Going toe to toe with the GOP in Texas may not be a good investment when you have other states you can easily win and drain the coffers of the GOP while doing so.

But....if the GOP doesn't fight for it....it makes it a shit load easier to take.

You would think the GOP wouldn't fall for it...but with Jared running things....well, they just might.
