Problem is, Cornyn sells well. I don't see Paxton doing anything competitive with this....

I have a two word answer: Eric Cantor
If you looked at Cantor's campaign, he was a shoe-in. But the polling in Texas suggests that, like Cantor, the voters have recognized that Cornyn doesn't represent them but represents lobbyists, Democrats and the Washington Elite.

Cornyn represents Cornyn

I did read in the news this morning that the gap between Paxton and Cornyn is narrowing. Cornyn's lead is down to about 5%. I suspect Paxton could pull ahead of Cornyn if he'd spiff up his marketing and public image.

It seems that Paxton has the potential to beat Cornyn in the primary, but is likely to lose the general election. Paxton is too far to the right for a lot of voters. For that reason, I'm playing the long game and voting for Cornyn.

Paxton is an extremist who uses Christianity to promote his own power and yet does not reflect Christian values. Too much smoke, and I don't care for how he treated his wife. I'm for Cornyn.

I'm not for Cornyn at all. He's just another democrat. Time will tell.

If Paxton is the best the Texas Republican party has to put forth, then that explains why the party is so weak in spite of being the majority.

Senator Nugent has a nice ring. Does he still have his Texas ranch?

Given the other options, if he ran he would get my vote and probably a lot of others like me.

I saw a news headline this morning indicating that Ken and Angela Paxton may have committed real estate fraud.
This link from July says much the same thing. It seems they may have listed 3 different homes as their primary residence.

If true, they can occupy the cell next to all the Dems who are getting caught doing it.
