TEXAS RUNOFF THREAD

[cotton1706]

Ok, here's a thread for tonight. I live in MA so I don't know when the polls close.

[Freeping Since 2001]

Breitbart was reporting on the RALPH Hall race, not the Bob Hall race.

[JRandomFreeper]

I won't be voting for Cornyn in the general election. He'll have to win or lose without my vote.

His critical cloture vote for Reid's removal of the debt limit was the last straw. That liberal Reid-supporting bastard needs to go.

I've known Brian Babin for 20 years and know what kind of man he is.

I'm thrilled that he will probably represent me in Congress.

[tflabo]

Ditto that bro....

[centurion316]

I won't be voting for Cornyn in the general election.

Will you be voting for the Democrat candidate?

[JRandomFreeper]

Nope. I don't vote for liberals. Not liberal Democrats or liberal Republicans.

Yep I mistyped the District #

It is Senate District 2

[Freeping Since 2001]

I’m not aware of which candidate was better in the primary for Railroad Commissioner or Agriculture Commissioner.

---

The various (legitimate) Tea Party Organizations all favored Miller for Ag, and Christian for RR.

Christian is the only Tea-endorsed candidate that loses statewide.

[jimbo123]

Excluding early votes, Patrick is now winning today’s vote 69%-31% over Dewhurst.

[JRandomFreeper]

Sitton is supposed to be an engineer. And since the RR commissioner has mostly to do with oil production... that might not be a bad fit.

[deport]

Patrict edging close to the 65% plateau.

[JRandomFreeper]

I will be making calls and visiting folks and suggesting they might want to leave that section of the ballot blank.

[centurion316]

I will never vote for a Democrat, period. However, I think that not voting or voting some some third party loon is generally not a good decision, unless the issue is not in doubt. Helping to elect a Democrat, either directly or indirectly, is something a Conservative should never do

[JRandomFreeper]

That would be what we call an ole-fashioned ass whuppin'.

/johnny

[deport]

Yep he’s on target to exceed 65% overall. I hope he can make it.

[lonestar]

Christian was supported by Ted Cruz's father.

Christian supported Ted Cruz when Cruz was polling 2%...one of Cruz's first supporters...before it was cool.

[Bigun]

Excluding early votes, Patrick is now winning today’s vote 69%-31% over Dewhurst.

So it would appear that the more Deuhurst talked the worse it got for him!

Good!

[centurion316]

Since the race will not likely be competitive, that’s an acceptble course of action. But in case that could result in a Democrat win, it would be an incredible blunder.

[JRandomFreeper]

So you are telling me that if a liberal pro-abortion gun grabber wins the republican nomination, I need to vote for the liberal pro-abortion gun grabber?

Or that I need to vote for the liberal rat bastard that openly has supported Harry Reid's agenda with his critical cloture votes?

You can pound sand. I'll vote for a conservative, or not at all.

/johnny

[JRandomFreeper]

Keeping that liberal republican rat bastard in a leadership position in the Senate is an incredible blunder. Either way, Reid gets his supporting votes. Cornyn has proved that he'll provide them.
