I think Trump didn't have a choice. Paxton is his boy. He threw Cornyn - a shoe-in for re-election - under the bus and now it is conceivable that Texas will have a Democratic senator. FAFO, Donnie.

If you're voting yes, does an endorsement outweigh Paxton's legal baggage, or does it just not factor into how you vote at all?
