The US will get the government the US deserves.

I’m just sad because my grandkids don’t deserve this.

Paxton’s personal life cost the Republics this seat.

I’m sure Karl Rove loved this result. He was behind the the GOPE effort to get Paxton impeached with ZERO facts to justify it.

No, Trump anointed Paxton who is a seriously flawed individual.

I think this might be premature.

It’s only the big cities and early votes. If you look at rural votes, it’s breaking 70/30 for Paxton.

Looks bad, yes. But not so sure.

Hopefully, my early, rural vote helped.

I guess Republicans stayed home. I don’t understand why they thought that was a good idea. We can trust a democrat to do what is good for the country. /SARC.

And yet, people on Free Republic were thrilled, when Paxton won that primary. John Cornyn was too liberal, so we were told.

Now people are saying Paxton was a loser and Trump should not have backed him? And yet, Texas voters chose him in their primary.

And then some are saying tonight, John Cornyn could have won that election. But then, John Cornyn was too liberal for people on Free Republic. Would Freepers really have been happy if Cornyn was in the general election? And won reelection, he still would have been too liberal, right?

Yup. For 50 years I’ve been settling for RINO and voting for the party against the leftist. When it came time for the RINOs to support the nominee against the socialist, it was too much to ask. The 2028 primaries should begin a brutal reckoning.

they will find the votes to make it “sure”.

I don’t believe so many republicans in various states voted democrat. I don’t believe so many independents want to doom the country.

something not right on some of these results. plenty of cheating was being talked of prior to election. machines, early voting helpers, decoy dan, etc etc etc

They’re pissed at Trump, feeling that he duped them. Dispirited, they have given up. Perhaps I’m projecting a bit here...
