Drafting Ken Paxton For U.S. Senate
FR ^ | Jan 27 | RF

Posted on 01/26/2025 9:37:37 PM PST by RandFan

TX FREEPERS or anyone else:-

Would you support a movement to draft the Attorney General Ken Paxton to run against John Cornyn in the Republican primary for US Senate in 2026 ... ?

I want to convince him to run (if he needs it) and I might become more active 😂

You know I feel strongly about it but it might be election interference I don't know 😳

Ken Paxton needs to know you have his back so would you support it?

The clock is ticking and Cornyn has got to go!

I haven't felt like this since a certain Rand Paul in 2009 and I reckon Ken can knock off Cornyn causing a similar upset

I would hate, hate, hate to lose Ken as AG. But Cornyn needs to go, so yes I would support it.

He’s realistically our best chance of retiring that fool

But yes, he’d be a loss to your state I understand.

Sometimes though you have a higher calling. I said the same about Vance in Ohio. Freepers still worry about his replacement

I don’t know if Paxton is the right person or not but something has to be done about Cornyn.

A loss to state politics I should say. He’d be serving you in a different capacity

Lets face it Cornyn does not!

It’s really encouraging Ken already has a following in the state and is perhaps the best AG in the US

Realistically he can do it

Anyone else ? It would be a struggle unless I’m mistaken. Cornyn is a powerful man

How would suggesting the AG of Texas to primary Cornyn be considered “election interference”? It is not and I would support it.

The only real power Cornyn has is deep state backing

The Texas State Bar just dropped their lawsuit again Ken

I try and stay out of elections from afar. I last felt so strongly about Rand in Kentucky circa 2010

Paxton is the real deal I’m convinced! Cornyn is also terrible.

Oh yes but somehow he gets all the endorsements and backing within the state. He knows how to play the game and has done it for decades

Another victory. I saw that.

He’d be a great senator and ally. He stands out to me as a leader

Paxton is the real deal I’m convinced!

Paxton was one of the first state AGs to catch on to the Catholic "charities" sham at the border. In February 2024, he sued a Catholic NGO in El Paso for "alien harboring, human smuggling, and operating a stash house."

Texas sues immigration nonprofit, claiming it engaged in smuggling

Ken Paxton, or Daniel Dewhurst.

I don’t want to have to vote for the John Boy just to keep a real Democrat out of the seat. (And yes a Democrat word be far, far, far, far, worse.

Nope..... for the time being. Texas can’t afford to lose this man as AG. Our legislature is a disaster what with the RINO’s running amuck and don’t even get me started on the RatTards.

He’s the man that will keep an eagle eye out for the coming shenanigan’s to slap them down good and hard with extreme prejudice. A reckoning if you will.

CornHolio’s day is coming as his dastardly deeds are soon to be fully exposed for all to see.

I’d support it - I’m a Collin County resident.

Can anyone else do it ? Ken is our best shot to take that RINO down and it has national implications
