MAGA even more so. Paxton thinks he can go on his infidelity vacation and come back and campaign at the mega pastor's church and all the stoopid white KKKristians will show up and vote for him in November.

Texans who are sick of suffering through the corruption as they lose services and pay more for everything.

This is expected to be a bad hurricane season. If Texas gets hit hard in September and Trump screws them with FEMA screwups and not enough money or resources Talarico might win leading the state to go blue and get rid of Abbott too.

... Paxton an insect, but even ticks, the most useless insect imaginable, are at least a snack for chickens. Paxton is devoid of any use, or redeeming qualities, whatsoever.
