16. Let's hope so.

In my little part of Texas red neck land, the praise for all things Paxton is great. They'd all about given up on Cornyn.

Talarico is amazing, and I am hopeful! But I learned a long time ago that disappointment happens in Texas politics. Talarico is the very obvious and best choice, but I live around some really stupid people. Lots of attack ads saying Talarico believes in the six sexes, etc. The ads in generally are really gearing up to try to take Talarico through the mud, and the MAGA's down here will love that.

Let's hope that the few remaining sane Republicans will come through and vote for the sane choice.
