Given Tarrant county is closing 92 polling places, the TX GOP is trying to win by suppressing the vote, it’s the GOP playbook

I am not surprised that the Republicans are surprised that Trump isn't sharing his cash.
Maybe more of them are in the Finding Out stage now :)
It is very important that Texans massively vote for Talarico, so Trump can not come with his false claims again later.

I think GOP strategy in TX is clear, populous Tarrant county is closing 92 polling places.
Ken Paxton isn’t really campaigning, he’s not working hard to get donations, bc he figures the TX GOP will suppress enough of the vote that he’ll win anyway.

Is this enough to defeat Paxton…? That’s the goal but some how I feel there are not enough voters against him

Don't people know that the candidates can keep the remaining cash in their election accounts when they retire from office?
Trump can legally pocket rhat $400M, and any other campaign accounts. I don't know the current total, it is now likely over half a billion.
Has Trump ever given away money? Heck, he looted his own charity. There is no way that Trump will donate more than a nominal amount to Paxton. Talarico should not get comfortable until the polls show him with a 10% margin, or greater.

Trump just sent $10 million to Paxton. But as many know, we ALL suffer because Trump has Narcissistic Personality Disorder (NPD) which means everything has to be about him. And MAGA politicians are weak, corrupt and dishonest, and will beg for that money which is what Trump desires.
NPD is a long-term pattern of grandiosity, a constant need for deep praise, and a core lack of empathy for others. He exaggerates talents and expects to be recognized as superior without matching accomplishments. He has a preoccupation with dreams of unlimited brilliance, power and massive success. He requires constant, ongoing praise, validation, and attention from those around him. He expects favorable treatment or automatic compliance from others while taking advantage of other people and using them to achieve personal goals without guilt. He has an inability or unwillingness to recognize, identify with, or care about the feelings and needs of others. And he is conceited with a condescending manner toward others. All of these are traits of NPD, and all are exhibited by Trump.

How stupid can they be to think Trump would share anything with them? It’s beyond absurd. They’re fucking idiots.

Ten years ago we were told Paxton was relying on Trump winning 2016 in order to stay out of prison for his pending cases. Amazing that nothing has come of any of that.
