Some Republicans are growing anxious that incumbent Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) could be ousted in the competitive Texas GOP primary for Senate, giving Democrats a rare opening in the red Lone Star State this fall.
As James Talarico gains steam in the Democratic primary against Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas), across the aisle, Cornyn and some national Republicans are warning of a general election “massacre” for the party if Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is leading the GOP race in recent polling, ends up at the top of their ticket.
The possibility of an endorsement from Trump looms as a potential game changer in the tight race, but Trump was still undecided as early voting kicked off.
I’ve been fooled by this before.
Somehow Texas always sends the Republicans back into office.
Texas keeps voting Ted Cruz in, don’t get your hopes too high.
If only we could get people in blue cities to vote! So many in the past have claimed to support a dem candidate and when it came to it, they didn’t actually support anyone because they found excuse after excuse not to vote.
At first I had thought this per your point, as well. I believe what is happening, though, is that voter suppression and other anti-voting tactics are the true obstruction and obstacles to clear in voting. They want to vote.
Can they vote and what needs to be cleared to vote in reaching a ballot box is the headline.
I’ve heard too many people say that a 15 minute drive to the polls that have at most a 10 minute wait to agree with this view.
Polls, in TX at least, are open for at least 9 hours a day the first week of voting, at least 12 hours the next, and at least 12 hours on election day. There’s plenty of time to go before or after work for the majority of people, sure there are exceptions, but those exceptions don’t make up 60% of the population.
That means vote harder.
I’ve been on this earth for 47 years. And in the 28 years I’ve followed elections,. It is always this is the year Texas might flip. Let me tell you something people, it has never once been even remotely close. So don’t get your hopes up.
Texas frets their 100% insane GOP lockdown will lessen to 99% insane GOP lockdown.
I don’t know why they would want a Trump endorsement. He has a terrible record when he isn’t on the ballot. Many of his picks end up getting crushed.
Dumb american voters keep allowing clowns into govt, keep wondering why country looks like a circus, with monkeys and smelling like shit.
