Were you surprised at how badly Cornyn was defeated in Texas? [View all]

Ken Paxton seemed to be known by everyone in America except for the voters in Texas. The number one rule for MAGA voters seems to be that their candidate has to be a sleazebag. If he is supported by Donald Trump, that is double good.

Democrats are celebrating in some corners because they believe Paxton will be easier to defeat. That is not necessarily the case. We are dealing with a cult. If the leader of that cult tells his followers to vote one way or the other, they trample on everyone and everything to get to the polls. I am hesitant to believe that Democrats can win in Texas. I will have to see it to believe it.

The few remaining establishment Republicans really liked John Cornyn but their stamp of approval held little sway over the cult Republicans. Trump is getting rid of them, one at a time. He wants a House and Senate that support him unanimously.

Paxton is like a mad dog. He has already launched a major negative campaign against Talarico. It will continue nonstop until November. Anytime the Democrats have a favorite candidate, the Republicans put all their focus on defeating that person. Talarico will be no different. The nail that sticks up gets hammered down.
