Sure. You could abstain. Then you for sure will get what you absolutely don't want.
Again, you've got 2 choices and one is clearly, by a long amount, more likely to produce the results I want. The other is 1000% likely to produce the results i don't want.
So, abstain all you want. Its stupid and self defeating. If you want tceh to ruin your day twice, go for it
Better to abstain, wait six years to get the right person in office than elect Paxton and have him in office in perpetuity.
That's what the primary was for. Paxton won and now is your choice if you prefer anl candidate more oriented towards the right.
It's that or real disaster
Given the nature of party primaries its difficult to get someone out once they get in.
I mean the success rate is atrocious.
We are better of losing...and making up for it now than have the stain of Ken Paxton perpetually hanging over us.
You keep saying "we". Are you talking about the democrats? Because sure, voting in Talarico is surely better for them. There is no planet on which 6 years of Talarico in the senate representing Texas is better for the Rs.
I'll take 6 years of Talarico over 24 of Ken Paxton.
Good luck with that, comrade!
Folks aren't focused enough on the long game…we need to get the Republican Party right, and if we tolerate corruption, then we will become that.
If you would take Talafreako for six years, you are no Republican!
Voted Republican in every election since I was 18.
Won't support abject corruption.
I think there's something more to being an American than voting your party every single time regardless of outcome.
I want a strong Republican Party, and if Talafreako needs to be elected, so Paxton never runs again…so be it.

He's a true believer. He doesn't care about character. He only cares that Talarico turns Texas into California.

It's a choice between a guy that makes mistakes and a guy who wants men in women's sports and thinks it's okay to cut off children's body parts. If you cans vote for a false preacher and the above mentioned, then you are sadly struggling with your belief system. I pray you will think about how dangerous Tallerico is to our society as a whole.
If only it was as easy to get a hall pass from the missus as it is for evangelicals to give to Paxton.

As I said multiple times before, Ken Paxton doesn't give two s**** about the law anything or other than his donors. He is for sale. He is corrupt. He uses the power of his office to help his donors. He was impeached for it and he should have been convicted. He's pulling the same s*** for Cody Campbell now. He is a pay-for-play prostitute.
Our choices are this guy or a gay communist.
the impeachment was political and means nothing.
The Acquittal: Following a trial in the Texas Senate in September 2023, senators voted to acquit him on all charges.TEXAS SENATE RACE: Remember, the House didn’t put the staffers who reported Ken Paxton to the FBI under oath, but the Senate did during trial where they admitted they had no evidence of any crime. The FBI didn’t find any either. It was political payback.

NEW: This Is A Pretty Stunning Endorsement.

Dan Cogdell didn't just work with Ken Paxton.
He defended him.
Cogdell served on Paxton's impeachment defense team and was also involved in his criminal case.
Now he's backing Paxton's opponent.
And his explanation was blunt.… pic.twitter.com/Kv7D2LZyKL
Quote:
In his endorsement statement, Cogdell listed Texas's lagging rankings: last in health care, bottom in education, first in school shootings, and leading in the uninsured rate. he argued that these failures illustrate why a "muchneeded change" is essential, about the state's policy direction.

Religion should have no bearing on politics IMO. Their policies and character is what matters most to me. Talarico is a no brainer vote for me. I know lots of people including many relatives (many whom are older) are looking forward to voting for him.

Just thought I'd point that out to you.

They're bringing up the democrat attorney still being a democrat again. Better vote for Marxist destruction of our country since this lawyer didn't turn conservative after representing Paxton.

Cornyn had the RNC swamp on his side, and Paxton had the Texas Republican party on his. Poor Hunt didn't stand a chance against either establishment.

Can any of you Talarico voters list 3-5 policies that are different from Paxton and are policies that I should consider when voting?
