A Tuesday tally by AdImpact shows that soon-to-be-former Texas Senator John Cornyn and his allies spent a grand total $92 million on campaign ads in his doomed effort to defeat deeply corrupt Picasso-faced Attorney General Ken Paxton in the two-round primary election, only to lose to Pax 63.8 to 26.2 percent. The 27.6 percent delta is slightly larger than the 35.92 percent by which George P Bush lost to Paxton in the 2022 AG primary runoff and for considerably less money.
Cornyn won a grand total of two of Texas’s 254 counties: Tarrant, home to the state Capital of Austin, was Cornyn country by 5.4 percent or 22,475 to 20,145. As was Kenedy County, population 650 and a desolate stretch of Gulf Coast two counties away from Mexico. Cornyn won 6 votes to 2.
