Texas can return to being the foundation of the Republican Party after MAGA loses and an actual Republican can make it out of the TX Republican primary. We’ve all missed the GOP. We just don’t see it anywhere. Breaking the MAGA foundation is the whole point.

Food for thought - TX Rs that would look like they’re firnly in the red column but are objectively not as to Paxton: - George W. Bush — former President - Karl Rove — former senior advisor to President George W. Bush - Dade Phelan — former Texas House Speaker (“There’s not a world in which I can vote for a Ken Paxton.”) - John Cornyn — outgoing U.S. Senator - Betsy Price — former Fort Worth Mayor (Will not vote for Paxton.) - Glenn Rogers — former Texas state rep (“I’ll never trust Ken Paxton, I’ll never support Ken Paxton”; character over party.) - Ed Emmett — former Harris County Judge (Has publicly criticized full-ticket support for Paxton amid ongoing scandals.) - Privately — Almost every elected you know, from both parties, and a ton of Paxton’s former staff. Others founded “Republicans for Talarico” or explicitly endorsed Talarico over Paxton: - Kel Seliger — former Texas state senator and former Amarillo Mayor (Lifelong Republican who endorsed Talarico at an Amarillo event, citing representation of the people over billionaires buying offices.) - David Maxwell — former Director of the Law Enforcement Division under Ken Paxton (Appeared in a Talarico ad; reported Paxton to the FBI as a whistleblower.) - Neil Bush — Son and brother to R Presidents (Publicly indicated support for Talarico.) - Barbara Bush — Daughter and grand-daughter to R Presidents (Publicly indicated support for Talarico.) - James Edge — Bryan City Council member and mayor pro tem; former Texas GOP convention delegate (“I cannot vote for Ken Paxton.”) - Jimmie Don Aycock — former Texas state rep - Steve Bartlett — former Dallas Mayor and former U.S. Rep (“Supporting James Talarico doesn’t change that [I’m a proud Republican].”) - Dorothy Burton — former Duncanville Mayor Pro Tem and City Council member - Ryan Davenport — former GOP convention delegate - Donna Halstead — former Dallas City Council member - Deborah Hankinson — retired Texas Supreme Court Justice - Kimberly Priest Johnson — retired U.S. Magistrate Judge - Susan Lewis King — former Texas state rep (Lack of bipartisan effort.) - Adam Kinzinger — former U.S. Rep - Shane Phelps — former Deputy Attorney General under John Cornyn - Tom Phillips — retired Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice - Bennett Ratliff — former Texas state rep - Jim Richards — former Dallas City Council member - Dale Ross — former Georgetown Mayor - Andrew Sansom — former Executive Director of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department - Todd Smith — former Texas state rep - Lionel Sosa — former campaign adviser to Presidents Reagan, George H.W. Bush, and George W. Bush - Alan Steelman — former U.S. Rep - Glen Whitley — former Tarrant County Judge Now imagine all those TX R politicians who won’t say it, but won’t support Paxton. And their friends. And their friend’s friends. The unknown R voters who can’t/won’t support Paxton - the folks that don’t say it out loud but will vote accordingly.
