Cause otherwise midterms discussion will be scattered around a bunch of separate Culture War thread posts. And it's nice to have more off-the-cuff rapid reactions in a dedicated megathread.
The first thing I've noticed so far: if the exit polls are correct, Americans are very pessimistic about AI.

Nah, Paxton is a great candidate. He would have been the best Senator in DC. The reason Paxton went down in flames is because the NRSC spent $150,000,000 ruining his reputation to defend Cornyn and then when Cornyn lost anyway 65-35 the Texas GOP then went on a tour to make sure Paxton lost by mobilizing "reasonable conservatives" like Karl Rove and George Bush to denounce Paxton and cutting off Paxton from the donor network. The only reason Paxton has money is because of small donors and Elon Musk spending hundreds of millions of dollars.
Cornyn would have lost even worse. This is the GOP sabotaging the GOP candidate. And in this regard, Abbott is hardly innocent, he just didn't realize this sabotage would cost him the Governor's mansion also. Texas GOP voters should be livid, but it shouldn't be at Paxton.
You think Ken Paxton’s adultery, corruption, and partying with fugitives wasn’t going to come out on campaign in the general? You think Ken Paxton’s going on vacation instead of campaigning would have won him thé election if George Bush had been nicer to him?
