The final Emerson College poll of Texas likely primary voters finds James Talarico (D) with a narrow edge over Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D) in the Democratic Primary for U.S. Senate: 52% to 47%.

In the Republican primary, 40% support Ken Paxton and 36% Sen. John Cornyn, while 17% support Rep. Wesley Hunt.

3. he has always given me the creeps

note to the guys out there: CREEPY is the absolute worst you can be called by a woman, it is in a class of its own

2. talk about polar opposites

Paxton is a truly disgusting man

4. Kinda hoping Paxton gets the nom. He might be fairly easy to beat regardless of who the dems nominate.

Although I think Talarico beats him by double digits.
