I know Texans who have seen Paxton ads. But you’re not quite right. Thune spent a ton on Cornyn against Paxton.
Cornyn is a Republican? Who knew?
“Thune spent a ton on Cornyn against Paxton.”
This.
This right here exemplifies the problem. The only thing the GOP stands for anymore is defeating conservatives, and the GOP cannot openly campaign on that. “But Paxton has problems with...!!!...!!!” The GOP never in my lifetime has sided with the conservative. The GOP always opposes the conservative. Go back decades. Its always the same formula.
So elections have to be based on what people are “against” while everybody scratches their heads about if I vote republican what am I voting “for?”
“Voting against” and “voting for” are not the same things. Not anywhere close.
