    It’s crazy to see their respective campaign strategies.

    Talarico soft-shoeing it like mad all over the state.

    Paxton jet setting to gin up as much campaign cash as his briefcase can carry, so he can fund a bunch of “Talarico Secretly Had Bottom Surgery in Ohio” Facebook ads into November.

    “Every time you think Ken Paxton couldn’t get worse, he finds a way to prove you wrong,” the Democratic Senate Majority PAC wrote on X. “Turns out, Paxton partied in Dubai with two fugitives from U.S. justice and a woman who wasn’t his wife.”

    Just living up to Republican Christian values.

    Starting to wonder if Paxton could actually be more hated in the senate than Cruz is. Cant remember who said it but I remember a quote or at least paraphrased quote, saying you could murder Cruz on the Senate floor and have 99 people not witness it.

      I think you’re thinking of this fantastic quote by Lindsey Graham:

      “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

    As bad as it seems, every time you see a headline you ask “who is this for and who does it work on”.

    If you are a ken Paxton voter in Texas last week you are a ken Paxton voter in Texas this week. This headline isn’t for Paxton voters. so who remains?

    People who are going to vote Talitico, they’re postivists. People who vote on negative sentiment are already voting for Paxton. So who is left?

    This headline is for liberals and coasters.
