6. The Repukes are so weak that their own incumbent Ken Paxton can't win 50%

How bad is that? Well we know the answer ... it's bad!

Even if Paxton manages to beat Cornyn in the run-off primary, he's behind the 8-ball for the general election. I'm not a Texas voter, but if I were, I'd be mighty wary of Chump coming in and taking credit for either candidate at the last minute.

I will donate to Talarico's campaign very soon.
