Paxton did not win the Primary in March.

Either the results are fake or the polls are fake

Polls are always fake. Some are worse than others, but all are smoke and mirrors.

Yeah, because the Get Lost Cornyn! vote was split 2 ways. Paxton got the lion’s share though, almost as much as Cornhole got.

Or as Megyn Kelly and Taqiyya Qatarlson would say, morw proof that MAGA is dead.

Or, as Thomas Massie and RandFan would say, more evidence of election fraud.

Or as CNN, demonicRATS and Iran's government run media would say, Trump is losing.

I wasn't talking about March, I was talking about now.

But even in March, we knew Cornyn wouldn't get over 50% and that Paxton would eventually win in the end.

Has Cornyn announced his ‘28 presidential candidacy yet?

That is a very good point, these victories charge up the base and let’s them see that they are powerful and winning, that they are advancing.

>> I think the guy that won is a Bush guy.

Middleton is nowhere close to “a Bush guy”. 100% MAGA, strong Christian, one of the most skillful and determined senators in Texas. And he’s not the half-libtard loose cannon narcissist that Chip Roy is. He’ll be an effective and principled AG for Texas, as was Ken Paxton.

The message that was sent again tonight, like with the defeat of Massie and Cassidy is MAGA wants results

They are tired of the do nothing GOP leadership in the US Senate that thinks they can just run out the clock on Trump. The GOP-E see MAGA as an aberration that will fade away with time. What MAGA voters are telling the GOP Establishment in these primary defeats for entrenched incumbents is “get to work or we will fire you too”.

Why Fox was saying too close to call with that margin?

Not quite yet. This is just the primary. Paxton has to beat the Dem in the Fall.

These RINOs have long been untouchable. Then Donald Trump took the reins.

Thanks for the inside scoop. I don’t know Texas so I’m probably mixing this guy up with someone else I read about. Hope this guy can beat the Democrat.

I voted for Middleton; Roy is a Liz Cheney Republican. I hope Middleton names Aaron Reitz, who I voted for on March 3, as one of his deputies in the attorney general’s office.
