Historically Texas is fool's gold for Democrats just like Pennsylvania is for Republicans. Trump has kinda changed the math on Pennsylvania & may have changed Texas also with the idiotic endorsement of Paxton.

Paxton has already won statewide election and Talenfreakco is just weird.

The money being spent in Miss is all for the 2nd Congressional District. The growth of Flora and Germantown has put that district into play. Even Kamala coming to campaign for Bennie. Bennie will end up wining it but it will be the last time. 2028 his district will change.

Yes, sadly we in Copiah County are in that District.

No need to vote when the outcome is clearly in the bag - which was the case well before MS "turned" Republican - unless you get woolly about civic responsibility.

The outcome is almost always in the bag almost everywhere. Districts are gerrymandered to ensure one party of the other wins & both parties punish anyone who runs against the incumbent in the primary.

I think Buttigieg is gonna be on the trail in Mississippi also. Benny is pretty much a lock so I figure Kamala and Pete are here to stump for Colom more than Benny.

I have spoken to a few people I know out in Texas. They are sitting this one out to give the finger to Trump and republicans. Mississippi is not going blue, but it is a great spot to draw money away from close races. Honestly, I am done voting for both parties. They are basically the same, nothing gets better.

I was told by a few people Phil Bryant appointed Smith because he felt he could easily replace her when he was ready to run. Any truth? Why did he never run?

Absolutely Not - The Democrats just cannot win a statewide election in Mississippi. The ceiling for Democrats is 47%-48%.

CHS is not a good candidate. A better Republican candidate would get 54%-55% of the vote. CHS got the Senate appointment from Phil Bryant because multiple other politicians declined it (specifically Tate Reeves but others also)

Scott Colom has similar political beliefs as Mike Espy and is not as well known statewide. He will not get more votes than Espy.

That’s complete horse ****

I don't know if it's possible to describe how bad a candidate Paxton is. I'm sure people are sitting out but Cornyn or a middle of the road republican candidate wins Texas easy especially against a candidate like Talarico. The fact that it's close or he's losing underscores how bad a candidate he is.

Agreed, Paxton is one of the worst candidates I have seen and that is saying a lot.

Yeah, he seems like a terrible person. Like just a really 17ing shítty person in multiple ways.

Yet he was elected, so people like that he is awful or don't care.
And he won this nomination, so people like that he is awful or don't care.

It has to be pretty confidence shaking to be someone that lost to Paxton. Knowing voters would rather have Paxton that you?...oof, that's rough.

Trump and his group threw tons of money in that race to oust Cornyn because he wouldn’t bend the knee and kiss the ring so he had to go. Cornyn would have smoked Talarico.

Yeah, it's a really interesting situation from an analytical perspecive.
And really sad situation from representative and political perspectives.


I have 0 sympathy for Cornyn. Him having his decades long career end by receiving half as many votes as Paxton is hilarious.
But it's crazy to see people actually vote for Paxton. People really did go to a voting booth and decide they want Paxton.
Wild.

The money being spent on this crap is even more insane than NIL.
It's unhinged. And its disgusting to see how the outside groups can say or claim basically anything about a random politician. Without consequence.



All elections need to be capped at 2 months long from the file date.
And Citizens United needs to be stopped through legislation.
