I had this discussion with a relative in California on a recent visit. He said “Surely even you can’t hold your nose and vote for Paxton?” My response, though not as eloquent as yours, was exactly the point you’re making. I said “There’s been a lot of noise, much of it out of divorce papers and democrats about ‘corruption’, but nothing has stuck. His reputation, just like Trump’s, is nothing more than severe resistance to limiting government. Even if I believed the ‘corruption’ noise, I’d still vote for him because 99% of politicians are corrupt, but only a small number are effective and Paxton is wildly effective.” Thanks to this Substack, I was armed with examples. I love the guy and can’t wait to watch him wreak havoc in the allergic-to-effective GOP Senate.

“Only one’s who can see through the “fog of war” will be able to see it. The “big bad” oil companies, the big bad “corporations that aren’t people”. Like it says in the good book “you will know them by their fruit”. Whether it’s an individual or any larger group of individuals.”

Ken Paxton brings the good fruit !!!!

Paxton is such a superior candidate that it boggles the mind that Talarico is such a close contender. If Talarico is elected, the first thing that will happen is that the Welcome sign will be resurrected for illegals. Democrats should pay attention to New York City dwellers who are already experiencing buyer's remorse.

It’s a shame you’re having to work so hard to keep Texans from swallowing this Talarico bullshit.

As a fellow Texan, I can honestly say the state of Texas will miss having such an admirable Attorney General who has handled so many winning cases with national interest. However, we will finally have the best candidate for Senator to replace weak Cornyn. The comparison between Paxton and Cornyn is not the only reason for voting for Paxton. The comparison between Paxton and Talarico is so obvious, I cannot fathom him losing to that freak. Talarico called the Bible propaganda and was against putting the 10 Commandments in the classroom. His stint at seminary school was a colossal waste. He speaks blasphemy regularly. He has a joint financial account with his mother, who he still lives with at the age of 37!! Paxton is so much more qualified to serve in the Senate and will bring an abundance of expertise and experience. Talarico is funded by out of state donors. We cannot let outsiders influence our elections.
