But he's a loyal dog to Trump, just like the guy in Tennessee.
Trump is a typical "JC": no independent thought allowed.

And Texas voters rightly bounced Maureen Galindo, the fruitcake who wanted to open up concentration camps and castrate people.And Texas Democrats sent her packing, in spite of:
Despite that result, there are signs the district could be competitive in the general election, including $1 million in spending from an opaque outside group aimed at boosting Garcia’s opponent, sex therapist Maureen Galindo, despite the controversies dogging her. Punchbowl News reported that the super PAC, Lead Left PAC, had links to a GOP fundraising platform.
House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York and a slew of other national Democratic leaders disavowed Galindo’s “antisemitic” and “dangerous” statements and castigated Republicans, whom they accused of being behind the effort to boost her.https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/dem...

We agree on that one. It’s wrong.
Only now there are a lot more crazy dems to pick from!
There are certainly a few ringers among Democrats.
But have you listened to the field of Republicans? Collectively, they sound like a room-full of telephones.

Ken Paxton: The Pedophiles' Candidate of Choice!
Ken Paxton cheated on his wife (classic MAGA): Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has faced multiple allegations of extramarital affairs, most recently in 2025 when his wife, Texas state Senator Angela Paxton, filed for divorce citing "biblical grounds" following claims of adultery.
Ken Paxton was Impeached by his own party (classic MAGA): In May 2023, the Republican-controlled Texas House voted to impeach Paxton on 20 articles—largely for abusing his office to benefit a political donor.
Ken Paxton was Indicted for multiple felonies (classic MAGA): In 2015, Paxton was indicted on three felony securities fraud charges.
Ken Paxton recently helped a convicted pedophile pal of his get out of prison after serving just 30 days for raping a child. (classic MAGA)
"To say Ken Paxton is ethically challenged is to say Jeffrey Dahmer is suffering from an eating disorder. He is a failure. He doesn’t deserve to be in the U.S. Senate." ~Republican Senator Thom Tillis, North Carolina

Title of This Thread…
Dems send fruitcake packing while Republicans reduce their field to an unelectable crook.
In November, we’ll find out whether Texas voters are willing to return relative honesty and integrity to politics.

Color me skeptical.
My Texas roots are deep and include an ancestor on my mother's side who died at the Alamo (Andrew Kent of the Gonzales Ranging Company). Many of my Texas relatives are Trumpers.
Somehow Trump has thoroughly corrupted the erstwhile "Grand Old Party", the party of Lincoln and turned into anti-democratic, fascist-yearning bunch of fools. Sad.

The trends was in place for a long time. Trump is the next logical step after Bush 43.

Ann Richards is not that distant in Texas memory.
Think Austin, Houston, Dallas/Ft. Worth and San Antonio.
And Texans in rural counties are not exempt from the devastation Trump has unleashed.
Loyal Trumpers can now be categorized in 2 camps-
1. Those who voted for Trump, still love Trump, and will climb barbed wire to vote for his candidates in November.
2. Those who voted for Trump, still love Trump, but are thinking less and less about showing up to vote for his candidates in November… Count a bunch of farmers/ranchers in this group. Color them “disappointed”.
My wife and I are in Oklahoma at the moment, visiting friends.
Same thing goes for Oklahoma as goes for Texas, though residents of both states resent being lumped together on just about anything.

Texans are getting tired of falling for the right’s appeal to fake masculinity
That’s why the race is a tossup.
