Donald Trump MUST be REALLY Worried about Ken Paxton LOSING in Texas. and the LOSS of the Republican led Congress that has allowed him to ‘Get OVER’ …
In the Texas US Senate race which does look like a Republican Paxton Loss?
He’s resorted to throwing at Democratic Texas State Rep. James Talarico , in his typical manner….
(His time on stage in San Antonio , Texas had the sound of protestors in the background)
He also resorted to ‘fear mongering’ to crowds about what HE can make uphold happen if Democrats have a good Midterm voter turnout and grab Congress , moving to counter his almost EVERY Move…
Digging in to defend both his pride and his political fortunes, President Donald Trump on Wednesday returned to deep-red Texas to rally for Ken Paxton’s Senate bid, while revealing at times his own trepidation that one of the Republican Party’s longest winning streaks may be about to end on his watch.

In the state with the longest border with Mexico, Trump repeatedly turned to amping up fears over an increase in illegal immigration, connecting it to the prospects of Democrats gaining power in Washington.
“If they get in, they will open your borders and let the entire world pour in like they did before. We can’t let that happen,” Trump said. “A vote for Talafreako is a vote to turn Texas into a dirty, failing, crime-ridden third-world dumping ground.”
The San Antonio rally was the latest sign of Trump’s effort to maximize his base’s turnout amid his slumping poll numbers. Multiple surveys now show almost two-thirds of Americans disapprove of how Trump is doing his job….

Notably absent from Wednesday’s rally: GOP Gov. Greg Abbott, who is in an expectedly tight re-election bid on the same ballot as Paxton.
