I believe CNN is reporting Trump just endorsed Paxton.

On a slightly different topic, I hope once the primaries are over, we coalesce behind a coordinated ticket with Talarico at the top. Two things I personally would like to see happen is we bolster our credibility in general and we specifically undermine Republican credibility. Strike while the iron is hot.

Republican voters are questioning their party. They can't cogitate their way out of the corner MAGA officials have put them in. They vote for these guys and these guys ruin their lives, while demanding they thank them for it. Something has to give. And, I want us to be there to capture these votes for our side.

One idea I am pushing is to educate voters about how incredibly crucial these down ballot races are like RR Commissioner. I would also like to undermine the Republican misrepresentation of what the AG's jurisdiction is. This is not a mini-DOJ. Paxton has successfully convinced people he is a prosecutor, when he is not. Making that clear to the public and pointing out what the real job of AG is and how the Republican candidates are being deceptive about the what and how of the job will discredit them in the eyes of the public. Instead of allowing Republicans to define us, we just need to reveal them for what they are.

Anyway, onward!

I’m loving this article! You are genuinely funny in this oh-so-serious time.

I would like to think that some of the “undecided” republicans will cross over to the bright side, but I’m sure the billionaires will just push more money into the equation.

I just don't know how to take these people seriously. Let's give them more government power.

Regarding Paxton's anti-Sharia law propaganda: I was having a discussion with my Oklahoma native ex-Republican spouse about polling going into the midterms. Political discussions usually involve me telling him stuff he never hears on his preferred news outlets, (not Fox News, thankfully), which he may want to hear, or prefer not to hear. I was telling him how low the administration is polling, and the breakouts, specifically that women absolutely hate Trump, due to Project 2025, and what they're trying to do to us. His response was, "You mean Sharia law for women, but not for men?" I was blown away, because it's all so shrouded in Christian dominionism, I had never thought of that! But, of course. All accusations are a confession.

I keep saying that GOP wants to get rid of the Muslim’s, yet they want to rule as those Middle East Countries. While they point to how bad “they” are. There are 3 fingers pointing to themselves. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Great article, I will share it with a Republican acquaintance that says he voted R because the D’s were more sane. He plans to vote for Cornyn. I don’t know if he is voting for Roy or Middleton. To me they both seem scary. Based on commercials. Which would you think is worse. Or should I say better for Jaworski to run against? 😬

Like I told my friend “I hope Paxton wins so that Rep. Talarico wins.” 🙏🏼

I’m going to see if he will vote for Rep. Talarico. He did vote for Biden in 2020. Yet he call both Hillary and Kamala. He has never been married. When I talk to Hume, He upset me. So I tend not to talk to him. 🫣

Hmm....Phil Gramm? I didn't know he was ever alive in the first place.

Haha. Good catch.

Not me. Since we have not heard much from him, I just would have guessed Phil Gramm was not among the living. Just looked; he is the same age as Joe Biden. So, really not that old. Haha. The older you get the more your perspective on age changes. I did see that Trump endorsed Paxton. I guess he must like losing. Alabama votes today. Looking for the results. Doug Jones is a name I keep in mind for the future.
