  1. I'll vote for Talarico, although I don't like having any Democrat in congress. The problem is that there are no actual conservatives in congress anymore, just MAGAs pretending to be Republicans. Paxton is a criminal, and Trump just endorsed him because he thought a Senator who had faced impeachment himself would be less likely to vote to remove Trump after he is impeached.

    Throw the criminals out. Maybe one day we can have conservatives in congress, instead of MAGAs and criminals.

  2. Let’s close a chunk of polling sites in rural America; few people vote in them, it’s expensive to have so many. Let’s consolidate in a few locations, hundreds of miles from its voters.

  3. Texans remember the Alamo, you want change then vote blue you don't want stupid in office vote blue, you like suffering and staying the same way your going vote red, after it's over and your still crying about how your living, remember these elections when you had a chance to do something

  4. Republicans know that they can’t win without dubious actions. They have zero agenda or plan for the American people except for the usual empty Trump slogans. They look down on Americans who vote intelligently, and conveniently by mail.

  5. I've never met a Republican that wasn't a cheat con man or fraudulent person. Never have I met one that actually cared about others in anyways unless they benefit from it

  6. When you see the talking points don't turn Texas into California. Just know Texas is trashed thanks to Republicans allowing AI to takeover for the next 10yrs!!! Then we in Texas have Greg Abbott hiding his hand by allowing these Data Centers and then appointing Don Huffines as Comptroller of Texas knowing this man is the owner of Epstein's Zorro Ranch!!! These Republicans think Texans are really stupid!!! If that wasn't the case they wouldn't have to cheat by gerrymandering and now closing 92 Democratic voting places!!! Democrats call your local Democrat party office and make sure you're registered and know where to vote!!! GET OUT AND VOTE EARLY!!!

  7. Imagine living in a country where such as toss up is even possible. So many millions of truly vile,vulgar, stupid,valueless republican semi- humans. Hutterly disgusting. ZERO respect. ZERO. The childish farce of self proclaimed American exceptionalism. is it any wonder the entire sane world thinks the USA is an insult to humanity.

  8. The slick con man Talarico is a shoe in against Sleepy Ken. Still haven't heard how he will single handedly, as a new Senator, lower the prices of food, housing and healthcare and by how much -10%, 20% or 30%. What is the timeline for the cost reductions? 2028, 2029 OR 2030? But then he passed 60 bills and lowered the price of insulin as a state senator all by himself according to his tv ads running in Texas.

  9. It is so sad that the folks of Texas are giving their vote to such a corrupt man and loser (Paxton). This is why our country is a laughing stock to the rest of the world. People will vote against their own interests when they do have anything.

  10. For it to be a toss up is a disgrace to Americans. How is it possible for a corrupt, disgusting immoral person like Paxton can even be considered equal to this young man. It says something Texans.
