NBC is clutching their pearls as Texas AG Ken Paxton celebrates dozens of victories for his endorsed state candidates who primaried Bush-supported Republicans. Additionally, his endorsements and support for the challengers in Texas has led to an additional ten runoff elections, including the potential removal of Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan who led impeachment proceedings against him. The media uses terms like “revenge” and “anger,” however, most of the MAGA coalition smile and think of Paxton as the leading candidate to be nominated by President Trump for U.S Attorney General next year. Yeah, this article is buckets of awesome.

I'm with it! Vengeance is mine says the Lord, but He often uses people AND elections as instruments.

Good. Best revenge would be for Trump to name Paxton US Attorney General!

Whenever a wrong is righted some will feel vindicated, some will feel they have been the victim of revenge. However, people must be held accountable for their actions and there is nothing wrong with that. In fact, we could use more of it in this country.

The forces of PACs fighting over candidates is the hallmark of the March 5th primary in Texas. Various factions were at war with each other, picking and choosing to support and "endorse" candidates base solely upon whether or not they represented certain positions or not based on pro or con positions they hoped candidates would carry water for in the next Legislature.
There were the Paxton supporting PACs who seemingly were ONLY concerned with getting even with those in the Texas House who had voted to allow an investigation into AG Paxton in an impeachment inquiry. The who thing was not done with due process as had been previously done, and appeared to be a "hit job" by Lt. Governor Dan Patrick.
Paxton candidates were often opposed by those 'endorsed' by Lt. Governor Patrick, Governor Abbott 'endorsed' candidates who supported the idea of the school taxes paid allowing parents to pick the best school for their children to attend where the money paid followed the student. Various PAC tied to those attempting to infiltrate the Republican Party of Texas at the local level to upend local control of the political landscape attempted to pait certain candidates as "members of the Austin SWAMP" or Nikki supporters. Those supporting the notion of Texas seceeding from the United States also supported certain candidates hoping to make them lackeys for their cause as opposed to looking at a broad range of issues not so narrowly focused.
Various mailers flooded mailboxes from DUBIOUS political groups MASQUERADING as some sort of legitimate organization to lend support to THEIR candidates and slam others.
One such group was the "Trump Texas" group who did the most mud slinging with spurrious charges. President Trump personally endorsed only a very FEW candidates, one of them being David Covey against Speaker Dad Phelan who put demonrats into committee Chairmanships who blocked issues in committee or never let them come to the calendars committee for discussion and voting.
Do not be deceived by these "shadow groups" using President Trump's name and image to confuse the voter!

The Bushies are not republicans. They are one world government globalists. I hope they live to see their policies and beliefs end up in the septic tank of history. I'm sorry to say I voted for both of them. Had the democrats put up someone who wasn't a corrupt socialist, there may have been a better choice.

Ah, politics Texas style! The ghost of LBJ arises. LBJ was utterly ruthless and didn't take prisoners or provide aid and comfort to the enemy (Both Dem and Rebublican). Some might call it 'frontier justice'. Love that one Rebublican has come out fighting and has a plan for the shape of Texas legislature and judiciary. Be nice to see a vision like that by the RINOs herding in DC

Mr Paxton. Please do not get our hopes up. Do not telegraph your punches. Simply do it and we'll congratulate/celebrate you once its done.

I support Paxton's efforts to rid us of the Rino's. The Phelan Speaker of the House is in a runoff for his seat. I hope he is defeated.

Yes #9 but bottom line, the wind beneath our Paxton’s political wings is the awesome power of Trump’s leadership and MAGA. It makes a difference. Paxton has power AMMO to fight Bush-Rove Uniparty globalist money based in Texas. It’s the first time their money CANNOT overwhelm what conservative active base of the GOP is demanding. Every other time, the Texas GOP power structure hates conservatives whilst taking our donations and making empty campaign promises.
I would not call what is happening with Texas politics now revenge by Paxton. I call it the Bush-Rove globalists posing as Texas-loving conservatives ruse coming to an end ! It’s a well-deserved end!

Well, let's hope that he can pull it off. Lawfare can run both ways.
