Ken Paxton just keeps doing his best Rafael Cruz impression and running away from anyone who asks him a question…

Greg Abbott pioneered the strategy of just ignoring your actual opponent and scream “The communists are coming to take your guns!” at rallies hosted by your billionaire friends. To date, it’s kinda-sorta worked. Republicans have a stranglehold on the state senate due to gerrymandered districts. All the statewide offices are reliably Republican, year in and year out. And the Republican base loves to see a candidate throwing out red meat far more than a candidate who treats liberal opponents as serious contenders for office.

As long as Talarico doesn’t start talking about taking people’s guns, he’s got this in the bag.

Anyone who thinks Democrats have a statewide office in a bright-red state in the bag because the Republican is ignoring them, is delusional.

You’ll know Paxton is in trouble when he starts crying about the liberal media not giving him enough attention and demanding a dozen debates a week with Talarico straight through election day.
