CNN This Morning began its coverage today of Ken Paxton’s decisive victory over John Cornyn in the Texas Republican Senate primary runoff by airing Manu Raju's interviews on an Austin street with exactly two Texas Republicans who swore they won’t vote for Paxton. One even declared she will “absolutely” vote for Democrat James Talarico in November.
This is what passes for journalism at CNN these days. Hand-picked, cherry-picked, man-on-the-street interviews that conveniently fit the narrative the liberal network wants to push: that Paxton’s win is somehow fracturing the GOP and handing the seat to Democrats. Could anything be less scientific — or more revealing of CNN’s bias — than using two hand-picked interviews? Show us the outtakes, CNN! How many actual Paxton supporters did you interview before settling on just these two?

There are Republicans in Austin????
SO FUNNY!!!
LOL!! She's no Republican, let alone a Trump supporter or MAGA.
She looks more like a crazy cat lady than a Republican.
They just wanted Cornyn instead of Paxton so that the GOP base would be uninspired to vote this November. The GOP primaries and primary runoffs seem to indicate the GOP base may be looking forward to November.
“How’d they find 2 Republicans in Austin?!”
Democrats lie!
and I dont even like Collins, but she is 10 times better, heck 100 times better than Platner, a Jew hating, Hamas loving, whacking off while watching Oct 7th videos sack of sh*t and I never thought Id say that about Collins since well, she always pretty much votes against Trump, but even with THAT Id vote for her, thats how horrible horrible Platner is
Really??
She’s like like a lifetime conservative to me. /sarcasm
This reminds me of late 1998 as the impeachment of Bill Clinton was ramping up. CNN managed to find Republicans who were so disgusted with the party for impeaching Clinton that they were changing their registration. At least they said they were Republicans.
Yeah, that’s pretty stupid. Some people voted for Cornyn so by logically, there are people who won’t vote for Paxton.
The question to me is in WHAT state could he get elected to the Senate with as extreme a transgender position as one could take without being transgender himself.
Short answer, it ain’t Texas and it ain’t any of the other 30 states Trump won in 2024.
CNN trying to make themselves feel good, whistling past the graveyard.
