The people excited about polls showing Paxton losing still don't want to defend why they want the dismantle capitalism guy. The same people pretending to care about "affordability" won't explain how open borders and green new deal spending / ending fossil fuels and universal healthcare for 400 million is going make everything cheaper for them simply by taxing the earners / producers even more.

---

So Paxton will win if he runs on Trump's economic record and "the Texas miracle." Right?

Right?

Right (voice fading)?

---

so you refuse to defend how the big gov spending and open borders you vote for helps the economy.

But yes, Trump's tax breaks, no tax on tips and OT helps affordability. Drill baby drill + Venezuela's crude helps affordability. Closed border and deportations helps affordability, especially housing and infrastructure costs. Tariffs bringing trillions in factory and facility investment commitments domestically creates jobs and security, despite cheap crap from China going up for now.

Private-sector jobs rebounding.⁰Wages growing again.⁰That was NOT happening under Biden.

Housing?
Permits and red tape can add $100K before you even pour a foundation.

The fact that this thread is so busy with so many posts from MAGA supporters reveals their fear. They went from Paxton by 10 easy no problem, to biting their fingernails just like Ted "see ya in Cancun" Cruz.

---

MAGA? You don't want to make America great again?

They are the Haters of America. The HOA. Like your local neighborhood counterpart, they seek to destroy individual rights for the good of their concept of community. And then send you the bill for it.

obviously socialists who want to dismantle capitalism hate America. Of course they don't want to make it great again. They want to destroy it and build back better with a communist utopia. Look through history and see how well that always works.

probably not a great sign for paxton that he can't even lead a poll that puts his support among black voters at twice the share trump got just two years ago. he'll be lucky to crack even 15% in the actual election.

So he's not getting 25% but you're on here guaranteeing Talarico is getting over half the hispanic vote? So some of the polls count but not the parts you don't like?

i predict with high confidence paxton gets less than 25% of the black vote. i also think it's more likely than not talarico clears 50% of the hispanic vote.

Do you think he clears 50% of the black vote?

But I do find it funny that you post a poll to show your point and then disavow the poll when it disagrees with your point.

Of course, some of you were also convinced Joe Biden was of sound mind and Trump would never win if he ran again. So I take these hopeful predictions with a grain of salt.

Tyler Mitchell, now known as Hyacinth High (they/them/theirs), shaped Talarico's campaigns and ensured they were staffed primarily by LGBTQ folks, with a particular focus on hiring trans staffers. Hyacinth is now Regional Campaigns Director at The Fairness Project. Texas doesn't need someone with Talarico's extreme ideology representing the interests of Texans.

The economy and immigration are heavily correlated, genius. Illegals depress wages and increase housing costs for these Hispanics.

---

what's next, illegals are to blame for the iran war, gas prices, and tariffs too?

---

Wait…are you disputing what I said? Or not? That's a deflection because you can't.

Do illegals use gas? What do you think their use of gas here does to the price of gas here?

This is why you vote for Democrats; you have absolutely zero concept or basic economics.

The hilarious part of all of this is that the economy is better under Trump - despite the war, tariffs, etc. - than it was under the demented dumbass you voted for. This has been stated multiple times here and yet you continually ignore disputing it. Why?

We know why.

---

hmm let's test this theory and compare january 2025 to today

unemployment: 4.0% then, 4.1% now
CPI: 3% then, 3.4% now
real gdp growth: 2.3% then, 1.5% now
brent crude: $76 then, $100 now

sounds like fake news to me, perhaps hispanic voters in texas are right to sour on republicans on the economy

---

Why don't you compare the entire timeline of that pile of **** you voted for? Not the post election uptick that happened because they were finally out on their f'n ass?

---

it's the same if you compare october 2024 to today. fact of the matter is, the economy is worse on the headline metrics today than it was when trump was elected, largely due to trump's own policies, and it isn't exactly a secret voters are angry with him over it. it's a major reason why this senate race is close and not a slam dunk for the republican candidate.

---

Buddy, no matter how but you dodge my direct question it will be obvious everyone that you're dodging the direct question your cherry picking dates. Everyone here knows that the economy by every measure was worse under Joe Biden, and it was under the first Trump presidency, as well as this one thus far the Trump policies you were referring to the war, and Iran tariffs are long term strategic goals that have a greater purpose than short-term electability. surely you can comprehend a world where leaders I'll be it against their own self interest when it comes to being reelected do things for the greater good hopefully you understand that and hopefully you want leaders who do that. But you're a democrat so I can see why you wouldn't think that way or have any feelings about the long-term success of America. You're talking about a country trying to build a nuclear weapon to murder us all. You're talking about countries that have taken advantage of us for years with their tariff policies and yet you shutter at the idea that one of our presidents would finally have the nerve to push back, knowing what we offer the world in a relative sense.

It's absolutely incredible that you believe these things but again the party that you vote for makes all the sense in the world, considering that you do.

---

there's a lot wrong in your reasoning here, but to address it would derail the thread. to steer this back to the senate race: republicans won the trifecta in 2024 on the backs of voters who wanted a reversal of the economic turbulence they experienced during the pandemic years. trump's policies directly reversed the economic improvement trend he inherited, and that's a major reason why he and his surrogates (paxton included) are currently finding themselves playing defense in what were safe republican seats just two years ago.

---

And yet…once again…you can't support your claim. My reasoning is wrong? No it isn't, champ.

pravda media has ruined debates. They are set ups for non-communists. Democrats that aren't the best orators have already written the playbook and demonstrated that debates aren't required. Katie Hobbs comes to mind. No reason for Paxton's campaign to advise him to let himself be set up for the socialist to get more sound bites of himself walking back everything he ever said before attempting to make himself sound moderate.

Absolutely not doing this again Amy. This is PRECISELY the same result you and Univision got on October 14th 2024.

Furthermore, the Harris campaign insisted upon live "fact checking" of Donald Trump during the debate.

ABC News "fact checked" Trump at least five times and did not fact check Harris once, despite the Democratic candidate telling provable lies, such as the "fine people hoax" and the blo*dbath hoax."

The whistleblower signed the affidavit in New York and has sent a copy to Speaker Mike Johnson, the notarized document states.

The unnamed individual states that he or she is in possession of secret recordings that will prove that ABC News rigged the presidential debate.

ABC News committed election interference. This is a MASSIVE scandal.
