He also won every county in the state but one.
I for one did not think Cornyn was a bad man or a terrible senator like Romney or McCain. However, he was definitely an establishment squish who could not be counted on to do the right thing when it counted most. He tried to ride the fence in the battle for the soul of the GOP and it cost him. He didn't have to be a fire breather to win, but he had to represent his constituency rather than the Beltway, and he didn't. When the country is in an existential battle for its existence, Texas is not looking for a "statesman."

As a thank you gift someone should sign him up for the brisket bootcamp.

why can't we get a fantastic candidate in their late 40s -
who is a MAGA patriotic conservative who supports the military, Israel, hamburgers, Apple Pie and hot women?!!
there are literally THIRTY THREE MILLION TEXANS!!!
and we are left with a guy who looks 80 and a guy facing serious ethics charges who often times looks like a slob.
The incompetence of the state GOP to recruit great candidates is stupefying and criminal.
@#$@#$ Los Angeles has a better Republican candidate than Texas!!
Why? You just said it. Dems use lawfare against talented folks. See my bolded text.
The media is powerful. Their lawyers are powerful. Trump had to pay millions of his own money to defend himself. Most can't.
Know why the killed his $1.8 billion defense fund against lawfare? It's one of their main tools to keep themselves in power.
It appears MAGA is incredibly strong in the GOP. Stronger than ever. From state legislatures to senatorial primaries, MAGA candidates have done extremely well and long time incumbents have been voted out. That RARELY happens. So it's a big deal.
The question now is how big is MAGA among the moderates for November.

That can't be so! I read here from certain group of posters that MAGA was dead because Trump was Israel's lap boy and he killed all of his support.

If Cornyn was a RINO, then I don't really know what a Republican is supposed to be. If he was too far left, then I think this is maybe where I get off the train.
It wasn't even that he was a RINO. He literally did nothing. He was a piece of meat in a suit. He offered nothing. What possibly was it about him that you cling to?

Who would have thought MAGA Mays Middleton would ever have a shot against establishment Rob Roy? Without MAGA, Roy wins in a landslide. Roy even tried lying on his commercials like everyone else as being pro Trump. Even he knows the power of MAGA. While Cornyn has been hated by the party for a long time, Roy hasn't been.
Damn!
Well trust us bitch @lisamurkowski you do what you gotta do to try to save your own ass in 2028! But we've put your treasonist ass on our MAGA radar to take out! You think you can ignore 85% of the MAGA patriots Base w/the Save Act? Well you do so at your own political demise! pic.twitter.com/OlIoXdKLQX

You can trash Cornyn, but he wasnt a crook up there enriching himself. Paxton will absolutely do that..
I'm quite unhappy with the amnesty and ref flag version of our party. I'm also upset that trillions in fraud have been flying out of the treasury and republicans haven't done much about that. Makes you angry when you have to write a check on Apr 15. The influx of migrants (even before Biden) and their reliance on our welfare state has been going on for decades.
I hope South Dakota takes note and dumps Rounds next week in their primary.

The SAVE Act is common sense and only a traitor would oppose it.
Cornyn not pretending to try was his undoing. Susan Collins has no problem fighting for her idiotic beliefs. John Cornyn was stealing from us.
Telling constituents you represent them and then not representing them is bad.

The Rinos already outspent Paxton 9-1 to avert a Paxton nomination. Look how that turned out, 64% - 36% Paxton!
Yeah, I love it that what was supposed to be a close race ended up a massive blowout. It sent a shot across the bow of the Republican Party, not just in Texas, but nationwide. Rational Americans are not only sick and tired of the left wing crazies constant blathering and subversiveness, they are sick and tired of the Republicans they elect going to DC and acting like pompous a**es that know more than we do and gaslighting their constituencies.
If you run as a conservative Republican, you better go to DC and act like one.
I voted for Hunt in the primary and Cornyn in the runoff, and I will vote for Paxton in the general election. Abstaining from the general election or voting for a third party means fewer votes that Talarico needs to win the general election.

They also loved his fundraising for the senatorial fund. That was his main task. It drives me nuts to hear the word amnesty out of any Texas Republican considering we are a border state and have seen the damage. Even Ben Domenech said Cornyn did what they all don- get soft on their values and protect the establishment. And Ben isn't a Paxton fan because of the money it's going to subvert from other races but, no mention of Cornyn burn through $100M+ to save himself. Why not, he probably raised most of it.

Helped kill the SAVE Act, for amnesty for illegals, sponsored Gun Control legislation.
You don't appear to be very perceptive on what constitutes leftist.

Regardless of whether you like Cornyn or not, we need less career politicians. After Paxton serves 2 terms we should replace him. We should replace Cruz.
Cruz sucking Israel's **** will get him replaced. Plus hes old now and seems to of lost his fastball. It's funny to me he originally ran on term limits.
Paxton actually won more of the Hispanic vote in the runoff. Amnesty is universally unpopular among texas republicans.
Cornyn’s closing message was vote for me and I’ll get an amnesty done.

That was even less popular among Latinos than it was among whites in Texas. https://t.co/C1JIGuj9BE

24 years is long enough, don't think he was all that bad.
When 'conservative' is just defined as whatever DJT says on a given day, hard to not be called a RINO.
A politician can only be judged Conservative based on the least conservative vote he/she ever casts on an issue, when he/she is not up for reelection. Politicians are manipulators.

They all do, and then they become "too important" and can't quit, i.e. the $ is too good to leave.

What are you going to say when Paxton wins by 15 - 20 pts in November?
If this happens, I will say it was the most dominate political victory in Texas, perhaps the country this century and probably in my lifetime.
But I don't think that will happen. Paxton wins by 6-9 points is my guess, which is comfortable enough for me!
I'd like to see Paxton win by 6-9 points, but realistically I think it'll be more in the 3-5% range.

Glad you're evolving to the point of seeing the forest for the trees.
Maybe one day, in the not too distant future, we will have Republican representatives who actually legislate in the manner they stumped on. That sounds like *gasp* President Trump.
"He's an incredibly sophisticated and talented political operator," said Enrique Marquez, a Republican consultant who previously served as chief of staff to one of Paxton's erstwhile rivals, former Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan. "He just happened to be running against the one person more loyal to Donald Trump than he is. And ultimately, loyalty is the attribute that Trump values the most."
"John Cornyn was part of a wave that helped usher in the Republican revolution in Texas," Marquez said. "He is the last of the gentlemen Republicans in our state."
Ellis Wyatt said:
He's a fake Republican. Adios.
Come on, no he's not. He voted with Trump more than 90% of the time. Many in this thread seem to think that voting for Cornyn makes someone a RINO or worse, a "moderate". That's BS. Maybe it applies to some, but the vast majority are afraid that Paxton will lose, because the real moderates will vote Dim. I would love it if conservatives controlled the state, but we don't have 50% of the votes. We therefore must have moderates, and some non-lunatic Dem crossovers. Paxton baggage might push those types away. On the other hand, I can just about guarantee that all the Cornyn primary voters will vote for Paxton because the alternative is a nut case.
I've posted it before, but I'll say it again - Mehmet Oz and Herschel Walker lost winnable seats because they were crappy candidates. Paxton leans toward crappy with all his baggage, even though most in this thread love his policies. I'm praying he wins.

Just another example of why we need term limits on all of our "representatives".
Or go back to when Senators were appointed.

No one cares about Paxton's "baggage"
No one in this thread does. But do you really believe the "moderates" don't care?
njohn87 said:Decay said:
So many Concerned Moderates coming out of the woodworks. If you all voted for Cornyn he'd still be around next year!
I voted for him twice in three months! Did my best to keep out the freaks like French and Middleton too. I'm afraid these primaries are going to be a race to the bottom until somebody finally loses a general. That's really the only way to discipline the primary voters.
We are currently in freefall with Cornyn in office.
His quote is bull***** He's a fake Republican just like Cornyn. They just don't want to let go. You can be sure he'll vote for Talarico. They believe they're smarter than the people.

We had a POTUS getting freaky with a 22yr old intern in the Oval Office 31 years ago. That's 3 stinking decades ago at the highest level.
Baggage is no longer a political problem.
