Paxton PAC running TV ads in Palm Beach while Trump at Mar-a-Lago

A super PAC backing Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R) for Senate is airing television ads in Palm Beach, Fla., where President Trump is spending the weekend at his Mar-a-Lago resort, as his endorsement in a competitive primary runoff hangs in the balance.

Lone Star Liberty PAC came out with a new television ad on Friday that accuses Paxton’s opponent, Rep. John Cornyn (R-Texas), of having “betrayed” Trump, citing his votes to confirm Merrick Garland as U.S. attorney general and Lisa Monaco as deputy attorney general in 2021.

“John Cornyn betrayed President Trump, and he doesn’t deserve our trust” the one-minute spot states. It concludes with a clip from earlier in the week of Cornyn telling an NBC News reporter to “go away.”

The play comes as Trump is still reportedly weighing an endorsement in the closely watched race, which advanced to a runoff after neither candidate secured enough votes in the March 3 GOP primary to win outright.

Top Republicans on Capitol Hill have been lobbying Trump behind the scenes to back Cornyn amid concerns that the seat could be costly to defend in the general election if Paxton, whose time as attorney general has been mired in controversy, wins.

I guess Trump should stay neutral and let the contestants blow millions of their contributors money. So why can’t Thune stay out of it?

“So why can’t Thune stay out of it?“

Because Thune is a filthy swamp native just like Cornyn.

There is only one single Texas primary voter in Palm Beach, Florida that matters.

And its brilliant I might add.

Trump’s dominant motivating factor is loyalty. So blasting out again and again that Cornyn is disloyal might hopefully help the President do the right thing, compared to his Graham endorsement which was not the right thing. SMH

Get Cornyn to support and vote for the Save America Act . . . then endorse Paxton.
