Good. Cornyn go away. We are DONE paying you to destroy America. Helping THE PEOPLE does NOT mean giving them more govt $. I remember Rush saying dems think helping America is giving more people welfare while repubs think helping America is getting MORE people off of welfare

For the last week or so I have gotten at least one mailer from John Wayne McCornyn per day. I don’t think I have gotten anything from Paxton. McCornyn must be skeered!

Too bad that Thune isn’t up for election this year. I would like to see him 22 points behind a primary opponent.

Coincidentally, tomorrow is the 170th anniversary of Preston Brooks’ caning of Charles Sumner.

Perhaps we should celebrate appropriately.

Who's running for AG besides Chip Roy? Here's the only thing I know about Roy. A young man who was one of my clients told me he interned for Roy and that all Roy's interns were given substantive assignments. Interns for other representatives were gophers.

Roy also had a weekly lunch with his interns where he discussed their development and progress.

Of course, these are not reasons to vote for the man but I think they show a little insight into his personality.

I am so sick of the people on this forum who whine that Trump giving his imprimatur to Paxton is the death of the GOP.

Pathetic.

I’m not voting for Chip Roy, endorsed by all GOPe, including Ted Cruz. I’m voting for Mayes Middleton, endorsed by Ken Paxton.

Chip Roy also worked as an attorney in the private sector for a number of years before being involved in politics. That is always a good thing for an AG, in my opinion...

The second he gets elected, the pressure needs to be put on him not to go full Cornyn.

It’s actually the possible life avenue for these feckless spineless no commitment asshats

Otherwise they might as well be UK tories

How many decent senators ?

7-8

It’s pitiful
