Considering the massive funding Cornyn had to defeat Paxton with ($70 million to $4.1 million) IMO Cornyn had a dismal return on his money, when measuring the small margin of difference between their final numbers. Paxton will go into the runoff as David to Cornyn’s Goliath incentivizing the grass roots to crawl over glass to vote for him.

”An initiative imposing new voter identification requirements in California is one step closer to getting on the ballot.
Roughly 1.35 million signatures were collected during the effort to get the California Voter ID initiative on the Nov. 3 general election ballot. That’s well over the 800,000 signatures that were required. The initiative petitions will now go to the secretary of state to verify the signatures later this week.
The new initiative would require voters to show one of several forms of identification, according to supporters during a press conference on Tuesday morning.
Those who vote by mail would have to write the last four digits of their identification number on their ballot for it to be counted. The numbers would be from a form of identification of the voter’s choice.
State lawmakers who advocated for the measure said the effort has drawn bipartisan support.”
Bravo! A ballot measure I can support!

Much like was done to Trump, the Cornyn faction pulled out all the stops to trash Paxton. Their ads were around the clock, non-stop throwing anything negative they could dig up on Paxton. The only avenue not pursued was Cornyn’s own unremarkable 21 year record in Congress. Not only did Cornyn take great pains to discredit his closest rival, he also went after Wesley Hunt with similar vitriol. When it comes to a runoff who do you think will get the Hunt vote? My bet is on Paxton, as Cornyn has burned bridges with Hunt supporters.

What you don’t get Bitter is that too much muckraking just becomes irritating noise, and more often than not backfires. The “fake” news and lawfare indictments turned off people, helping Trump more than it hurt him. IMO the same will happen to Cornyn, especially as he is seen as an establishment, Bush/McConnell Republican, and Paxton is favored by the enthusiastic grassroots.

I doubt Hunt will endorse Cornyn after the sharp rebuke by the SFL – headed by a close friend to Thune. Hunt also received a respectable chunk of votes – almost 300,000 – a sum you don’t want to patronize or piss off. I listened to a representative for grassroots in Texas this morning, and even if Cornyn won the runoff it is estimated 30% of these voters would not vote for Cornyn.

Scorecard on the polling of the Dem Texas Primary race between the gay guy who wants abortion care for trans people and the nut who lost to him.
Final results was Talarico +6.2
RCP average off because the polling was off, as the final average was Talarico +10
YouGov: Talarico +13 GRADE: F
Emerson: Talarico +5 GRADE: A
Chism/Blueprint: Talarico +12 GRADE: D-
Univ. of Texas/Tyler: Crockett +18 GRADE F
Univ. of Texas: Crockett +12 GRADE F
Earlier polling was too stale for consideration, but many had Crockett ahead. Emerson easily the winner for those who played. Had Talarico +9 in January, and their final poll had the +5.

Chicon, I was thinking about a similar exchange, except I would tell Thune he would have to bring up the SAVE Act for a standing filibuster vote to have Trump endorse Cornyn. However, such a deal would still be throwing Paxton under the bus which I don’t really favor.

The number of times Cornyn has won re-election is not relevant in today’s political climate.

When Trump was a liberal Dem promoting government run healthcare, Dem economic policies, partial birth abortion and just printing money to deal with deficits, while funding Chuck Schumer, Harry Reid, Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood, John Cornyn was a conservative Republican.
And guess what, John Cornyn is STILL a conservative Republican, versus Trump who has been a Republican for the last 5 minutes of his political life and was never and will never be a conservative.
I support Trump and most of his policies, but let’s get real, pretending he is more conservative than John Cornyn is a joke.
