Trump Decides to Sidestep Texas GOP Fight

[RandySF]

loomberg: “The Republican infighting in Texas isn’t going to die down anytime soon with President Donald Trump no longer expected to endorse either candidate in the state’s increasingly nasty Senate primary runoff.”

“On one side of the fight is Senator John Cornyn, who’s held his seat since 2002 and reliably voted for Trump’s second-term agenda; on the other side is state Attorney General Ken Paxton, a darling of the MAGA movement who’s been trailed by ethics issues in office.”

“By sidestepping an endorsement, Trump and his team are setting up a costly, fractious fight between two allies at a time when the war with Iran is already causing fissures in the MAGA base — and potentially giving an opening to Democrats.”

2. I hope that this helps Paxton

I would prefer for Talarico run against Paxton

3. I know. And Cornyn has been groveling...

so I think that non-endorsement might have
something to do with other pressures Trump
might feel coming from a criminality pov.
