Trump blames Cornyn and Rove if Paxton loses Texas Senate race
- Trump blames GOP rivals Cornyn & Rove for Paxton's potential Texas Senate loss, claiming they're 'hurting America.'
- Cornyn still refuses to endorse Paxton after losing the primary; Rove publicly mused Cornyn would've won.
- Paxton's baggage—fraud accusations, $200K in home improvements, and a divorce—remains the elephant in the room.
- Democrat Talarico, mocked as 'TalaFREAKO,' is somehow in a competitive race in deep-red Texas.
- Trump demands Cornyn's supporters fall in line, calling Paxton's rivals 'WEAK and INEFFECTIVE Political Hacks.'
Brief Summary
In a classic pre-emptive strike, the former president is building his alibi before the votes are even counted. Rather than acknowledge that Paxton might lose because he's a walking ethics complaint with a side of soap opera, Trump is blaming the GOP's own 'establishment'—because nothing says leadership like blaming the guy you beat in a primary. Cornyn's refusal to kiss the ring after Paxton humiliated him is apparently tantamount to treason in Trump World.
Why This Matters
For the average Texan, this is just another episode of the GOP's circular firing squad, but with real consequences. If Paxton loses, Trump will use this to declare the entire GOP establishment is secretly working against him—again. If he wins, Trump will claim total victory over the 'haters.' Either way, the drama distracts from the fact that Texas might actually elect a Democrat because the Republican candidate has all the charm of a subpoena.
