It’s hard to imagine Texas voters want an open border senator who seeks the destruction of the Oil & Gas and Beef industries.

This is the akin to the “coffee/butter is bad for you/good for you” merry-go-round. It all depends on who is doing the polling. And since we now know that many are fake, they’re worthless.

Talafreako is leading Paxton when he hasn’t even retracted his statement that God was non-binary and God is queer. What kind of f’ed up world do we live in when as solid as a red state as TX is, a freak like Talafreako not only has a chance but he’s actually LEADING? Is this real life?

Paxton is an American hero. If you're not familiar with him and fighting election fraud here's a synopsis of the fight in this man.

That this race is even a race is disgusting.

I would vote for Paxton, but he’s just a bit too brash for me - therefore, I’ll sit out this election because if the Democrat wins, then the Republicans, NEXT TIME, will do an even better job finding a Conservative that also doesn’t embarrass me, in front of my social circle.

(Sound about right, Purists? One note that the Purists don’t seem to give a shit about: “Next time, in this context, is 6 years from now.)

Texas has gotten a lot of transplants from blue states in recent years. Perhaps they are bringing their politics with them.

Dems in Texas were more energized in the primary, when 2.3 million voted compared to 2.16 million Republican. Hope the GOP voters show up in November.
