Talarico campaigning and ads are pretty much like free advertising for Paxton.

Surely the white Talarico supporters in attendance sought a safe space and entered counseling Monday AM after this campaign stop.

Talacreepo's message only appeals to white blue hair nose ring women and the betas trying to sleep with them

His religious message couldn't be more off putting to Hispanics and Blacks if he tried.

Republicans edge out Democrats nationwide in US Senate polling. Paxton v Talarico remains a toss-up with the last poll date of June 30, 2026-- showing both candidates tied at 47%.

Source RCP (dark gray is toss-up, maroon is solid R, red is likely R).

Current trend: 45 D vs 47 R, 8 toss-up seats.

I'm not saying the alternative is better, but if you can't admit Paxton has a slimy past, I don't know what to tell you.

What exactly makes Paxton more slimy than other politicians?

This gets repeated over and over again without specifics.

Google's pretty easy

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was impeached by the state House of Representatives in May 2023 on 20 articles including bribery, abuse of public trust, obstruction of justice, and retaliation against whistleblowers. The charges primarily alleged that Paxton misused his office to protect a political donor, real estate developer Nate Paul, in exchange for personal favors like home renovations and employment for a woman with whom he had an affair. Additionally, he was accused of attempting to impede an ongoing securities fraud case against him.

Are accusations all considered to be proof at this point?

Should we all consider Trump to be a felon since the HOR impeached him?

Lol, you're right guys! He's a good ol boy that never meant to do no harm. Adultery, bribery, etc. don't make him a slime ball.

60 REPUBLICAN Texas house members voted to impeach him.

It's okay to say "Yeah, he's corrupt, but still better than Talarico."


This is a nonsensical statement.

To be clear some house members voted to have a trial, not convict. An impeachment holds no weight.

You do realize that Paxton has been forced to pay over $250k in restitution and perform community service as part of a deal related to securities fraud don't you?

Id say that is a lot more substantial than just accusations l.

Yes, the securities fraud issues have much more meat than the crappy abuse of office hearsay.

Do you know what Paxton allegedly did wrong in the securities fraud case?

you don't think someone failing to disclose their relationship to investors while soliciting funds for a scam company that was shut down for fraud is a big deal?

Securities fraud is a serious issue, and the SEC typically is pretty tough on people that violate the law here.

Also, the SEC doesn't give a rats damn about Texas politics, they have bigger fish to fry. But, if there is a blatant violation of Federal securities law, the SEC generally prosecutes, and has a pretty good track record.

It doesn't seem that what Paxton did was bad enough to be considered securities fraud according to SEC laws and regulations, in my understanding.

So, if what Paxton did wasn't bad enough to be considered securities fraud, why is it so much worse than any other money related political scandal we read about every month? Is it really a bigger deal than what others have been implicated in being a part of? Why?

You're not allowed to ask for specifics. They want to scream "slimy felon" and keep everything generic in the hopes the low IQ voter will stay at home or is a useful enough idiot to actually vote for the Democrat freak.

It was bad enough, hence the reason why he took a plea deal. he didn't pay the restitution and do community service out of the goodness of his heart. It was to avoid trial.

Instead of accepting politicians committing fraud folks should be demanding better.

We can demand better all we want but it's ridiculous to keep harping on this when we're now at the zero sum game portion of the journey. The time to demand better was during the primary and that's over so the focus should be on getting Paxton across the finish line so we don't hand the Democrats a win on their way to communism.

The current administration is buying equity in private companies and your complaining about communism. Wake up it is already here. All of you people who are so quick to abandon your morals and ethics to support your guy is what is leading the downfall. You complain about low-IQ voters but refuse to look at what is right in front of you.

This is all that really matters when November rolls around: Paxton's negatives are light years less than Talarico's negatives and their effects that they will have on my life, my work and my conscious. This argument about Paxton was accused and acquitted of something so bad that certain posters can't bring themselves to vote for him, but yet they just ignore Talarico's own words that tell you what he will do if he were to ever win an election and have power over the people of Texas.

Y'all keep being up his so called crimes which were never convictions. I guess a false preacher doesn't bother you but it bothers me and God. I'm a sinner like Paxton ( no affairs tho) but I am not a false preacher nor do I approve of kids mutilations.

As someone who has actively followed politics ever since Nixon vs JFK in 1960, and been voting since '68, I have come to learn that more often than not, our choice comes down to the lesser of two evils. As such, this particular contest is not even a remotely close call for me.

Well that's not Talarico who absolutely can not be allowed to hold a US Senate seat, especially one from Texas.

So what's the other option?

Just another pathetic lie.

He lied on the View as well. Stating why he missed over 800+ votes in the House was due to him missing votes while breaking quorum. One small problem - no votes occur during a break in quorum. They need to hit him hard on this. Make him explain WHY he missed over 800+ votes.

Too busy with his "church"

If Paxton for some reason ever needs cash to defeat Talarico, he'll get plenty of it.

Not concerning at all that Reid Epstein Hoffman is throwing away his money.

Here's the thing though. The other viable option for this particular office is Talarico. And he's not better.

Looks like just spending time in America changes people - with testosterone. That's Talerico's problem. He projects weakness.

Though it definitely smells, and is not a good look, think about the actual "compensation" that Paxton ultimately received...

In lieu of cash, 100,000 shares of a company selling an obsolete product and is destined to go out of business before an IPO, making said 100,000 shares worth zero.

Then, Paxton ultimately has to pay $300k out of pocket in the end.

If that is indeed corruption, I really don't think it's supposed to work that way.
