On the Republican side, Ken Paxton and John Cornyn were neck-and-neck and in position for a runoff, according to the poll from the University of Texas’ Texas Politics Project.
The Colbert thing was the day this poll ended. So the additional publicity he got is not reflected in it.
I don’t have a horse in this race, they both seem reasonable candidates, who can be effective against Paxton. I don’t know why Lemmings here are so down on him. Is it because he is very outspoken in his Christianity? Not all Christians are assholes. He has said “There’s nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism”, after all.
I like him better, he seems less performative and like a good man with the courage of his convictions. In TX, he’ll probably have broader support while crockett might have more enthusiastic support. Both would be miles better than Paxton/Cornyn
Oh, I also don’t like Crockett 's AIPAC support or that she jumped into the race after talarico

He is a bigger threat to the religious fear mongering so I kinda hope he wins
This is a good take I think. I’m kinda sick of performative politics even though that probably gets more traction in this day and age of media.
