I don’t know about any deals. Stockman was a marginal at best candidate to begin with who seems rather flighty. While I don’t watch a lot of local TV I haven’t heard a single ad for any Cornyn challenger on radio or on the internet. Most people don’t know that there’s any “race” going on and I think this whole thing has been blown out of proportion to what it really is.
It would be nice if we had another Ted Cruz to challenge this year, but, we don’t. Let’s not try to create one where it doesn’t exist.
I'm hoping that works to our advantage and motivated Tea Partiers can push Cornyn out because his people don't show.
The money, endorsements, and name recognition comes when Cornyn is forced into a run-off by 7 challengers.
