Yeah. He's squeaky clean. LMAO

Politically appointed Justice Department leadership was not involved in the decision, which was recommended by a senior career official who had concerns about prosecutors' ability to secure a conviction, according to another person briefed on the matter. Political appointees are not typically involved in public integrity section matters to avoid the appearance of political interference.

The Texas GOP isn't "giving" us anybody.
There was an open, free and fair election. There were other candidates and the people voted for Paxton.
There was even a runoff after that, and the people voted for Paxton.
He may not have been your choice, but he is clearly the choice of the Republican voters in Texas.

No, he didn't.
You can dislike Cornyn all you want. But, don't make up *****..
He is a conservative but a VERY mushy MAGA.
However, he wasn't trying to kill 70% (or anything NEAR that percent) of the Trump priorities...

Obamacare - torched
Border wall - tried like hell to torch
Big Beautiful Bull - tried to torch
Save Act - torched
Jan 6 - stood with Cheney behind the scenes but when forced to vote, he voted as he was forced to
I DGAF about some stupid procedural crap that doesn't matter and I don't care about symbolic votes he makes so he can claim that 90% crap.
He fought against almost all of Trump's major policies He openly said Trump should go because, like these ****eads did with the Tea Party, he wants the unioarty to win. He fought against Trump because he's a power hungry slime ball.
And most conservatives in Texas know this. See the boooooooooing event.

John Cornyn, the self-proclaimed "conservative" Senator from Texas, has spent his career systematically dismantling the 2nd Amendment rights of law-abiding Americans. His 2017 FIX-NICS disaster ballooned the flawed Gun Ban Registry by 90% to 33 million entries, where over 95% of denials are false positivesscrewing over innocent gun owners with garbage data. Worse, 250,000 veterans got their rights stripped without due process, a betrayal Cornyn shrugs off.
Then there's his 2022 Bipartisan Safer Communities Act lovechild with Democrat Chris Murphypraised by Joe Biden, no less. Cornyn funneled $1.4 billion into gun control, including $750 million for red flag laws to snatch guns without a fight, with Texas pocketing at least $12 million. The ATF's emboldened overreach? Thank Cornyn for their "dealer in firearms" rule, choking out private transfers and gunsmithing, forcing every transaction into NICS.
As Texas AG, his Texas Exile fetish pushed harsh penalties on gun owners, and in 2018, he scaled that obsession nationally with a $150 million taxpayer-funded boondoggle. He's backed sneaky "No Fly, No Buy" schemesdue process be damnedand even voted to confirm 2A foes like Hillary Clinton and Merrick Garland. When gun owners called him out, Cornyn smirked, banking on his entrenched politician privilege. Some "defender" of Texas values.

Never said he was and I don't care if he was or not. That's what you don't get....he was not convicted in a court of law and he is good at fighting democrats. THATS ALL WE CARE ABOUT

Terrell County Sheriff Thaddeus Cleveland (a Republican) endorses Talarico:
Quote:
Last month, Attorney General Ken Paxton waded into the explosive college football saga involving Brendan Sorsby, the Texas Tech University quarterback who had admitted to placing thousands of improper sports bets, including on his own team's games, resulting in the NCAA declaring him ineligible to play.
In a June 11 letter, Paxton's office warned the Big 12 Conference on behalf of Texas Tech that any move to sanction the university for fielding Sorsby would be "unlawful" and potentially expose it to $200 million in damages.
One day before he sent that letter, Texas Tech Board of Regents Chair Cody Campbell, one of Sorsby's most public defenders, donated $274,300 to a fundraising committee supporting Paxton in his bid for U.S. Senate, according to campaign finance records newly filed with the Federal Election Committee Wednesday.

For background, he's a loud mouth sheriff in the county west of Del Rio's Val Verde County who weighed in on Biden's terrible immigration policies. He also endorsed Tony Gonzales over AKGuy in 2024.

And Cornyn would be just like Mitch and the others who kiss the democrats toes
Meh...
Cornyn voted something like 96% with Trump.
Paxton will probably vote 99.9% with Trump.
If Paxton loses, Texas will have a senator who votes 0% with Trump.
The primary voters should have picked HUNT if they wanted an easily electable, very conservative candidate that wasn't Cornyn, who would ALSO vote probably 99.1% with Trump.
When you are in leadership roles like Cornyn, it is less important to look at how often he "voted with Trump" and more important to look at how many times he made sure that legislation he disagreed with Trump on never came up for a vote in the first place. And yes, I think Hunt would have been better and voted for him in the primary. But given the runoff choice between Cornyn and Paxton, Paxton was the only reasonable choice. If Paxton loses to Talarico, it won't be because of some burst of democratic enthusiasm, it will be because butthurt Cornyn supporters decide to stay home.
Yeah...
There's no chance that some Republicans really dislike Paxton because of his baggage. Or that independents think the same way. It's ONLY butthurt Cornyn supporters...
