7. I don't think you understand the primary elections in Texas.

True, you can vote in either primary, but you cannot vote in both. You can vote for ONE candidate in each race on the ballot you choose to vote on. And don't be so certain Paxton won't win. Texans love to vote for crooks. Just look at our track record for the last 30 years. I'm not overlooking anything. I know this state. I was not surprised when it became obvious that TSF was implicated in the Epstein files that those that once screamed so loudly about them would find a way to rationalize TSF's behavior. We are going to have to work our asses off to flip this state no matter TSF's unfavorability.
