Trump on Monday declined to make an endorsement in the primary, telling reporters, “They’ve all supported me, they’re all good and you’re supposed to pick one. So we’ll see what happens, but I support all three.”

I'm posting this because my problem is what Hunt's doing. He's not going to win the primary. What he will do is force a runoff in May putting us all 3 months behind schedule. Cornyn is owed this challenge and should face the primary voters on his own. If Hunt has a future this won't help. He should think of all the resources to be spent and wasted on the runoff. Perry is history. Cornyn will soon be the same but if not then we'll deal with it.

Perhaps Hunt will do the right thing and take himself out after he’s made his point, whatever that is.

Paxton is a dilemma. He should have no problem defeating Jasmine Crocket. But if Talarico somehow wins the Democratic nomination, Paxton could very will be Texas’s version of Roy Moore. Paxton doesn’t just have a skeleton in the closet - he has the whole graveyard!

Not only that it may be Hunt waiting for the nominee(Paxton) to implode so that the GOP elders can choose him over Cornyn. Between those 2 he deserves a chance especially if the opponent is Crockett.

Of course Rick Perry would.

I hope Ken Paxton wins. I can’t say I’m entirely convinced that Texas is conservative enough to field a conservative senator though.

I still think Cornyn scores an upset. I mean, my stomach. An upset stomach. 6 more years of Cornyn. It’s so upsetting to watch the train wreck in real time.

But this is why we have 50 senators and like 2 conservative senators. SMH

Doesn’t say much for Rick Perry (Rino -TX).

Ken Paxton has proven his loyalty to the country and the law. Cornyn is a scumbag RINO and deserves to lose. Not sure about the other guy but Paxton is the smart choice if you sincerely care about this country.

Spend what you want RINO. My wife and I voted for Paxton today. If cornholio wins the primary I will leave that slot blank in the general election.

How about letting the people of Texas decide?? This family is voting for Ken Paxton. Elders have already done so. Cornyn has been helping the democrats and needs to be replaced. How much did you get for endorsing him Perry?

Nah. He’s the Senate version of War Sec Hegseth. The American’s (Texan’s) best friend and the DEI Marxist Progressive’s worst enemy. He just can’t keep Junior properly zipped up. He’ll do fine in the election(s). Cornyn is despised bigly, and Perry is increasingly recognized as the self serving elitist rino he is.

Perry, Cornyn = the last of the Bushbots. You know, the ones who voted for Hillary because they wouldn’t vote for Trump. Honor among thieves.
