Saturday's episode of The Weekend: Primetime on MS NOW pretended to present a balanced discussion between a Republican and a Democrat strategist in cowboy hats about the Texas Senate race between James Talarico and Ken Paxton.
Co-host Elise Jordan introduced one of the guests this way:
“Joining us now is Mark McKinnon, former advisor to George W. Bush and John McCain… Mark, you have a long career advising Republicans in Texas.”
In reality, McKinnon’s Republican credentials are extremely thin and dated. His last significant Republican work was on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, which he quit because he wanted Barack Obama to win, saying Obama’s election “would send a great message to the country and the world.”
Rather than a "long career" advising Republicans, McKinnon has a far longer history working for Democrats, including Ann Richards, Lloyd Doggett, and others.
During the segment, McKinnon made a point of saying he and [fellow] Democrat strategist Chuck Rocha “worked for the last Democratic governor, Ann Richards,” before he “crossed the bridge with George W.” McKinnon clearly enunciated “Democratic governor Ann Richards,” but then noticeably stumbled and failed to complete “Bush” at all, trailing off after “George W.”
Both McKinnon and Rocha proceeded to bash Ken Paxton and express strong optimism about Democrat James Talarico’s chances, with McKinnon declaring it a “perfect storm” for Democrats in Texas.
Rocha claimed that whereas the Republican strategy is to divide people, “James Talarico’s whole campaign is about bringing people together.”
Ya mean, like all six genders?
Passing off McKinnon as a Republican was as phony as his cowboy hat. MS NOW presented viewers with what was essentially a conversation between two left-leaning voices while dressing it up as a balanced “Republican vs. Democrat” discussion.

War is peace.
Freedom is slavery.
Ignorance is strength.
Republican is a Democrat.................
I hope this election is a blow out. I hope Paxton beats him by 30 points. This guy is a clown.
Is MS Now still on the air? Any bets on when it moves to the 2 AM slot on local channels between paid advertising slots? Or to an online presence only?
“His last significant Republican work was on John McCain’s 2008 presidential campaign, which he quit because he wanted Barack Obama to win.”
Hell, John McCain wanted Barack Hussein Obama to win in 2008. If ever an election was thrown away, that campaign was a complete farce almost from the beginning.
Paxton was outspent about 10 to 1 by Cornyn, and won by over 25%. Talarico needs to raise $200 million to have a chance. Don't forget that the Republicans have a million more votes than Democrats (no matter what the registrations show).
I see a replay of 2024 when Cruz won by nearly 9%. Allred spent $100 million and the media breathlessly reported that the race was too close to call...until actual votes were cast.
As Edmond Dantes might say, "I'm voting for a Senator, not a Saint."
If anyone was watching msnow, they deserve to get whatever they are served.
I feel no sympathy for people that watch this channel {but I confess that once a week or so I switch to moron joe, for a few quick giggles, but can not take more than 2-3 minutes}.
This morning the rev Fat Al was certain that iran was kicking the hell out of the USA, his logic escaped me.
The only thing that disturbs me about your post is that 2024 was a Presidential election year. Are the Republicans going to show up at the polls on an off year? The fact that Cruz won by only 9% is a little disturbing.
Well now they admit they are , “Mentally Sick Now” ,LOL
PMS Now is nothing but a commie TV channel for stupid, retarded liberals. Ratchit Madcow is their spokesman.
There were nearly 900,000 votes cast in the runoff, an unheard number. Don’t buy the media reporting, Paxton will win handily.
McKinnon, Steve Schmitt, Nicole Wallace, Colin Powell were all part of a highly organized effort to infiltrate the GOP.
All of them voted for Al Gore, Obama and Biden.
