Bill O’Reilly sounds alarm over GOP’s ‘major problem’ in Texas

BS BULLETIN:

Bill O’Reilly says Republicans have a “major problem” in Texas as Democrat James Talarico threatens GOP Senate nominee Ken Paxton.
Recent polling has shown Talarico running ahead of or even with Paxton in a state Republicans haven’t lost statewide in more than three decades.
Republicans are now pouring tens of millions of dollars into Texas to help Paxton survive.

Bill O’Reilly has looked at the numbers coming out of Texas, and he’s sounding the alarm.

“This is a major problem for the GOP,” O’Reilly wrote Monday as he assessed Republican Ken Paxton’s increasingly uncomfortable U.S. Senate race against Democrat James Talarico.

The problem, according to O’Reilly, is pretty simple: President Donald Trump endorsed Paxton; Trump-backed candidates have overwhelmingly prevailed in Republican primaries this year — and yet Paxton is struggling against Talarico as November approaches. Recent polling has shown Talarico either leading Paxton or locked in a virtual tie. Texas Republicans haven’t lost a statewide election in more than three decades.

O’Reilly did find one reason for conservatives not to head for the bunker just yet.

“Despite the polling, the Republicans are actually getting a break because James Talarico is a nut,” he wrote.

But Republicans clearly aren’t treating Texas like the safe red-state layup it once was.

Trump’s MAGA Inc. super PAC launched a $10 million advertising campaign to boost Paxton earlier this month. Now a group connected to the Senate Leadership Fund has booked more than $51 million in Texas television advertising. That’s an extraordinary amount of political firepower being deployed to defend a Senate seat in Texas.

Paxton has also been badly outraised byTalarico. The Washington Post reported last week that public polling showed Paxton tied or slightly behind his Democratic opponent while trailing him financially by tens of millions of dollars.

Trump himself has jumped directly into the rescue operation. At last week’s Republican midterm convention in Dallas, the president urged supporters to rally behind Paxton and promised to help him win — even while repeatedly ribbing the attorney general from the stage.

“I don’t really like the way he looks,” Trump joked before quickly adding that Paxton “was our greatest attorney general and he deserves to go to the United States Senate.”

Behind the jokes, however, Republicans know what is at stake.

Losing a Senate race in Texas wouldn’t merely cost the GOP one seat. It would be an electoral earthquake in a state that has served as one of the party’s most dependable anchors for decades — and could help determine control of the Senate for the final two years of Trump’s presidency.

This is what happens when you have a useless party, that has no solidarity!
If they lose this seat in Texas, which is a possibility, it will be because of the influx of illegals ( which in Dem run districts will vote for them, which was the main purpose of of open borders), and the growing mass of Islam ( which has teamed up with the Dems to destroy our way of life).
The Democrats have come to embrace Communism, and Islam, because, “ the enemy of my enemy, is my friend!”
The loss of our country is mainly the fault of the Republican Party. No, it isn’t the Democrats! It’s the Republicans, because they have no backbone, don’t stick together, are to engaged in kissing Big Pharma’s, and Israel’s asses! They talk big, but do nothing of value. They put no one in prison, after they get their time in front of cameras, looking tough for their constituents, in their endless committee hearings. When done with these all show dramas, they break, and go back to working with their fellow clowns across the aisle!
So just live your lives, teach your children about whatever is coming, and buy guns, ammo, and food. Stock up. Don’t worry about being in debt! Our monetary unit is close to being worthless anyway!
Europe is gone! The UK is gone! Africa and South America are getting there. Mexico is nothing but corruption! Canada is going fast!
We have no friends! We are alone and going fast!
Never thought I’d see this day, but it’s here.
The Democrats don’t realize it, but working with Islam will be their downfall too! Islam takes no prisoners.
Trump has turned out to be the biggest disappointment I ever witnessed as a president!
RIP America!
