The no-win Texas Senate race
In November, Texans will go to the polls to choose their new junior senator. This choice comes down to one of the most corrupt and morally repugnant politicians in recent memory and a full-blown heretic. A scandal-plagued liability masquerading as an anti-establishment freedom fighter versus a far-left progressive culture warrior cosplaying as a theologian.
TL;DR
- Texans will choose their next junior senator in November.
- The choice is between Ken Paxton, accused of corruption and impeached by the Texas House, and James Talarico, a progressive Christian criticized for his theological views.
- Ken Paxton defeated incumbent Sen. John Cornyn in the GOP primary, partly due to Cornyn's vote for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act.
- Paxton faces allegations of misusing his office and having an extramarital affair.
- Talarico's theological statements, such as describing God as "nonbinary" and linking the Virgin Mary's consent to abortion rights, are criticized as heretical.
- The article suggests that Rep. Wesley Hunt (GOP) and Rep. Jasmine Crockett (Democrat) would have been better options.
- The author quotes H.L. Mencken on democracy, implying Texans will face negative consequences regardless of the outcome.
