Exactly. I voted in 5 races this morning, and the person I voted for will lose all 5.
Exactly what commonalities do I share with the MAGA GOP?
But hey, throw your lot in with working class rural voters, the most rapidly shrinking demographic in the country. #smart
(In fairness, such voters put Trump over the top in the 2016 election, one he lost the popular vote by 2.3%. I don’t think current coalitions would allow Trump to overcome that deficit and still win the EC.)
When did popularity in primaries equal popularity in a general election.
Btw, I’m sure you will enjoy the second term of your terrible Dem Governor. Cuz that’s coming.
Haha. The stupid GOP spent 100M on your amnesty boy Cornyn and he got destroyed.
Andy Biggs is awesome. Let’s see what happens as Arizona has reddened since 2024. Your last Arizona prediction told us Justin Heap would lose after defeating RINO traitor Richer. Oops, you got that wrong. You may become the equivalent to Jeff gloating about market crashes. Cramer Train.
Time for you to lose emotion and decide Paxton or Tarico. It’s really that simple. Do you find it hard to get behind the American flag or not?
Oops, someone on here thinks Latinos are stupid and will vote for Tarico because his name ends with a vowel.
I will be voting for Talarico. Zero chance I’d ever vote for Ken Paxton. I said this months and months ago, I would never vote for Paxton in a general.
I’ve made countless predictions on politics. Many were right, many were wrong. You bragging about winning a bet I’m pretty sure you gave 4 or 5 to 1 odds is hilarious but typical.
In the three public polls this year, Biggs is trailing Hobbs by an average of over 6%. Enjoy the Dem running the state. Wonder if she’ll get full control of the legislature lol?
Just to be clear here, the total number of voters cast in Hidalgo County (biggest in the RGV) in these two elections.
2026 Dem Senate primary - 60,000
2026 GOP Runoff - 6500 trending towards 9-10K.
So Dem primary participate was only 6-6.5x tonight. Doesn’t seem great for Rs to me.
And let’s look at Cameron County, which has always been somewhat more R (second biggest county down there)
2026 Dem Senate primary - 32,500
2026 GOP Runoff - 5500 trending towards 7-7.5K
Btw Cornyn won both counties in the first round, and neither were that close. I’m sure Trump inspired some switchers but seems like the Cornyn vote just isn’t as likely to show up for a runoff (which was always a problem for Cornyn tho runoff turnout looks terrible to me considering several high profile races on the ballot).

I am guessing if you wrote down policy you agree with, it would not align much or at all with Talarico. You don't have to watch a lot of tape on him to know this isn't a vote to brag about.
I live in a neighborhood of people that used to work in large cities. I am guessing well over 80% of them have advanced degrees. I know 4 people that vote dem of probably 80ish I know well. Of the four, three are ladies. Two have bachelors and didn't work outside the home in a career. Their husbands have advanced degrees and hit it big. The other lady is part of a husband/ wife attorney team from California that recently bought here to escape the politics they voted for. This makes little sense unless you don't believe the nonsense flying out of your pie hole.
I was at a get together last week where five couples discussed politics. Probably half would have supported someone other than Trump in the last presidential primary. Eight of the ten had advanced degrees and all sleighed their careers. All were voting against Cornyn. Two people knew him personally and were not voting for him.
I am not sure I see the young purple haired city ladies with sociology or art degrees as high information voters like you do.

Another emotionally hysterical laughing outburst by the hyena…. Not sure what’s funny about this post but the emotionally deranged sure thinks it’s funny.
A vote for Talarico is about as moronic a decision as humanly possible. It’s like having a splinter in your thumb and cutting your hand off. Actually, it’s closer to taking a **** and putting the log on a hotdog bun and eating it. Stupid AF.
I am not the DA who made the bet that Hillary would win Utah. I’m the guy who took advantage of the DA who made that bet. That was hardly a ballsy call on my part.
Normallly, I won’t take advantage of someone that way. But when their name is etched on the bronze tablet and holds the highest Texas score in bar history, I’m down
Hopefully we see a clean election in Arizona. Arizona wasn’t even close in 2024. In reality, it was totally stolen in 2020, but I forget you believe it was perfect.
A lot of Rs will go down with the crap they are pulling. Somehow Talarico supporters believe these unprecedented moves by Rs with an R president are perfectly OK.
Train - you are still a Republican, but the people who put them in power are sick of their crap.

I have leftover brats from Memorial day. I think I now can't eat them......
low IQ fool is triggered by an emoji again
amazing how you extrapolated all that from a laughing emoji
it brings me great joy that it bothers you so much
Low IQ…. That’s funny but it also drips with irony coming from the hysterically deranged….
It’s completely illogical at a bare minimum.
Polynames will be waiting until Massie’s last day in office fir him to list the Epstein associated names he claims to know.
Exactly. Fox News did a drive-by about all of Trump’s endorsements, as well. Lazy stuff.
Non-deranged minds would realize this article is entirely propaganda. "Parts of Europe", LOL. Yes, records get set all the time in "parts".
Good thing they have windmills to keep them cool!
It is. Just like the propaganda you shared yesterday.
Keep celebrating the prospects of 2 million more people and data centers in Arizona.
Cornyn a huge supporter of H1Bs. I expect Train will be in Frisco this weekend since his views match the views expressed for this rally.
Not sure who gets credit for this but I think Trump retweeted it.
I don't give a flip about your social circle. People in mine largely don't talk politics, probably something of an age thing (and almost certainly a disgust for our current politics).
Yes, people with money who retire to Fredericksburg, Texas (a place that is so far from somewhere I'd ever consider moving) are almost certainly more conservative than the average person with similar amounts of money. And that's great. Good for them. We have nearing 340M people in this country, plenty are educated, wealthy, and conservative.
On average, the people who voted for Cornyn yesterday were almost certainly wealthier and more educated than those who voted for Paxton (Cornyn's two best counties besides the rural one he won 6 votes to 2 lol were Travis and Dallas Counties). But with 1.2M voters, Paxton certainly had highly intelligent, highly educated voters, successful voters. If you go back to the 2016 GOP primaries, the R candidate whose voters made the most $$$ - John Kasich, the ones who made the least - DJT, of course.
As for Democrats, who says they are wholly composed of highly educated voters? They ain't. In fact, their worst voters are typically their most educated, their base voters often their most rational (in the GOP, it's largely the opposite).
It bothers almost every GOP partisan I know how I've responded to Trump. Oh well ... I often take the road less traveled, and I believe the GOP needs pain to get its act together. And don't worry, the pain is coming.

Btw, my life experience - which is pretty on point for this comparison - strongly suggest that the people of Rock Island, IL are way ******* "tougher" than the people of Texas. It isn't the 1930 Dust Bowl in Texas.
The state is a massive economic engine powered by major metropolitan areas, huge suburbs, and a population with a lot of skill/ability. That's all complimentary from me, but the white collar workforce is what this state actually is, not the myth and legend portrayed in Landman (great show) and Walker Texas Ranger (never watched it, RIP Chuck Norris).
Texas is 84% urban at this point, the 15th most urbanized state in the nation. The most similar state in the country based on population size and urbanization to Texas - Illinois, of course. Funny.

So MAGA endorsed candidates are at 100 % as long as the President endorses them.
Was some political pundit here telling us that MAGA AND TRUMPS endorsement no longer were meaningful ?
Drano,
Stick with picking Assistant Coaches, your political instincts are "Plymouth Lawyer" level; non-existent.
I no longer bet, but I DO donate to places like Tunnel to Tower, where the funds are spent on US servicemen and servicewomen !
Make the bet THE DONATION and you can still beat your chest !
