***Breaking News*** TSF Endorses Paxton

[DemocratSinceBirth]

I'm not saying Talarico will beat him, but he's a weaker candidate than Cornyn.

[GreenWave]

1. Excellent! Excellent!

[Ocelot II]

2. Not surprising; Paxton is more awful than Cornyn, so of course Trump would prefer him.

And he's more beatable.

[hamsterjill]

16. Let's hope so.

In my little part of Texas red neck land, the praise for all things Paxton is great. They'd all about given up on Cornyn.

Talarico is amazing, and I am hopeful! But I learned a long time ago that disappointment happens in Texas politics. Talarico is the very obvious and best choice, but I live around some really stupid people. Lots of attack ads saying Talarico believes in the six sexes, etc. The ads in generally are really gearing up to try to take Talarico through the mud, and the MAGA's down here will love that.

Let's hope that the few remaining sane Republicans will come through and vote for the sane choice.

3. Senator Talarico incoming.

I'm down.

[Bo Zarts]

4. Birds of a feather ..

Both as crooked as a dog's hind leg.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. Paxton is weaker that Cornyn

Cornyn has been burying Paxton with some really good negative ads

[TBF]

6. MAGA here in Brazoria County love Paxton -

and they just lost the city of Pearland. The residents voted in a democratic mayor for the first time in over 40 years. MAGA leaders were throwing temper tantrums on local social media because their supporters forgot to vote, so I suspect they will be ready for midterms.

If I had to pick, Paxton is the one I'd want to run against, he's very corrupt. Still, we will need to get out the vote. It's no wonder Obama is down here campaigning and we need him. But if anyone can win, it's Talarico. He's an outstanding candidate for us.

7. Understandable

Trump is a criminal.
Paxton is a criminal.

[Renew Deal]

14. I'd love to hear Paxton say that

[senseandsensibility]

8. Of course he did

Who kissed up more? Whose, shall we say, moral compass is most aligned with trump? To me it was never in question. However, it's a gift to us because the contrast between Talarico and Paxton could not be stronger.

[surfered]

9. It's no surprise Trump would endorse another notorious scumbag.

Although polling suggests Talarico would benefit running against Paxton instead of Cornyn.

[ashredux]

10. Paxton is a crook...he barely escaped impeachment

[pinkstarburst]

11. He always picks a winner!

Seriously, that would be such a gift if he were to beat Cornyn. Not that I'm a Cornyn fan, but apparently he's just not quite crazy enough for Trump so he's out, and they want Paxton, a crooked cheat and adulterer.

Please, Texas. You know we can do better (TALARICO!!)

[Luz]

12. I love this for cornyn. He tried so, so hard to kiss

the orange ass, and all he got was an orange face.

[OGBuzz]

13. Paxton oozes corruption and scumbaggery. I hope Talarico destroys him.

[biocube]

15. Kiss your ballroom goodbye

The senate GOP won't be happy about this.

[Prairie Gates]

17. Cornyn groveled for months...Trump is flexing his muscle for the Rs

But there's an off chance he's making a mistake here and picking the weaker Gen Election candidate.

[ITAL]

18. I don't think this is necessarily good news

I mean sure, if Talarico wins it is. But I don't like to play with fire -- and if Paxton is victorious in November I think we'll regret that we lost another relative institutionalist Republican for a corrupt fire and brimstone MAGA one.
