Our Lone Star story of the day: Conservative hating, disgraced former Speaker of the Texas House, Dade Phelan, admits in an interview with Leftist Texas Monthly what the real game is: The insider anti-conservative crowd hopes a big Texas loss for Republicans will steer the party away from conservatism and back into the hands of the insider class. This is despicable but not new. It is the same argument I heard while in the room with these types back in the 1980’s and 1990’s.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Texas Department of Public Safety messed up on forwarding voter registrations and it’s making publicity. It should not happen again and should not affect voters for the November election but it is of concern.

Items from the campaign stack:

• “Anti-Corruption Lawyer” Running for Texas House Advertises Corruption Defense Services – the kind of stuff you can’t make up and makes it “silly season!” What a fake.
• Texas House Candidate Tells DSA He Needs to Hide His Socialist Affiliation – more of the same: Hide the revolutionary radicalism until one gets in power.
• Talarico Pastor Says Evangelical Christians Aren’t Smart – and says some worse things about actual Christians who believe in God’s Word. It sort of shows you how nasty are these folk who claim to be all love and acceptance. Clearly it’s a case of making the Enlightenment’s “rationalism” into a false God.
• Quorum Report: Patrick tells supporters that some of his senators and GOP candidates for Texas Senate are trailing democrats, per sources. Many locals tried to tell folks that Wambsgamss is a great conservative backer but not a good retail candidate in SD9.

Our Lone Star story of the day: A big development out of a federal court jury trial over how Flock-style surveillance cameras have been used in Texas to violate fundamental constitutional rights of Texans. Don’t by the P.R. campaigns of your local police departments, helped along by Flock and others no doubt, that ignore basic problems with these cameras. And, if they tell you they are solely license plate readers you know they are lying to you.

Our Lone Star story of the day: Paxton’s internal polling shows him still in the lead but it being very close. This matches other sources on internal polling that I have heard from. This is, as I’ve said for years, a 2- to 4-point Republican margin state. Republicans will lose however, if, and only if, they do not show up to vote in big numbers.

Media is exaggerating comments by Paxton, and seemingly planted in the press by an establishment/Cornyn operative, about Trump’s drag on the ticket. Things are what they are, Trump is at has lowest approval at present and the $4 plus gasoline is hurting the GOP everywhere. It’s more than eating into the GOP’s structural advantage in Texas.

Our Lone Star story of the day: News from the campaign trail in the race for Texas governor and from the U.S. Senate race.

• Paxton raised $18M in 3rd quarter in tight Texas Senate race but Talarico still ahead in fundraising
• Super Bowl Champion Bryce Huff Backs Ken Paxton For U.S. Senate – moved his business here because of the GOP created Texas Miracle.
