No!

Yet another example of diehard Trumpers doing what Trump tells them and selecting awful candidates to run in these races. It's crazy that the right nominated someone so bad that a leftwing nutter has a very realistic chance of beating him, in Texas of all places.

From what I understand, allegedly Paxton was corrupt and/or impeached on (23) articles by his own party.  I don’t know the details but maybe the Aid had morals. Over 70% of the house was in favor of impeachment. 😱

Was he convicted?

Also had a scare with Beto. I don’t understand what’s wrong with people’s thinking these days. Socialism/Communism is never the way to go.

I hope to see the day that THE true Republican Party returns.

Paxton faced felony securities fraud charges starting with a 2015 state indictment.

In March 2024, Paxton entered into a pretrial diversion agreement to avoid a trial.

Under the deal, he agreed to complete 100 hours of community service, take legal ethics classes, and pay roughly $270,000 in restitution.

After he fulfilled those conditions, a judge officially dismissed the charges in 2025, meaning he was never tried or convicted

He was overwhelmingly elected twice as Attorney General.  These same people will elect him as Senator!

My friend, don't worry, If we get out and vote then I think Paxton wins by at least 10%!

Doubtful.  In my opinion the 8 years of Obama caused/brought about the MAGA years

Not up for debate and pointless for someone who defends all things Trump.  Keep winning!

It would not be a debate, it would be your opinion.....

It is obvious to me you didn't think out your comment or you realize there are none or very little differences.

The fact is, this President is in the Epstein files; that’s not an opinion. This wouldn’t be up for debate under Republicans. MAGA, yes.

MAGA has bigger issues. 9/29/2026

• China policy: 34% approve, 53% disapprove
• Foreign policy: 34% approve, 62% disapprove
• The economy: 31% approve, 65% disapprove
• The situation with Iran: 28% approve, 66% disapprove
• Artificial intelligence: 25% approve, 58% disapprove

 Big difference under MAGA policies. Any other Republican President with failing policies like this 35 days before midterms?
