Well now, this is interesting:
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced Tuesday he is running to unseat Sen. John Cornyn in next year’s midterm elections.
“We have a great U.S. Senator, Ted Cruz, and it’s time we have another great senator that will actually stand up for Republican values, fight for the values of the people of Texas, and also support Donald Trump in the areas he’s focused on, in a very significant way,” Paxton told Fox News’ Laura Ingraham. “That’s what I plan on doing.”
Hoo boy: if the Lefties think that Ted Cruz is a bad boy, wait till Paxton gets to the Senate. (For those unfamiliar with Texas senators, John Cornyn is the Lone Star equivalent of South Carolina’s Lindsey Graham — occasionally on the side of the angels, but more than often not.) Predictably, Cornyn’s staff has gone negative, which alone should disqualify the asshole. But despite that:
Internal polls show Paxton leading by more than 20 percentage points over Cornyn.
Can’t wait for the primary later this year so I can do my civic duty and get the ever-unreliable Cornyn outta there.
My only regret is that Texas will be losing a kick-ass Attorney General, and maybe also (if she goes to D.C. with him) a fine state senator in his wife Angie, who represents District 8 in far northeast Texas.
