Like most associated with our president, Paxton is wholly and uniquely unqualified. He is not worthy of a seat in the U.S. Senate. Trump’s narcissism led him to choose a loyalist over John Cornyn. My hope is that Democrats don’t squander this opportunity.
Trump is a loathsome stain on humanity but many find him to be charismatic. And he did cosplay as a successful businessman on a popular tv show. It pains me to think he was elected president. TWICE!
For the life of me I cannot find any general appeal about Paxton.
True; but remember that EVERY Republican chose to violate our Constitution JUST to vote for their favorite 34x convicted fraudster and sexual assaulter after his failed coup in violation of our 14th Amendment (yes, he's working to violate TWO different sections of the same Amendment: he's an overachiever, but only when it comes to crime.) If they had anything approximating American values, they probably wouldn't be Republicans any longer, right? I know if *I* belonged to a cult that knowingly and deliberately violated our Constitution JUST to overthrow our democracy and install an Emperor, *I* would quit immediately...but I'm an AMERICAN, not a Republican.
Texas is hard for me to understand. There appears to be rampant corruption and poor performance by officials (the power grid failures, catastrophic floods continue in the Hill
Country, destructive trade policies). I know they are closing polling stations. Are they blind?
Republicans Texans love guns and hate abortion. They could care less about the character of political candidates as long as they promise to be as stupidly loose with gun restrictions, and as misogynistic and cruel as they promise to be to women. Yes, even right-wing parents whose children are gunned down and females in Texas are like this.
Sad to say, but Amy Coney Barrett lied to Congress JUST to get the job in Roberts' Supremely Corrupt Court so she could cast the deciding vote to remove women's bodily autonomy and ensure they had no safe medical abortions guaranteed if a doctor prescribed...and she's technically a woman, I think. There are evil people out there who will vote against their own (and America's) best interests if it means their "team" wins.
The good news is that Americans outnumber Republicans 2:1, so if we VOTE, they can remain --like the American Nazi Party-- to be a fringe loony group with little effect on our politics or national trajectory.
I am so embarrassed that Paxton is in office in Texas. As a person who was raised to be a proud Texan, it has been appalling and sad to watch our state elect morally bankrupt leaders. If Paxton wins, I have vowed to move.
Paxton typifies the moral bankruptcy and gross hypocrisy we’ve come to expect from republican candidates for political office. It would be a mistake to underrate him however. Remember Texans voted for Trump and he was a convicted felon.
That will be a big test for just how much of a sure thing that big red R behind Paxton’s name is. Republicans might vote for Trump even we’re he to ravish Ivanka on the White House lawn, but Paxton doesn’t have that kind of charisma. The words of Trump’s endorsement aren’t exactly glowing either.
It seems the actual reason is that there simply are NO speeches from anyone at this profoundly solemn event. Can you imagine what a travesty it would be to have tRump rambling on about himself as usual?
Marty - It’s my understanding that he is refusing to go because they won’t allow political speeches at the memorial. I am glad that they are sticking to their values - as they rightfully should. Just shows the depravity of the person occupying the Oval Office…he’s pouting because he can’t make it all about himself.
With all of his well-documented issues including moral and ethical lapses and a pretty bizarre and lukewarm from the Liar in Chief, this election should not be close, but this is Texas! Paxton and his buddy Abbot are losers and the “worst of the worst “. When the Republican spell/curse is broken, we can go after Lyin’ Ted Cruz!
Great posting Adam! It’s like with Trump . So many liabilities it’s really tough to keep up.
James - They already cheated when they raced to re-district (gerrymander) in the states mid census. Now they are trying to close polling stations and make mail-in ballots harder to do. This is after they purged the voter rolls with some states gladly handing over our information to the government. They are now desperate because they still might lose. No, this race (and a lot of other races) shouldn’t be this close with certain candidates but with all they have already done to rig the election they should not be surprised because people are seeing a president spending our money on vanity projects, enriching himself and his family, high inflation, high gas prices, high grocery costs, farmers who are struggling, killing people claiming they are narco terrorists without a trial or evidence, bombing a school full of children, tariffs and a war no one wants. Those are just the highlights from a corrupt government that made promises that they never intended to keep. If people would actually vote for their best interests best candidate instead of the letter behind the name some of these races wouldn’t even be close. Sometimes it still boggles the mind.

My hope is that REPUBLICANS don't squander theirs .... to get a real SENATOR.. they have had some fine ones.
@RepublicanAccountability
@RpsAgainstTrump
It’s astounding to me that a candidate so obviously corrupt as Paxton is a major party nominee for US senate and has a chance to win.
More astounding than our corrupt president, Donald Trump, who was elected a second time? It all just goes hand in hand for the Republican Party...
Trump is a loathsome stain on humanity but many find him to be charismatic. And he did cosplay as a successful businessman on a popular tv show. It pains me to think he was elected president. TWICE!
For the life of me I cannot find any general appeal about Paxton.
I have absolutely no appeal for anyone who ever thought trump was even suitable candidate for ANY elected office throughout the United States.
OOO! Touche. Got that Adam?
Paxton fits right in with the liars, cheats and hypocrites. It does not astound me one bit!

Why not? We have a convicted felon in the White House, or what’s left of the White House.
Sorry Luckless, as you suspect I’m a little angry.
Texas, hon.
Off to donate to James again - I am so excited to early vote for him!!
I gave James another donation today!🎉
Yay, Sue Ellen!!
Go, Emma!!

Republicans who are desperate to hold onto power have to cheat to win. You know this.

I keep saying...as an Austin resident, I can't wait to vote for Talarico!💙🩵💙

I live in Texas. I'm making another donation to Talarico's campaign. Paxton is unfit for office.
It seems like a requirement for the Repugnican party to run is that you need to be repugnant and corrupt!
Every time I think the Republicans couldn't get more disgusting, BINGO, another troll shows up.

John - This is what worries me. So many people seem to vote against their best interests all because of a letter behind the name.
It’s a mystery to me as to why people are so blind to that

Linda - “ Trump even we’re he to ravish Ivanka on the White House lawn” - just threw up in my mouth ;)
Sorry.
Texans VOTE VOTE VOTE for the good guy. Get corruption out of Texas politics!
🤞🤞 Thanks, Adam.....thank the gods that November is coming soon!💙💙💙💙
I’m thinking of the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. “The storms of November came early”. Hopefully it portends disaster for the Republicans.
...from your lips, Pam!!
🙏
Paxton fits right in with the liars, cheats and hypocrites.
Do you suppose the fact that djt didn’t get to speak at the 9/11 memorial has anything to do with this mess he is having in Dallas?
It seems the actual reason is that there simply are NO speeches from anyone at this profoundly solemn event. Can you imagine what a travesty it would be to have tRump rambling on about himself as usual?
That’s why they said, “No effin’ way.”
And are paying $25k or more to do it.
