17. But Senate Republicans won't be voting in Texas in November.

Texas is MAGA central. We have a bunch of absolutely DUMB idiots down here who will crawl on their bellies with their mouth breathing lungs hanging out to vote AGAINST someone who they have been made to believe thinks there are six sexes. They are being led to believe that Talarico has said that God is nonbinary (heaven forbid!!!!) and that he's (gasp!!!) a vegan.

The secret is going to be to convince all of Cornyn's supporters that Paxton is evil and Talarico is the only way to go. Again, I am hopeful and will be doing what I can to convince the Cornyn supporters that I know. But Texas does not go the way text books think it should. It is a special case and those of us who have lived the despair and let down and dashed hopes have learned not to count our proverbial chickens until they hatch.

Thanks for the exchange, welcome to DU, and have a great evening!!!
