Thune says he doesn’t have 50 votes for the SAVE Act. But if Fetterman votes for it as he said he would I believe we’d have 50.

If Thune had the jackasses who don’t support it just not be there for the vote, would we need less votes?

“ It would be nice if President Trump just stayed out of this”

Is he in it?

They want to be back in the minority to allow their Democrat bosses to do anything they want.

Congress is gone. 2027 to 2029 is going to suck.

There used to be a great slogan “drain that swamp”

Pretty much confirms the common wisdom... Hunt took more votes from Paxton than Cornyn.

Really not sure why West was even in the race... all he did was ensure that Paxton wouldn’t get to 50%.. forcing a runoff and delaying his focus on the general, and force money to be spent.

Which would be a move one would expect from an establishment/uniparty guy.

I don’t know West, but would like to think that was not his reasons, but its kind of hard to figure out what else they would be. We all know the TX GOP Establishment hates Paxton and will do anything to harm him... They would like nothing more than see a Democrat win rather than Paxton win.

Now 3 months will be wasted on a Runoff where you better believe Cornyn and the establishment will use ever dirty trick they can find and all the money they can get to just attack Paxton.

It won’t stop Paxton from winning the nomination but it will cost 3 months of tearing down the Democrat.

I still believe Paxton will win handily, but it just makes little sense to me.

I don’t think it’s gutlessness (is that a word?)

I think our senate leadership is playing for the wrong team.

There is absolutely no tactical reason to endorse Cornyn.

Tell Mitch McConnell, John Thune, Lisa Murkowski, Tim Scott, and Thom Tillis that the patrician RINO days are finally OVER!

I very much doubt that. Trump can probably wreck either candidate. He should put a time limit on the Save America passage and if he doesn’t get it and say it obviously is of no benefit having Coryn because he has no sway. The legislative agenda is more likely than not done for Trump unless he goes hard left in the next 2 years. Republicans won’t even let him appoint attorneys for crying out loud. Trump owes non of these fools anything. Everything that has been done has been done by Trump alone.

No one cares how you pass it. If you don’t think that will work then do the way that will work. No one wants to hear your excuses as to why things can’t get done. Trump took on Iran and Venezuela in month, figure it out.

Too much kink here. What business did Hunt have throwing a monkey wrench into the whole process and thereby extending the primary 3 months? Lotta wasted money.

"....stop reelecting RINOs. They aren’t the lesser of two evils. They are the greater of two evils."

THAT was the grand slam quote.

- 'Cause they never stab us in the back until it is guaranteed to really, really hurt..

“”Texans do NOT want Cornholio ... we are sick and tired of this 24 YEAR, grifting RINO. He is NOT Republican and is most certainly NOT conservative.

I hope Texas and the US Senate are BOTH blessed, with a Senator Paxton.””

***

Amen!

I wish someone, anyone in leadership would call out the RINOs. Make them squirm until they relent
