@MarkDavis Or it could be that money is a finite asset. In 2022 McConnell had to spend $80mm to drag JV over the finish line in OH. Why do that for Paxton instead of trying to win 4 or 5 more winnable races?
@jaynordlinger When Kashyapp came out against the 2nd Amendment after the ICE executions in Minnesota they said ‘of course you don’t havd a right to ‘bring a gun to a protest! Of course police can shoot you dead as soon as they see you havd a gun!’.
@MarkDavis 1. Cornyn voted with Trump 98% of the time. If he was the nominee, Texas would’nt be in play.
2. Senate Rs can now spend $100mm trying to save Paxton or they can invest in races like ME NC MI OH AK IA.
3. Since Trump picked Paxton wht shouldn’t he help with his campaign?
@MarkDavis ‘Paxton had a junior deputy assistant AG file a frivolous lawsuit that will get laughed out of court so that proves he’s not lazy’ is a very lazy defense of his work ethic.
@AriaJ138084@MarkDavis That’s his all the best con! He gets the dumb suckers to say ‘HE DOESN’T TAKE A SALARY’ while he’s literally stealing BILLIONS from the taxpayers.
@AriaJ138084@MarkDavis Trump has personally made at least $4 billion the past 18 months. $100 million is 2.5% of that. So why doesn’t he peel off a little bit to help out his good friend Paxton ?
@PSmartBarnes@MarkDavis Put aside polls for the sake of argument. Look at actual results from special elections across the country over the past 18 months.
@PSmartBarnes@MarkDavis We’ll see. He’s the favorite and should win. He’s also a bad candidate running a bad campaign in a bad environment for Trumpists.
@JonathanTurley How bout a litmus test for Republicans judicial nominees? Like being able to say under oath to the Senate Judiciary Committee who won the 2020 election?
