Gather round the campfire boys and girls; I'm going to tell a scary ghost story! It's about a Senate candidate who disappeared suddenly without a trace.

James Talarico is fading while Paxton is rising and the God is nonbinary candidate seems to be hurting from his disappearing act as the public knows they aren't being told the truth.

You can lie to the public but you can't lie after ignoring them. Talimebananarico disappeared for weeks without telling the public he was out or why then comes back with a lame story about having the flu. He could have at least issued a public statement but nothing. If he was too sick to campaign the public would have understood, but not his just ghosting the good people of Texas. That is disrespectful and dishonest. If he's pulling this kind of thing now what will he do when he's in office? Right now he's asking the public to elect him.

I always thought Paxton would surge anyway. As the people of Texas learned just what a complete radical this guy is they would decide he was not for the Lone Star State. Texas takes their God and their guns seriously. Talabanrico does neither.

The article states:

The polls, for the first time in months, have Ken Paxton in the lead. The Quantus Insights poll is widely considered to be the most accurate, for what that’s worth. (It was the only poll to get 2024 right.) Quantus has Paxton at 47.2 to Talarico’s 46.7. A half a point does not seem earth-shattering, but you also have to throw in the GOP correction that nobody likes to talk about, which in previous elections has ranged from 3 to 5% (Current research now states that it has reached 6.2%.) YouTube poll Election Time gives an impressive total of Paxton at 55.1% against 44.9% for the Boy Wonder. Realistic? Maybe not. But the real importance of polls is to show you where the wind is blowing, and right now, it’s gale force against Little Jimmy.

And Paxton keeps talking about this. Talarico ghosted the public and showed disdain for the voters. If he can't be bothered to keep them informed why would he bother to listen to them after he's in office?

Elected officials are PUBLIC servants; it is their job to keep the public informed.

Even if 'RICO brings the receipts he can't change the fact that his campaign could have brought the receipts when he was out. Everyone would have understood. He didn't have to personally do it. But his campaign dropped the ball, and probably because they feared the real story getting out worse than what is happening now.

So, unless the RINO wing of the GOP steps in to cost Paxton, we will probably retain this seat. Hopefully a lot of others.

As an aside I would like to point out that there is vast sums of money being pumped into Missouri right now in opposition to an abortion ban and transgendering ban on our ballot; every commercial break on television has at least one commercial against it and often two. They are also running lots of commercials about redistricting, trying to get the public to save Emmanuel Cleaver from the cleaver. The only reason Cleaver has had a seat is because of the rule where minorities had to be given their own, special districts, the rule the Supreme Court recently overruled. SCOTUS refused to hear Missouri's appeal (despite the fact our state constitution forbids a referendum over redistricting) until after we had a vote on it. My question is, where is the money coming from? There are no commercials competing with these. And if we are being inundated is the rest of the country? Someone is spending a LOT of money, and in times past I would say they were tapping into taxpayer dollars. They still might be.
