It doesn’t do me a whole lot of good trying to fight these petty little battles but I’m going to do this once because I’m having a bad day and I can’t not. Look at my original comment. Look at that 90% figure. Ken Paxton is running a strong campaign not because he’s a talented politician, he’s running a strong campaign in spite of his numerous personal failings. Running neck-and-neck for a Senate seat is a strong campaign. He isn’t responsible for 90% of that. As others have noted, pointing out the obvious, Ken is terrible at this and yet there he is, on the verge of getting a Senate seat. No shit he’s bad at this. My whole point is he doesn’t have to be good at it when he’s got an (R) next to his name. That alone is giving him the appearance of a strong campaign, because the polling reflects it.
He's about as bad a candidate as you will see and he's doing just fine in Texas because fucking Texas. Totally agree with you, I don't really understand how people are still thinking that voters act rationally. Like really? After all this nonsense for years and years and the person you're replying to thinks Paxton doesn't have a great chance of winning.
lol. right. keep telling yourself that bud. a 'strong' campaign would have been if cornyn didn't get shitcanned by trump. 'strong' campaign means no chance that a dem ever has a shot at winning that seat, same as it has been for like the like ~30 years. right now as i type this its' 47%-45%. you're making up that 90% figure to make yourself feel better but really sounds like you have no fucking clue what you're talking about. but bless your heart for trying lmao.
