“Cornyn might be retire due to a broken heart if Mitch loses.”

Mitch is already pivoting to the left in his effort to beat Grimes. But it won’t gain him any votes. I hope the conservatives in Kentucky leave him twisting in the wind, groping after those moderates and independents that he seems to love so much. But they tend to vote for democrats.

Excluding early votes, Patrick is winning today’s vote 66%-34% over Dewhurst.

“Dewhurst is swirling in the bowl now!”

And Ratcliffe has a good five point lead.

Not impressed with Babin. Especially when he shills his SEAL son for votes. That help decide it for me.

The FR GOP-E trolls are noticeable by their absence on this primary thread.

I’d be happy if Cornyn lost as well and Jeff Sessions, Inhofe, Grassley and Vitter were in leadership.

There is a real possibility of McConnell losing in KY.
KY ain’t Texas.

Ralph Hall is the good guy!


I haven’t personally followed the race, but Breitbart calls Hall’s challenger “Tea-Party backed.”:

“The exception to the potential Tea Party Texas takeover may be the race for the Congressional seat that has been held by Ralph Hall for thirty-six years. According to a report by Reuters, “Congressman Ralph Hall, a 91-year-old lawmaker running for an 18th term, is favored over his Tea Party-backed challenger, John Ratcliffe, a former U.S. Attorney.””

Wow. “Rove’s RINO’s are taking a beating tonight.
Some of them will end up in the political emergency room.

Those GOPe trolls could have used the same math that gave Cruz victory over Dewhurst two years ago.. but they still don’t understand what TEA means. You can’t defeat something you don’t understand.

So... you think being proud of a Navy SEAL son, who is proud of his dad, is worse than running in a district you don't live in?

Do you ever consider character?

The funniest lie Steursand put out was that Babin is against homeschooling...but Babin's daughter was homeschooled!

Ralph Hall is backed by patriot BP agent Compean and RINO Ted Poe.

Ratcliffe boasted of deporting hundreds of illegals in one day. Said the illegals would self-deport if you imprisoned them. Ratcliffe seems to be another Kobach-like candidate from John Ashcroft’s team.

Not much “lessor of two evils” showing up on this thread tonight.

Rove is from Texas. I wonder where Rove is tonight?

I have no idea What Breitbart is talking about because the race I’m watching SD-2 is between RINO Bob Duell and Bob Hall with Hall being the good guy!
