Kinda splitting hairs on underperforming the ticket…
Abbott got 54.7% and won by 10.9%
patrick got 53.7% and won by 10.3%
paxton got 53.4% and won by 9.76%… and that needs context as Paxton actually outgained the other two comparing it to prior election.
Paxton just won a statewide midterm race by 10 pts. And that was during the tornado of shit flying around him regarding whistleblower suits and securities fraud.
GOP voters know that statewide voting is a fuckin lock in Tx. If they cared about quality of candidate they wouldn’t have allowed Abbott to steam roll the voucher challengers in house primaries.
9 figures worth of federal funding for i35 cap and stitch through downtown just went buh bye. While it certainly hits blue Austin it impacts the entire state.
On the one hand, generally agree… but the reality is there’s so many vast food deserts across the country, both rural and urban, where the only ‘food’ available is dollar store shit. Approx 40M Americans live in those areas per USDA in 2022
When ever I hear the bleeding vaginas bitch about the propaganda of pbs all I can think of is that cock sucking libtard Tom Silva on this old house pushing transgender rain gutters and that raging Marxist Julia on Americas test kitchen scolding white Americans for appropriating apple pies. Those assholes on my tv deserve to join Roget Cook rotting in hell.
With the population growth of Tx, covid, and border blowup anything prior to 22 is meaningless. The valley shifting right bigly dooms this state and there’s zero reason for me to believe that momentum is slowing down heading into midterms.
