- It is infinitely more likely that the stress of the campaign trail, opportunities to cheat, and competing demands of their separate ambitions would bring a couple to the brink of divorce than... this suggestion.
- What happens if Paxton wins the primary against Cornyn? Texas becomes a COMPETATIVE STATE for the 2026 midterms.
  I don't understand why Texas would become competitive.
  
  I think they are implying that the far-right Paxton would mobilize left-wing voters more than the not-quite-so-far-right Cornyn.
- Hell, could be both.
The headline makes it sound like she just discovered that he's actually a swarm of locusts in a trenchcoat or something. I mean, that would explain a lot, but still
Look up the word corrupt in the dictionary and it's just a picture of Ken Paxton
- Also listed under the definition of, Horror and Nightmare. Just a helpful cross reference.
She stuck with him through the corruption and the cheating.
"Biblical grounds."
If there was a God, Paxton would have been struck by lightning a long time ago.
Oh, okay.
That's personal. Why politicize it?
Hot take, I know.
- Because it’s probably lies. Something else is going on I mean, they’ve been together for a long time and scratched each others political backs. He helped to get her a seat in the Senate so they could continue helping each other politically. And only now she’s going to divorce him? I doubt it has anything to do with him cheating on her. Read her Wikipedia entry for fun stuff like…
  “In February 2019, Paxton introduced Senate Bill 860, which would grant her husband the power to issue exemptions from securities regulations.”
  “When Paxton declined to recuse herself from the trial, she was barred by the Texas Senate from voting on her husband's impeachment.”
