There is no “deep state.” It’s just two different teams selling fables to their supporters. Russian collusion, Ukrainian quid pro quos, election interference, voter fraud… all just made up nonsense to get their bases motivated to vote. A lot of people pick a side and stay loyal, no matter what.

You add nothing to this forum.

You’ve heard of a tell in poker haven’t you? Again, what you saw with Thune was a big ol’ not so subtle tell. He was admitting Paxton is gonna win. He would not have said anything about a deal to Trump if Paxton was gonna lose. Has Thune ever approached Trump in this manner in any other Senate race? The swamp rats/creatures equals the deep state. Trump hates the deep state. So, first: Trump getting involved in a Republican Senate battle does not sound like him. Second: for him to endorse someone from the deep state doesn’t sound like him either. Personally, I’d like to see Trump stay out of it and let the chips fall where they may. But, if he’s gonna do it it must be Paxton! And these are my opinions!

Like I’ve said — there’s no difference between this clown, AOC and Lil Jazzy Crockett. Dems will vote for anything. Talk about a cult!!

Seriously, this is what represents the democrats? Man, y’all some sick puppies.

Helps that the boys don't have football at either school.

Wild how both of those little towns seems to put out elite boys and girls basketball teams year in and year out

🤦‍♂️What an idiot!

WOW!!

You guys hootin and hollering like you’re part of the team. They won’t even let you in mar a lago! 😭😭

The idea that Paxton is virtuous and all others an are “swamp rats” indicates an unreasonableness that quite simply shouldn’t go without a complete psychological examination. But back on subject. My opinion goes like this. No matter which R candidate is chosen, Trump gets an automatic “yes” vote on everything. He just needs one of them to get elected, but the outcomes for Trump wont change unless Talarico gets elected. I like cornyn’s chances of getting endorsed and nominated better now that he finished first in the primary. BUT Paxton’s AG position brought with it a license to legitimately raise havoc on a statewide and federal level. Paxton’s willingness to pursue baseless claims and loyalty to Trump were invaluable. As AG he could sue anybody, make any outlandish claim, IGNORE ANY CRIMINALITY, etc… as a senator he can do what? Vote yes? Vote no? Sponsor a bill that never sees the floor of the senate? It’s a waste of his experience and lack of principles. That’s why I believe that the backers like Tim Dunn didn’t want Paxton to run for Senator. But I’m not sure where this leaves everybody. Paxton will need a job. Could Trump have him picked to succeed Bondi? Her job expectancy should be measured in minutes, not months at this point. It’s also important to note that the senate is the more refined of the two bodies. You typically don’t have the theatrics that you see in the House. I suspect that the last thing that any of the senators want is Paxton on the scene, being Paxton. Rand Paul is bad enough. Do they want a complete tool who’s willing to do anything and everything to please Trump, no matter what, while effectively lowering the average IQ of the whole body? No. And they might have Trump’s ear on the thing. “Endorse Cornyn and we’ll pass the SAVE Act,” or something like that. It’s too early to tell, but generally speaking Paxton would make a crappy addition to the Senate, while also losing his effectiveness and range as Trump’s lap dog. in my opinion, of course.

I agree

My local gas stations price sign is starting to look like a slot machine with the prices going up daily. Smh

I will vote for Paxton regardless if Trump endorses Cornyn. I would be highly disappointed though if Trump endorse a swamp creature. I personally think Paxton actually has already won it. Historically speaking, when an incumbent barely wins a primary race that incumbent usually loses the runoff. This is why the other swamp creature, Thune, wants to make a deal with Trump to protect Cornyn. Why would it matter to Thune? Thune’s not from Texas. He’s trying to protect his fellow swamp rat. Don’t really seeing Trump play that game. I agree with you, I think Trump will end up endorsing Paxton. Think about this: If Trump agreed to the Thune deal of passing the SAVE act for the endorsement — who says Thune won’t renege on it after Cornyn wins?! One always has to think this might happen. Why? Because that’s what swamp rats do!! 🐀

Let the excuses fly…. No other president of the 21st Century has had this high a percentage of overall approval by supporters of his own party at this point in his presidency, Enten said while explaining why almost all of the primary candidates endorsed by Trump win. Own-party supporters, 21st century presidents’ own-party approval about at this point in a second term: Bush was at 77%, Obama was at 77%. Look at this: 86% of Republicans approve of the job that Donald Trump is doing at this point. [Hidden Content]

Reagan will endorse whoever Trump endorses. MAGAs are bots with no original thought. Look how quickly they flip flop on no new wars, Epstein files, federal debt, etc..

B-b-b-but what about [insert Democrat politician]

You mean.. UNQUALIFIED?

Oh, my… The news today is that Paxton stated that he wouldn’t withdraw from the Senate race if Trump endorsed Cornyn. Trump fired back with “that’s bad… it might make me endorse the other guy (Cornyn).” [Hidden Content] Later this afternoon Paxton somewhat backed off saying that IF the SAVE Act were passed, etc, he would drop out if Trump endorses Cornyn. Let me get this straight. A candidate needs to preemptively agree to drop out of the race if not endorsed by Trump in order to gain the endorsement? That’s bananas. Here’s a question for Reagan, and anybody else that supports Paxton. If Trump endorses Cornyn, will you move your support to Cornyn? Do the voters in Texas get to pick their next senator, or does the President? I think Trump probably prefers Paxton, but also recognizes that Paxton is a liability in the general election. If Trump loses enough senate seats, he might not be able to fight off any of his future impeachments. He needs Cornyn to win against Talarico. But he’s also going to have to find a job for Paxton, since Paxton will be out of a job on 1/1/27. I could also see Trump offering Paxton tbt US AG spot if Bondi goes down. I think Trump is playing games and will endorse Paxton shortly.

I don’t expect everyone to agree with my opinions…..never have, never will. Wars are terrible and everyone agrees with that. Where we sometimes find disagreement is that wars are needed. Diplomacy is great if both sides truly listen. Terrorists, hell bent on our death and destruction, cannot be bargained with or bought. As for the military industrial complex, I think it has kept us from speaking German, Japanese, or not existing at all. The MIC is an expensive necessity. Even the democrats know Iran can’t possess a nuke. They were close to having a missile with the technology to deliver one. Apparently our efforts to take away their nuclear capabilities fell short. Regime change and total obliteration of their military should last a long time. Nothing in life is certain, except death and taxes.

google On March 5, 2026, Donald Trump told Reuters in a phone interview that he "never knew anything about" a $220 million border security advertising campaign featuring Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Reuters The statement followed bipartisan scrutiny over the contract, which was awarded without standard bidding processes to firms connected to the secretary. Reuters Key details regarding this statement include: Contradictory Testimony: While Trump claimed he was unaware of the expenditure, Secretary Noem had previously testified to the House Judiciary Committee that Trump knew about the ad campaign ahead of her spending the money. Cabinet Shake-up: Shortly after the comment to Reuters, Trump announced that Noem would be replaced as Homeland Security Secretary by Senator Markwayne Mullin. Context of Fraud Allegations: The statement was made amidst broader claims by Trump regarding "tremendous fraud" and "wasteful spending" in the government. Admitted to Other Delays: While denying knowledge of this specific, controversial ad spend, Trump previously admitted in 2019 to delaying military aid to Ukraine to push for investigations, although he claimed that delay was unrelated to a quid pro quo. Reuters +4 The Reuters report indicated this was part of a major shake-up of his Cabinet. [Hidden Content]

I respect your opinion but I am just trying to understand the return on investment for the American taxpayer after the U.S. has borrowed over 8 trillion dollars to fight 2 wars and lost over 7,000 Soldiers in the Middle East since 2001 Afghanistan and Iraq. Maybe this operation will bear fruit but that’s yet to be seen. I just hope the new leadership in Iran is not worse than what we took out. They do not value life like Americans do. What happened to America First? What happened to I am your retribution? What happened to accountability? Make America Affordable Again!
