    Here's a hint - if you vote for someone, you support them.  Whether it's Paxton, Abbott, Trump, Cruz, your vote says you support their actions.

It's literally their entire philosophy:

"Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect."

Not only do they not hide it or try to run away from it, they gleefully revel in it.  And the fucking dumbest thing is that their supporters do, too....even though 99% of them end up being just as fucked by that order of business as the people they THINK they're shitting on.  They pull the rip cord on the suicide vest, then stand there bleeding out pointing and laughing at the other people the shrapnel shredded...and they think they've won something.

I suppose that checks out.

What is it with all the wall eyed right wing attorneys?

But....that was a simpler time.  And, Morales was a democrat.  There are no such laws, rules, or standards that apply to Republicans.  A Republican can do every single thing Morales did, and....be rewarded by being elected to the US Senate.  Mark it down.  What got a democrat convicted will get a republican promoted.
But, you know, republicans and their supporters are against corruption and the deep state and all that.

Ah the good old days.

My now-wife worked at Reaud, Morgan & Quinn at the time. And my FIL was Wayne’s “fixer.” Jack Brooks’ pet name for my wife was “Wayne’s goddamned token republican office girl” who refused to vote for him. That was before her run in with Greg Abbot over Warren Jeffs turned her blue.

What a fucking world, man. But hey, I had sex.

 A Big Beto donor I know who listens to Smerconish is shocked I think Paxton will win the primary.  He predicts Cornyn wins 60-40.  Im playing possum and trying to get him to give me odds.

Have y’all seen these Wesley Hunt ads, where he’s not campaigning for any particular thing? They are prepping him to step in when/if Cornyn drops out.

Wesley Hunt would 100% beat Paxton and win the general. Really hoping Cornyn stays in.

This.  Any of y'all who think Paxton's campaign can be derailed are smoking ALL the crack.

He's a mean, utterly dishonest, criminal, fake evangelical white male.  He wins that seat in a cakewalk.  "Shitty, lying, evil white male" is the bullseye for "guaranteed electoral success" in Texas.

Wesley Hunt isn’t better, he’s merely less criminal. Besides you’re underestimating that Texas Republican voters are trained to vote with maximum cynicism, and Wesley Hunt is the clear choice there. He’s just as bad as Paxton but skates to a win and you get moral license to perpetuate racism when you for him.

You overestimate the levels of thinking of GQP voters, and underestimate their racism.  Paxton is a fake-Jesus-loving white guy who is a bonafide Trump fellater.  Nobody knows who Hunt is, but....he's black.  DEI HIRE!  Head-to-head, the cruel racist evangelical white guy SMOKES him.

Ken Paxton may actually be moving up to the presidency within the next 10 years.  He's that perfect a Republican politician.

What did I see recently about Paxton having to sit for a deposition?  I read the headline but lost it before I read the story.

Hey, she's postmenopausal and you know she fucks.  Ken doesn't have to worry about knocking her up and then shipping her off to New Mexico for an abortion.

On Thursday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton responded, not to defend the state law, but to side with the GOP in asking a federal judge to strike down parts of the election code that allow for open primaries.

Unconstitutional law? This fucking, lazy eyed dumbass...

These anti-Paxton commercials running lately are fun, even if they probably won't work.  I assume Cornyn is behind them?

Maybe Cornyn's people, but not Cornyn.  That milquetoast Stepford Texan has probably never said a funny thing in his life (not counting the "Brisket family tradition" tweet, which was unintentionally funny).

Cross-posting from the Abbott thread, the "informed speculation" I heard at the event I was at last week--to which you were invited but you did not show (shame on you, by the way)--was exactly this.

Paxton's fundraising and polling have been disappointing after Hunt announced his candidacy.  A lot of MAGA donors see Hunt as being every bit as MAGA as Paxton without any of the baggage.  You're exactly right hwn you say that Texas Republican voters are trained to vote with maximum cynicism.  And Paxton's camp is starting to get concerned that he might end up third in a three-candidate race.  And that is to say that he would end up without a job in government, which is pretty bad for a guy of his criminality.

So according to my informant, when the filing deadline comes in December, Ken Paxton is not going to have filed to run for U.S. Senate against John Cornyn; he will have filed to run for governor against Greg Abbott.

There are some people (e.g., Tim Dunn) who aren't altogether thrilled with Abbott.  I don't know if it's all about marijuana, but I think that's a large part of it.  And they see Paxton as a viable alternative.

 

 

Now, I've got to tell you--that last bit doesn't make any sense to me.  Greg Abbott has a $100M war chest.  And he's probably the most popular Republican in Texas.  I suppose Tim Dunn could challenge him on the money front.  Maybe.  But really--why?  And even if you could challenge him on the money front, Ken Paxton isn't going to challenge him on the popularity front with a Republican (or any) electorate.  

So Paxton running a real risk of missing a run-off in the Senate race makes some sense to me.  But the running against Abbott bit doesn't.

But maybe the last part just flows from the first part.  Paxton has to be desperate to hold public office given his criminality.  Any office.  He could've stayed AG, but he's probably burned his ships on that.  So he's got to find something else to run for.  Anything.  So maybe this does make some sense.
