6. Texas was ALREADY skewed GOP

in favor of Republicans. In 2024, Trump got 56% of the votes from Texas. That was actually up from 2016 and 2020 when he got 52%. Even so, the Texas coalition in the House of Representatives has 25 Republicans - already 66%. If it were "fair and balanced" it would be closer to 56%, but want to rig it in the other direction.

Fortunately, Cornyn will have a bloody battle against Douchebag Stinkeye Paxton during the primary. That will eat up a lot of cash for both of them, making it easier for the Democrat to win the general.

As for Greg Abbott, his margin has dropped each time he's been elected, from 20 points to 9. The GOP has done NOTHING to upgrade our grid since the SUPERFREEZE that caused MILLIONS to lose power and killed over 200 Texans, and we're expecting a harsh winter.
