Gosh, I wonder if any folks on F16 voted for Cornyn and then answered "yes" to the question about term limits? Same old merry go round. Term limits for thee, but not for me.

---

So which challenger to Abbot and Dan Patrick did you vote for? Are you going to vote D if they win the primary.

---

I abstained on everything but national senate, local county judge, all state Supreme Court justices (even if those justices had no opponent), and answered all ten questions.

not for US Senator; they fit on one screen, but for governor, for me, had to scroll down just to find Greg Abbott's name.

---

Interesting - in Brazos County Abbott was on the first page when I voted. Here's the sample ballot:

Do you have the personal life records on all the other candidates?

If you're going to base your decision on this, fine. But don't nix Paxton on it while ignoring others. Politicians aren't known for their overall goodness.

I voted for Wesley Hunt, but I think there will be a primary runoff between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. If that happens, I am voting for John Cornyn because I think Cornyn has a better chance than Ken Paxton of beating James Talarico in the general election. A general election matchup between Paxton and Talarico would likely be a tossup. If Jasmine Crockett wins the Democratic nomination, she has a slim chance of winning the general election.

A Democrat hasn't won any Texas statewide election since 1994, a Texas gubernatorial election since 1990, a Texas US Senate election since 1988, and Texas electoral votes in a Presidential election since 1976. I hope these trends continue in the gubernatorial and US Senate elections on 11/3 to keep Texas red.

Hold my nose and vote for Cornyn. It is more of a vote against Paxton.

---

I'm in that same boat. But in reality, most of us vote against a candidate more often than we vote for a candidate.

Voted for Crockett (not Davy) as Talarico is a threat to any of these R nominees in the general election... Go Jazzy!! Lots of press time - you'll be showing us your a$%... uuuugh, maybe i better rethink that, just got the visual.

Don't run for office. Some "conservative" PAC will tell voters you're a commie lib for that.

You'd take more crooked guy in Paxton?

Great job Cornyn fans. Your politicking for Hunt really fooled enough people to force a runoff.

Wesley Hunt did his job for the Establishment giving Cornyn life in a run off.

Incumbents do well in run offs with less voters.

You do know who is President currently, right?

Call me crazy, but a politician banging some side chick doesn't really move the needle for me because it's unfortunately a common thing in society. I bet some people you and your SO are friends with have skeletons you don't know about.

Either way, I think he's done a good job as AG and has fought the dems as much as he could from that position.

Hunt doesn't move the needle for me, and Cornyn is probably shacking up with Susan Collins as much as he effs over his party.

---

He wasn't just banging a side chick. He was also meddling in an investigation into that chick's employer while also getting free work done on his Austin abode by that employer.

And he should have been removed from office except there were enough Senator's who did not have the balls to do that.

He did some good by fighting issues in court, but he also filed many frivolous lawsuits. Example one was contesting the way Pennsylvania ran their elections. Everyone on TexAgs would be screaming if the AG from California filed suit contesting how we, in Texas, ran our elections. Probably the most frivolous lawsuit I have ever heard of.

And he decimated the AGs office. So many good and experienced people left that office because of the uneithical way KP was running it. And let's not forget the $6M judgement several former employees have against KP personally, for which KP tried to get the Legislature to pay with OUR tax money.

KP is an embarrassment to the legal profession. And that is hard to win that designation with what goes in that profession. And I'm a lawyer.

I did NOT want Paxton because of his baggage...And I agree with your whole post...

But, a few questions for you....

IF he gets the nomination, will you vote for him? If not, will you abstain from voting? If not, will you vote for the Democrat?

Is Paxton still claiming multiple properties as his primary residence and getting homestead exceptions? People keep acting like his multiple affairs are the only things against him. To me the bigger deal is his behavior on his taxes and securities fraud. We don't need more career politicians who think they are better than regular people and above the law. It seems to me that many of the posters that are saying he is the best candidate also normally are the ones complaining about swampy politicians.

---

A bunch of super fake issues brought out by dem friendly media and the crew that lied repeatedly during the impeachment trial. Only a dem would keep bringing these things up like they mean something.

Hunt

I believe we should have term limits and if we can't get that amendment, I will do it myself. That eliminates Cornyn.

Dems licking their lips to run against Paxton and I don't like the guy to start with. Wouldn't trust him any further than I could throw him.

So I have Hunt. Hunt is the nightmare opponent for the Dems.

---

Paxton is a far better candidate than Cornyn against fake Talerico. More energy. More substantial record of fighting for the right things. More name recognition than even Cornyn.

---

Talerico isn't likely to motivate the Dem base to beat either of them. Even Cornyn will have the money and backing to make Talerico look like an amateur.

I'm with you there...

I'm disappointed by Hunt's performance. Disappointed by the choice in the runoff.

But there's approximately 0.0 chance of me voting for a D in the general.

Paxton has TONS of baggage that will make any Dem campaign have an easy time making negative commercials...

The multiple fraud and corruption investigations and trials. The impeachment. The affair....



Cornyn isn't great...but, other than his brisket picture, he doesn't have negatives like Paxton does...

Paxton v Talarico (if that is where we end up) is going to bring in a ton of D $. It might be worth it just to watch that money vaporize. I don't think they'll spend as much going after Cornyn.

---

Why is Cornyn going to have an easier time in the general election?

---

Statistically, incumbents always have an advantage.

---

Incumbents have the advantage and Democrats will get to have a choir boy over serial philanderer election.

It's the Doug Jones vs Roy Moore situation.

Paxton didn't hit on a minor.
