Republicans Want to Make the Texas Senate Race About Manliness

The GOP definition of manliness makes for very brittle men. I’ll take the man who has compassion on my team any day over their weak-ass definition of man. People with compassion fight and don’t run when hit. They will do the hard things.

From your mouth to God’s ear. That said, no one ever went broke betting Texas will support any crooked scum with an “R” next to his name.

Waiting for the MM. I did my wandering my favorite sites and found an interesting link. I think your comment on smiting the swarthies might be all the boost he needs.

Texas is less than 40% non-Hispanic white.

And from March 2024 to March 2026, total non-suspense voter registrations have increased by just under 1.6 million.

And pound that message day and night before Republicans do what they do best - branding their opponents. Make it about Paxton before they make it about Talarico. It makes me feel confident when Talarico actually calls Paxton a “crook.” Keep it coming. Paxton has enough documented baggage to ride through November.

Non-suspense?

If Talarico prevails, it will be by the skin of his teeth.

I view the race as tied, with the margin to be determined by turnout (which includes persuasion as a subset thereof).

Bizarre wording. Not just accused, but falsely accused. Did not realize a dietary preference could rise to the level of a crime, a misdemeanour even. Next thing you know, if you wear a blue tie and have a (D) after your name, the DOJ will come for you.

Paxton wins by 3% points. It’s Texas. Don’t waste your money on a lost cause.

A win is a win, and of course I hope Texas voters wake up.

Suspense means they’re registered, but have been given notice that they need to reaffirm their registration before the next election and they’re at risk of becoming unregistered if they don’t do so. Nothing nefarious. It happens because people die, move, or just stop voting for a few cycles in a row. I use the non-suspense registration figures because most on the suspense list are pretty unlikely to be showing up to vote. The delta is something like 1.5 million.

Fuck yeah! Get on board or get the hell out of the way.

You’re gonna like how that electoral math works when we flip this sucker.

they need billboards with this fact on every highway - I mean, girls are there to rape, they probably secretly wanted it - but even the incels and Promisekeepers don’t like to think about boys being raped

Manliness? This guy looks like a day drunk in every photo. Maybe he can’t help the fact that he is one very homely guy but it sure looks self inflicted to me.

I’m pretty sure it’s all they think about.

I suppose that the affair could be dismissed as mere “manliness signaling”?

Certainly a guy who is serious about enforcing the display of the 10 Commandments in public schools can be forgiven for breaking 3 or 4 if the state is saved from having an unmanly Senator?

‘Manliness’'??? The RNC honestly ‘thinks’ a serial cheater, liar, grifter and all round corrupt mofo is ‘manly’? Really?
