Republican who ranked many, MANY levels below "COMPLETE D-BAG" loses TX primary by double digits. Womp Womp.

[Miles Archer]

Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) lost his primary race to state Rep. Steve Toth by a double-digit margin on Tuesday. Toth was supported by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and the Trump-aligned Turning Point Action, according to The Texas Tribune.Trump had refused to endorse Crenshaw's re-election after the lawmaker failed to go along with Trump's lie that he won the 2020 general election.

Crenshaw is the only House Republican that Trump has not endorsed for re-election, The Tribune reported.

MAGA figures celebrated Crenshaw's loss on social media.

"Crenshaw has been in a NON-STOP spiral in the past year, threatening to KlLL Tucker Carlson, and even being banned from Congressional trips for a period due to allegedly drunkenly harassing foreign counterparts," MAGA pundit Nick Sortor posted on X. "Enjoy unemployment, Crenshaw!"

1. it's not like what is left is any better

Texas repukes are all vile pieces of Trump humping SHIT

3. Texas isn't going to turn around in the Midterms, or 2028

I can't predict when (or if) it will.

I lived there for a month and a half in 2013 and got the hell out as soon as I realized it wasn't for me. It was like being on another planet. And I do know musicians from Austin who are some of the coolest people you'd ever want to meet, but I wasn't living in Austin. I was about 250 miles away. There was a uniform sort of formality...like "Minnesota Nice," but it seemed more scripted than genuine, more of an ingrained cultural habit than people actually being genuinely courteous and respectful. You'd reach an agreement with someone and then immediately after that they'd stop taking your phone calls. That's just scratching the service. Like I said...life on another planet.

But I look at it this way. A loss for someone like Crenshaw in Texas bodes well for other states that aren't so deeply entrenched in the Trump / MAGAt bullshit.

Deep Red ain't gonna turn Deep Blue overnight.

But it's a start. I'll take the small victories along with the large ones.

8. "...it

The sort of people whose grandparents always put on their Sunday best for a public hanging.

2. Reportedly the a'hole that beat him is far worse. At least Crenshaw was not an election denier...

Given that is the only positive thing I can say for him... Still.

4. Amazing how these people choose the hill they're gonna die on

Trump, being transactional, would cease to acknowledge the existence of anyone who didn't buy into his "big lie." Sounds like that's exactly what he did with Crenshaw.

5. If Trump's candidate won, why the "Womp Womp" ?

I don't get it

[dpibel]

7. It's very, very complicated

It's almost as if it requires a measure of negative capability.

Give it your best!

6. Does he want to switch parties for the rest of 2026

Or drop out? Just walk away and stop voting?

[Initech]

9. Seriously, vote against every candidate approved by TPUSA.

Fuck TPUSA to hell.

[MichMan]

10. How many Democrats are endorsed by TPUSA?

I'm guessing none

[calimary]

11. This voter was gonna do that, anyway.

[JI7]

12. Not sure this is a good thing. I'm not familiar with the other candidate but Crenshaw is probably the more "decent" of

Republicans these days. MAGA hates him and they view him as a liberal. So whatever replaces him is going to be worse.

Not that he was great but this is in comparison to what will take his place.

13. Trump has a strong dislike for wounded warriors.

They remind him of his much reported draft dodging efforts.
