Who will Trump endorse?John Cornyn - TX-Sen

New from John Cornyn to me on Ken Paxton • • On if he’s running a good campaign: “I think it's hard to outrun all the baggage,” citing lack of indy support • • Why is he having a hard time? • • “I think because of all the things we talked about in the primary, which were true.” (Cornyn called him corrupt and a cheater in primary.) • • “You can spend a lot of money, and there is a lot of money being thrown at the race, but if you have a have a bad candidate, it's hard to win…It's going to be hard to change people's minds this late in the game.” • • Is he lazy? • • “I'll let people decide on their own about that.” • • Why not help him raise $? • • “Well, for all the reasons that we pointed out in the primary. The risk for Republicans is if we nominate flawed candidates in November, we risk losing. … This is the way that majority parties become minority parties by nominating candidates that are less than appealing to a general election electorate.” • • Does Paxton deserve to be a senator? • • “I'll let the voters decide that” • • Will you vote for him? • • “I'll support the ticket.”

CORNYN responds to Trump’s threat to wait out Cornyn & Tillis:

However, John Cornyn, of Texas, and Thom Tillis, of North Carolina, both of whom I refused to Endorse, and whose political careers have been ended by my action, are refusing to vote for this Great Nominee, who will remain, in any event, as Acting. Remember, both Cornyn and Tillis voted for Merrick Garland, and others, too numerous to mention. I have no objection to temporarily withdrawing Todd’s name, if they do not do the right thing, and putting him back after Cornyn and Tillis are out of office. President DONALD J. TRUMP
