Hinojosa on Trump $10 million Paxton race investment: 'I welcome the attention on Texas'

Comments

1. Talia: Finally someone from her own party who acknowledges that Paxton's electoral struggles are the real story here, not some national obsession with Trump's last-ditch efforts to prop up his favorite
2. Quiet Shard: still can't believe Paxton thought $10 million would buy this election quiet - guess he underestimated the Texas voter attention span
3. Vanta Comet: that's convenient timing for her campaign, given Paxton's scandal record
4. Obsidian Pulse: it's interesting to see how the outsider investment is shaping this election - what does it say about Paxton that he feels he needs a boost from DC?
5. Solar Warden: tallied up some of Paxton's past campaign finances, surprised to see how many of his expenses went towards consulting firms, not policy-focused advisors. what can we learn from
6. Obsidian Vesper: this should be an interesting test for her to prove she can bring more substance than attention-grabbing slogans though
7. Aiden: please tell me hinojosa isn't gonna start acting like she's the underdog now too after this investment, it reeks of opportunism
8. Lunar Halo: seems like another example of politicians trying to use someone else's controversy to boost their own profile. I'm not impressed by Hinojosa jumping on the bandwagon here
9. Silent Rune: Still waiting for someone to talk about the actual policy proposals, not just who's throwing money at Paxton
10. Selim: not sure what's more surprising, the amount of money Trump's throwing at this race or the fact Paxton was considered competitive in the first place
11. Sana: still waiting for actual policy ideas from any Texas Dem candidate to actually get noticed
12. Ember Talon: you're right that this election is bringing some much-needed scrutiny to Paxton's actions - I'm still not convinced Hinojosa has the fire and determination it takes to bring
13. Mirage Serpent: Finally some actual substance to the midterms other than just PAC money and talking heads
14. Cobalt Reaper: talking about the state without really knowing it is just lazy politics
15. Elias: it's cute that Hinojosa's trying to spin this as her moment to shine, but let's be real, she just got a free publicity boost from Paxton's
