She’s going for her sixth.
I guess the insider trading is too hard to resist.

Anecdotal evidence but my center right TX friends HATE Paxton. I think they are fed up with Republicans in general right now, but if Paxton is on the ticket they will for sure go vote against him.
Further anecdotal evidence but two guys I went to HS with in very deep red West Texas have both recently posted on social media about Christian values in response to some of the immigration actions and the racist Obama post by Trump. They are both pastors - one is the son of the former pastor of the First Baptist Church in my hometown. These are not liberal people, but I think they would vote for a James Talarico.
I don't think Crockett is the candidate Texas Dems need right now. I don't think she can win.
Trump could be actively molesting their grandkids in front of them and white Texans still wouldn’t vote for the uppity black lady. They are in a cult.

I agree with you and am annoyed that she’s giving up her House seat where she’s fabulous for this boondoggle. Early voting starts in just days and she only just put up the issues page of her website.
Even Greg Abbott is in a statistical tie with Gina Hinojosa right now, you’re correct about the current fedupedness of Texans.

This is in addition to Senator Collins's campaign and several other SuperPACs supporting her. SLF's executive director said “Collins is the only Republican candidate that can win Maine. She is critical to maintaining the Senate majority and we will be there for her."
$40mn just for Maine? Uh oh. Let’s hope the fundamentals there have changed and this ends up being $40mn the GOP tosses down the drain.
ICE has just been deployed to Maine.
Trump making a contribution to the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. How nice of him.
I hope so. Susan Collins, despite being useless, seems to have nine lives.
Collins has made it official, she's running again. Let's hope she's used up all of her nine lives.
