It’s been a while since I had algebra, but I’ll try.
In 2024, Trump beat Harris 6,393,597 to 4,835,250, with 61% turnout.
In 2026, Talifreako beat ethically-challenged Paxton 5,445,121 to 4,249,752.
That means 1.5MM voters in 2024 didn’t play in 2026.
Talifreako grew Harris’ vote total by 12%. Paxton fell 2.1MM/ 33% from Trump’s total.
Based on exit polling (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_United_States_Senate_election_in_Texas#Analysis, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2024_United_States_presidential_election_in_Texas#Exit_poll_data), Paxton relative to Trump,
-lost 10 percentage points of Moderate support,
-lost 11 percentage points of White Men and 8 of White Women,
-lost 12 percentage points of Black Men,
and more.
As for why, The Pubbies are Dems circa 2024, just in reverse…”Dems are baaaaad. Vote for us, not because we offer anything, but because they’re commies, socialists, and very baaaad.”
In fact here is Ken Paxton’s election website - https://www.kenpaxton.com/ - Right there, at the top and up front…what is his message?
‘KEN PAXTON UNSHAKABLE. UNBROKEN. UNAFRAID.
‘The Democrats have made Texas their top target, and they’ve nominated the most radical candidate in Texas history: James Talarico. This election will determine whether Texas remains the conservative stronghold that leads America or becomes another state controlled by the radical left.
‘KEN PAXTON IS LEADING THE FIGHT TO STOP HIM, BUT HE CAN’T DO IT ALONE.’
That’s it…vote for me because I’m not Talarico. Forget about my ethics problems because he is a baaaad man. For what do I stand? I dunno…but I’m not him. That’s reason enough. Shaddap and vote for me already.
No vision, no philosophy, not even some pork.
In a nutshell, Paxton lead a flaccid campaign that didn’t inspire voters, or give them a legit reason to vote FOR HIM. All he did was offer a reason to not vote for the freakazoid, who only needed to grow Harris’ vote total 12%.
It’s easy to blame it on fraud. That prevents honest reflection and doing the hard work to correct errors.
Keep up the fraud whining, and President Newsome and VP AOC take oaths in 2029.
Low-T Jimmy got more votes than Harris or the Potato before her???
