Nevermind the fact that the moderates dishonestly run on full blown conservative policy to win. A flawed, but actual conservative candidate can win the general in Texas. We are still a red state.


And people like you are why we don't have 60 votes in the senate


What does people voting for more conservative candidates in the primary have to do with the republicans not having a super majority? Texas is a red state that should have actual conservatives representing it. Not RINO's/moderates that run on conservative policy and then govern differently.

Not at all. They may have been "weird" but they were still better than the Democrats they lost too because so-called "Conservatives" have an inability to pull their heads out of their asses.

He's a fighter and I doubt he's down to compromise with the dems. If he wins and then sucks, primary him the next time he's up for reelection. Just get rid of the pantywaist, republican moderates that have been sabotaging anything conservative from getting done for years. That includes the ones in our state government. The primary is conservatives best chance to make any real change.

Just going to point out that Cornyn's ability to be corrupt is severely limited by the absence of brain cells.

Dude is world class dumb and disengaged.

But the other guys are worse. Very poor R field. Thankfully, the D field remains worse.

Step outside your bubble. Many people, probably even most, don't care about politics. They'll vote but they don't follow it at all and they see no difference in the parties. They can be swayed but certain policies and individual politicians in any given year.

Just because he's a fighter doesn't mean he's worth piss in a bucket. He's picked plenty of stupid fights to "own the libs" only to have it blow up in his face. He's the Jasmine Crockett in this race on the Republican side: a bomb thrower that's short on ideas on how to actually fix anything.

So it's the bomb throwing you don't like? Because Cornyn has proven he is short on ideas on how to actually fix anything. In fact, he's passed a ton of legislation that has made our lives worse.

And that I think he's the most corrupt person of anyone in either party running in this race. He's running for the self-indulgence, nothing else. At least the others have some semblance of wanting to do something.

I remember Cornyn supporting that terrible "bipartisan border bill" until his office got bombarded by angry voters. He is a useless moderate that you can't trust if you are a conservative.

Can Paxton, with his baggage, beat the dem? That is the question I have to answer for myself. Dems will roll out every piece of dirt about Paxton and probably have a few things in their pocket waiting on him. Not a Cornyn fan but he does wield some influence/power in DC and Paxton would be very junior in DC…

Tough decision.

In all fairness though you do have to consider who is the most winnable. It's not just who is the most conservative. It's who can win the general election.
That said I'm voting for Paxton but hope it's not a mistake.

Anyone beats Crockett easily. Paxton/Talarico is a lot closer than people want to admit. Talarico is counting on republicans not showing up at the polls because they can't touch the screen for Paxton. Cornyn beats both easily.

So in other words, we are stuck with RINO's perpetually? The media will always try to make any conservative look bad so that the weaklings get all squishy and vote for the "safe" moderate again in the primary.

I understand why any Texas Republican would vote against Cornyn. But why Paxton instead of Hunt?

Judging from a distance, it looks like Paxton has been a really solid conservative on the issues and done well as AG. But the slime just seems to kind of ooze off of him.

D's go further left with their primary candidate.
R's make excuses why they can't go conservative and instead choose a center/right primary candidate.
Media and leftists paint the center/right R primary nominee as far right and R's don't defend conservativism.
Overton window shifts to the left and R's repeat the same mistakes as the past.

"If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves." - Sir Winston Churchill

You can get good conservatives. Look at Ted Cruz, but they can't have a lot of baggage. Just how it works.
