This might be the best attempt at propaganda by Politico to date.

President Donald Trump appears to be leaning toward endorsing Sen. John Cornyn in the Texas GOP Senate primary, issuing a stark warning to state Attorney General Ken Paxton in an interview with POLITICO.
The president, in a brief phone conversation Thursday morning, said an endorsement will be “made pretty soon” before addressing Paxton, who recently said he would not drop out of the race even if Trump endorses Cornyn.
quote:
“Well, that’s bad for him to say,” Trump said. “That is bad for him. So maybe, maybe that leads me to go the other direction.”
Trump had previously stated he would ask the candidate he does not endorse to step aside.
Senate Republicans have already asked Trump to back Cornyn, who narrowly pulled ahead of Paxton on Tuesday in the first round of the primary. The two now face a heated runoff, which could last for another three months unless one of them ends their campaign.
The battle between Cornyn and Paxton has been expensive and full of personal attacks between the candidates. The National Republican Senatorial Committee has called Paxton a “wife-cheater and fraud.” His ex-wife, state Sen. Angela Paxton, filed for divorce “on biblical grounds.”
Both Cornyn and Paxton have lobbied hard for the president’s support.

For the record, I voted Paxton in EV but this is an apparent change of heart if it’s actually true.
If it indeed pushes Thune to get Save Act passed, it’s worth it.

This sucks but Save Act is the goal. Eyes on the prize.

Thune is a fricking dick playing hardball to save the guy he beat out for the role of Senate Majority Leader.

Thune would have to get the save act passed before Trump gives his endorsement to Cornyn. Paxton can beat Cornyn without Trump's endorsement for the runoff.

Yeah, Trump shouldn't trust Thune as far as he can throw him. But the Save Act isnt enough. Trump needs the ability to make recess appointments.

Texans vote Paxton please.
If Trump endorses Cornyn and Paxton wins, Paxton will be a much better Trump ally than Cornyn going forward.

You guys need to realize thune said nothing about passing the save act he said "he would bring it to a vote" like the POS is supposed to do anyway.
He gets the save act through, and recess appointments, and we talk about not primarying his arse and running his whole family through enough lawfare to make him wish he had never been a senator, and an absolute shame to continue to live in his state.
What an absolute POS party we have. Dems vote in unison on the most terrible 80/20 issues, we have to bribe the leader of the senate to even bring up a vote to save the constitution of the United States. What an absolute POS.
