My suspicion is Ken has got this easily. TX Republicans may feel Cornyn has been in DC long enough and it's time for change.
For this reason I dont think it will be nasty. Paxton could well cruise (CRUZ) to victory although I'm sure Cornyn will sling some low blows and spend his war chest rather than go quietly.
Paxton is already getting endorsements from the Texas Congresscritters. You got to think he's favorite for this!?!
Kamala had no primary.
It did not save her.
Go Paxton Go!
The first sentence says Cornyn has been a reliable conservative? I don’t know his entire record, but the impression I get from Free Republic, is that he is a RINO type, and his being RINO is what caused Paxton to challenge him in the primary.
Cornhole got Thune’s endorsement. That will convince a lot of people...
...To vote for Paxton.
“John Cornyn has long been a reliable conservative in Congress.”
I guess I missed that.
Cornyn should just announce his retirement. Paxton will beat him by 25% in the primary.
Cornyn conservative?
Who will replace Paxton?
It’s a fairly simple fight between the Bush/Wall Street/New World Order globalist Republicans on one side, and the Populist/Main Street/Nationalists on the the other.
The deep state has been transferring left leaning voters in from California, Minnesota and the Northeast for the last 20 years. (based on license plates). SO it’s going to be closer than it should be.
Paxton has taken on the tech giants - and won. So there will be no shortage of money for Cornyn unless the oligarchs figure that Paxton will be less dangerous to them as 1% of the Senate than he would be running free in Texas.
Anyone in Congress who certified the 2020 Big Steal should be primaried. Good for Paxton to challenge this RINO.
I stopped reading after that BS dump.
Paxton all the way.
BTW, Cornyn is NOT a reliable conservative vote.
He’s a Swamp Rat RINO, be good to see these POS dinosaurs go away.
He’s dead, Jim.
“Sen. John Cornyn has long been a reliable conservative in Congress.”
I quit reading right there.
John Cornyn Is not a conservative.
He only pretends to be conservative when he is up for re-election.
Time to send Paxton to the Senate.
The problem is not the challengers, it’s the current office holders. Cornyn and his ilk should just exit stage left with all the filthy lucre they’ve accumulated while in office and let the new breed have a chance to start rebuilding this nation.
Coding was a law school classmate of my father. He used to be a reliable conservative but has certainly gone beltway/uniparty. I’ll be voting Paxton.
right there I stopped reading.
What nonsense.
regardless of which one of these men win the primary there is no chance at all a Dem will wind up winning the general election.
If this was a close or purple state, yes a bitter primary fight could wind up handing the general to a Democrat.
However that is not likely to happen in Texas..
Combined with try fact that of the 7 toss up states only 2 are currently republican, the idea this race could cause the GOP to lose their senate majority is beyond idiotic.
Even if the Dems could pull off a sweep of the toss ups which is highly, highly unlikely. They would only gain 2 seats. To take control Dems would need to take 4, so even if this nonsensical argument that a primary fight would cost the GOP a senate seat in TX, GOP would still have control of the Senate.
Fearmongering by the establishment
