Republican Party of Texas

There's a lot of people who are not as typically politically plugged in who are very frustrated.

I think that the Texas Republican Party actually wrote a thing about this occurrence earlier this year, which argued that the Texas Republican Party is kind of the future of the Republican Party.

When you look at the types of candidates and the nature of the party, it's highly authoritarian.

It's really corrupt.

Greg Abbott has been in power for a very long time.

There's a lot that people can complain about now at this point when it comes to Greg Abbott, his conduct in office.

So, you know, the Texas Republican Party in some ways is reaping now, I think, some of the consequences of decades of, you know, stranglehold on politics, but also a descent into really far right Trumpian corrupt politics.

And what it gets them is bad candidates and a really fed up electorate.

And anyone that says, well, you should have just nominated Cornyn to hold that seat, I'm not sure the Paxson people would have voted for Cornyn.

I mean, this was a true civil war in the Texas Republican Party.

I've seen multiple reports of investigative journalists coming down here and saying there is this whole wave of Cornynites that are trying to send a message to the Republican Party by voting for Tallarico.

however the democrats and this is pretty general but progressives by nature will take you give them an inch they take a yard so once you start playing that game it's over but here's what's interesting republicans have outspent the democrats 386 million to 158 million basically it's almost two and a half to one if talrico wins anyway this might be the worst ad buy in history Now, three polls say Tallarico by six or seven.

And what you're seeing is yes, the dangers of that, but also the electoral consequences, right? Ken Paxton is a disaster.

And it was used, together with the SOS, or Save Our Springs Alliance, as a method of trying to preserve the springs and the area around it from development.

And the argument was with Freeport McMorrin and the Texas Republican Party.

Freeport McMorrin is based in Louisiana, and it's one of the world's largest mining companies.

It's a pretty cutthroat enterprise.

Now

that he's been appointed SOS when he's appointed, I expected that the state would then stop litigating against the Republican Party of Texas to close the primary, but they didn't.

He said, oh no, I'm the new Secretary of State.

Nothing has changed, right? So Abbott's team is just loaded with these PUC and ERCOT guys, but Okay, fine.

If Cornyn had been the nominee, where would we be now? Would he have a comfortable seven-point lead as all the smart kids seem to think? I don't believe it for a minute.

I've said for months that each candidate... presents challenges in a divided Texas Republican Party.

With Ken, you have what you might call the issues.

With Cornyn, you also have an issue, which is called a ton of conservatives were done with him.

No.

Do they go out and say, we're going to purge him from the Republican Party completely? Has the head of the Texas Republican Party said, we're expelling him.

I want his name.

I want his face erased.
