31. I don't see a lot of 'strategic' Republican voters in the state of Texas,

since those Republican primary voters are among the most extremist in the entire country!

They are going to nominate Paxton, and reject Cornyn, although it may go to a run-off....

They'll reject Cornyn because he is "less of a magat" than Paxton---
for one thing, he's never been accused of committing a felony, as far as I know,
and being charged with a felony is a 'badge of honor' for maggot voters!!!


As for the Democratic primary, I now hope that Talarico wins it---
my angry side would like to see Crockett as the Senator from Texas,
but my 'strategic' side would prefer to see Talarico as the party nominee
for that office, ESPECIALLY against Paxton!


(A Democratic Majority in the U.S. Senate is much more important than
the strengths or faults or 'fighting spirit' of any one senator or potential senator...
Now I wish that Crockett had chosen to stay and make a fight to retain her House seat!)
