On the Republican side, Ken Paxton and John Cornyn were neck-and-neck and in position for a runoff, according to the poll from the University of Texas’ Texas Politics Project.
The Colbert thing was the day this poll ended. So the additional publicity he got is not reflected in it.
I don’t have a horse in this race, they both seem reasonable candidates, who can be effective against Paxton. I don’t know why Lemmings here are so down on him. Is it because he is very outspoken in his Christianity? Not all Christians are assholes. He has said “There’s nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism”, after all.
I like him better, he seems less performative and like a good man with the courage of his convictions. In TX, he’ll probably have broader support while crockett might have more enthusiastic support. Both would be miles better than Paxton/Cornyn
Oh, I also don’t like Crockett 's AIPAC support or that she jumped into the race after talarico
She will not win the general election in Texas that is a fact. A lot of people don’t realize that Democrats used to be the confederacy. Hell I grew up in Texas and tons of Democrats are racist. I remember hearing the joke around circles back in the day. “Voted for Obama because he half white”
Or
“I voted for the white half” She is great and I hope she does great things. But goddamn they kept electing Ted Cruz.
But I will cross my fingers and hope that this does back fire on the GOP, that make my day. Of course I was bragging and excited about Trump losing to a black woman and the Democrats found a way to put Trump in office.
Talarivo is the guy the FCC wouldn’t let go on Colbert…

Crockett is the one Republicans are pushing for, because they believe she has no chance.

Not saying that means she can’t win tho, it backfired when Hillary did it for trump.

He is a bigger threat to the religious fear mongering so I kinda hope he wins
This is a good take I think. I’m kinda sick of performative politics even though that probably gets more traction in this day and age of media.
