Cornyn has repeatedly betrayed his voters. No telling what he's done that we don't even know about. I sent Trump an email and told him that his numerous endorsements of RINOs has rendered them meaningless for me. However, I forgave him. This I will not forgive.

"The incumbent’s better-than-expected finish"?? Are they kidding? Cornyn spent $100 million to end up in a run-off with his opponent 1.2 % points behind him, and they call that "better"? An entrenched, powerful, connected incumbent? Especially when you consider Paxton spent less than $5 million! I will be voting for Paxton and because Trump is doing this, I'll also be sending Paxton the most generous donation I can afford. I encourage others to do the same. If 100 people send Paxton $5 each, that comes to $500. And there are 100s of 1000s of us! Even if you don't vote, you can still donate. I have read where many Democrats ran on very small donations and won their race. It's also a feather in the winner's cap because it proves that the people are behind him or her. If we did that, and Paxton won, it would undermine Trump's RINO advisers and hopefully get them fired.

What has the Republican Party told us for decades? "Run moderates who won't offend the Left, and therefore are much more electable." Many of them lost because they refused to stand for anything. Now Trump has joined them. We need to do all we can to elect Paxton. BTW, Paxton has announced that he will not drop out no matter what Trump does.

I like the way you think. I was beginning to suspect we were going extinct. Just yesterday I ready a post from a candidate I was hoping would get elected in HD94 and one of her first sentences was something along the lines of having run a 'positive' campaign. In one word she exposed her anemic campaign loss to me. People have no discernment or are just outright stupid and/or ignorant. I am coming to the realization of the truth of John Wayne's words of wisdom.... "You can't fix stupid"

There are lots of us. The problem is that those of our persuasion don't want to do anything but complain. Voting is a start, but it's not enough. If more of us understood and accepted what we are up against, we would have a very big army. Instead, but for a few, we use and enjoy our freedom, never stopping to think of the danger at our doorstep. This MUST change, or we will lose everything. The enemy is brave, determined, and relentless. We are none of those. No, we can't fix stupid, but we must defeat it.

Corny is toast. He and David Dewhirst need to continue to get lost. Corny has ALWAYS represented lobbyists first, NOT Texans.

Trump is becoming a politician He is getting REALLY bad advice and worse HE is listening instead of seeing what the voters are saying...This race this exact race tells everyone just how bad corn is for TEXAS and TEXANS have kicked him to the trash pile!!! Trump will be making a huge mistake is he doesn't stand with Ken Paxton OUR next Texas Senator.

Let my man appreciate the beauty of Texas. Not everything has to be politics. Have you seen the map for Ag Commissioner? Sheets took the big cities and some medium cities while Miller kept most rural counties plus San Antonio. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/us/elections/results-texas-agriculture-commissioner-primary.html

Hey Tony--I wouldn't take for granted that God forgave you for what you did to this young staffer...I read the texts and you are a nasty person using your status to entice a young woman to go against her beliefs. You have yet to take responsibility of this staffer pouring flammable liquid all over her body and set herself on fire---Can you imagine the pain this staffer must have been in to do such a thing and have her family have to ID her burned body---This wasn't a handful of pills to end her life but much like a martyr's act asking forgiveness from God and her circle of family and friends her people. I hope you are gone from the Texas landscape and will never be heard from again...why any TEXAN would vote for such a sleaze???

I wasn't planning to vote for either, but I'll vote for Paxton if Drumpf endorses the RINO. We owe it to the Texians not to fold to El Presidente. Also voted for Dwayne Stovall last time.

There are a lot of us. The problem is that most of the people of our persuasion refuse to do anything to defend their freedom, which they use and enjoy every day. We've been free for so long that we take it completely for granted. If more of us understood and accepted what we're up against, there would be a large army to defeat our enemies--in both parties.
