Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other establishment Republicans are lobbying President Trump to endorse Senator John Cornyn over Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton.
According to a report from CNN, Republican leaders are becoming “anxious” about the prospect of Paxton launching a successful primary challenge against Cornyn.
Cornyn has long been unpopular within MAGA circles for his closeness to former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and opposition to parts of Trump’s policia agenda.

I knew the RINO's would do this. They want to sabotage the upcoming midterms in order to stifle Trump's agenda.

Cornyn is toast. Some phoney endorsement from Trump won’t help. Moses couldn’t save his sorry, backstabbing ass.

Don’t listen to the RINO’s Mr. Trump. They’re wolves in sheep’s clothing.

No way says Jose. POTUS Trump is certainly not going to endorse Cornyn. It will have to be Paxton.

It was a only a matter of weeks, not months or years before Thune put a political knife in our backs, good ole’ McConnell’s boy at work.

But once Paxton is gone, who’ll replace him in Texas. He’s been holding the fort there along with Abott.

Trump should endorse Cornyn but wink while he’s doing it. 😉
To: quantim
Exactly, better a Rick Scott or Ted Cruz as Senate Majority Leader.
To: Macho MAGA Man
Won’t happen. Cornyn’s a DS snake. Trump knows that and already backs Paxton.
To: Macho MAGA Man
There would be plenty of good candidates to run for TX AG.
Maybe one of the many Reps that Paxton helped win their seats....
Maybe Aaron Nielson??

I remember the hope and promise John Thune held among longtime members of this site.
I even remember how amusing and adorable his ad with his children was.
Who has changed here?
