It’s getting late early for John Cornyn.

Yet another poll shows the four-term incumbent lagging well behind his hard-right challenger, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, in next year’s primary.
The poll, conducted on behalf of a Paxton-allied super PAC, shows the Texas attorney general with a commanding 19-point lead over the incumbent — 57 to 38 percent — in a head-to-head matchup of Texas Republican primary voters.

It’s the latest data point for national Republicans who see Cornyn flailing with primary voters but worry about the general election prospects for Paxton, who has faced both indictment and impeachment.

The race has increasingly become a topic of worry in Republican circles as operatives dread the prospect of an ugly, expensive primary that could potentially provide an opening for Democrats in the Lone Star State.

Perhaps most remarkable, the poll shows Paxton with higher name ID than Cornyn, who has long been a national figure on Capitol Hill. Eighty-nine percent of primary voters have an opinion of Paxton and 84 percent of Cornyn. Both are viewed positively by the electorate, but Paxton is far more well-liked. His net favorable-unfavorable ratio is 70 to 18 percent, while Cornyn’s is 53 to 30 percent.

Paxton is a crook. Texas deserves him

Texas is striving to do better.

Ripping healthcare from women, indoctrination of children to the Bible, and putting razor wire in the ocean to kill people definitely sounds like they're "striving to do better."

Still early in the campaign down here in the Lone Star State.

Paxson's misogyny has eclipsed the "gold standard" for misogyny of Vetteman.

His deliberate obfuscation of Texas abortion prohibition forces women who are having miscarriages to "dump their load" in a hospital parking lot, as hospitals face losing their licensing for assisting miscarriages now.

His position has enormous appeal to evangelical Christians, who believe people should be "punished" for having sex.
