Following the Barack Obama career plan. Obama shot up from being state senator to U.S. senator in 2004, then next step the WH.
Likewise, they're now wanting juicy divorce details from Crockett's main Republican opponent, Paxton, just like they did with Obama's 2004 US senate opponent Jack Ryan (posts 33 and 39 in the above FR link).

Speaking as a long time Texas conservative, the Paxton situation is quite troubling. While he takes strong and principled positions that most conservatives agree with, he has so little self-discipline that he entered into an illicit affair (in a Dallas area hotel) just a few weeks prior to announcing his challenge to Cornyn.
If he manages to survive the runoff next May (with either Cornyn or Wesley Hunt), he will enter the general election in a weakened position. Imagine the TV ads that will follow: Proponent of posting 10 commandments in public schools while he himself violates the one about committing adultery. If Democrats are stupid enough to nominate Crockett, he would probably survive, although Democrats would be sure to pour millions into this race.
Lots of pro-family groups in Texas have already distanced themselves from Paxton. Trump has remained silent on this one. Too bad Paxton couldn’t keep his zipper zipped.
