I voted for Ken Paxton in the general, but supported Wesley Hunt in the primary. Does that count?

Cornyn lost because he supported gun control, and this was baked in before Trump endorsed against.

Democrats won't reverse SALT deductions- their own northeastern wing pushes for it.

The blue tribe is unable to maintain its way of life in the face of the red fertility advantage(and this is independent of any political advantage conferred on either team) without destroying the red tribe's ability to propagate, or it will assimilate their children because people want a peer group. We're already starting to see this- pop country(which is what conservative normies listen to) is at the top of the pop charts(and this used to literally never happen), SEC schools have booming enrollment. The blue tribe demand isn't going to be dumber gun laws or more abortions; it's going to be state repression of the red tribe, and the red tribe is the organizing principle of the republican party. A big enough blue trifecta gives us something like PL dominance in Brazil.

Who are mostly middle class chinamen and the like, not actual third worlders.

I don't understand the people who say there's no way Paxton loses in Texas. He's very unpopular and running in a very blue year and this is, yes, a red state- but margins aren't much better than red states that routinely give democrats statewide elections.

Republicans have the larger turnout universes in states like Texas and Kansas and all the other red states.
I definitely wouldn't go assuming that every republican voting in Texas is voting for Ken Paxton. I expect a large split between Abbott and Paxton.

America does not need to, nor does it have an easy path to, ‘import millions of third worlders’ to get lots of new voters. This isn’t Europe; opening the borders gets us Latinos who aren’t that socially conservative in world terms, although they aren’t politically correct either.

You’ve got the electoral math backwards. The squad is baked in; their numbers aren’t changing. The larger thé dem majority, thé less leverage thé squad has, because Jeffries has less need of them.

Among actual red tribers there's a straightforwards age regression- under about forty, and we no longer trust doctors after the virus. Over about forty and you're talking about people who believe a response was necessary but that it was overblown, by lying media as much as by actual medical professionals, and distrust in doctors is more driven by SJ.

The Shadow series might be better for him- Bean is too alien, Peter isn't a child anymore, and it's pretty consistent near-future science fiction with military plots unlike the mainline Ender's game series, which has thematicism that might be a bit much for a ten year old to really get.

The blue slip is a dead letter if Talarico wins.

Jasmine Crockett serves the black political machine in a state where the anti-Zionist movement is almost literally just some kids on a college campus and Talarico's weird far-left views have nothing to do with foreign policy. The black political machine does not like Talarico, because he's a weird far leftist, but Zionism has nothing to do with that, and republican ratfucking prevented their usual influence in the primary because Talarico was seen as an easier candidate to beat.

And this has how much effect on people who don't live in their Jewish welfare ghettos? I've no sympathy for them, but it's not like New Jersey was going to give people a nice tax break instead of just wasting it on some other form of corruption, and it's not like they actually want gentiles in their weird communes.

I suspect we were already going to see something really weird with the black vote in this election.
Ah, but licensing exams are all about math. And while most of the actual math problems are now done via app- or in my case with new, more expensive gages- you do have to understand the relationships represented by them.

This ad is a terrible idea, I wonder if it'll make Rogers's 'he cares more about the west bank than west detroit' attack work better. But I still don't think it's gonna sway the election- Trump has a lower approval rating in Michigan than Macron does in France. El-Sayed continues to be a bad candidate but if that was going to change the outcome then it probably already happened.

It probably wouldn't work today because a) we lack the rigid social controls to stop teenagers from doing this prematurely and b) we would actually care if they got sexually harassed if they did it anyways.

FWIW I think Liberia is racist, and no one cares mostly because no one in their right mind actually wants to live there.

There are cultures with professional matchmakers today, no?
In the mind of Texas conservatives, these two things are reversed. Senators are those people on TV that accept bribes in exchange for not doing anything; the state government is more important to high propensity Texas GOP voters.
