LOL Murkowski worried about losing Texas to the Democrats. 

[IsailedawayfromFR]

Yet my supposed conservative GOP congressman in Texas just endorsed Cornyn.

No one has ever kept the Senate job in Texas longer than RINO Cornyn.

I have worked closely with President Trump through both of his Presidential terms and voted with him more than 99% of the time. He has consistently called me a friend in this race. It is now time for Texas Republican voters to decide if they want a strong nominee to help our GOP candidates down ballot and defeat Talarico in November, or a weak nominee who jeopardizes everything we care about. I trust the Republican voters of Texas.

NEW: I asked Senate Majority Leader John Thune if President Trump gave him a heads up before his Paxton endorsement, or if he found out via Trump’s Truth Social post.

“I think I found out the way everyone else did,” Thune said.

I think President Trump made an unwise decision in endorsing Ken Paxton today because Paxton could lose the Texas Senate seat to Talarico. I hope enough Texas Republicans thank the president for his advice and vote for @JohnCornyn
 during early voting now and next week. GOP needs him and the seat.

[jafo2010]

Long overdue for RINO Cornyn to receive his traveling papers.  I like Ken Paxton.  I  was disappointed when Trump did not endorse him in the primary.

Frankly, I do not care what he is doing in his personal life, I only c are about the results he is producing for Texas.  He has gotten the job done.

Hell, half these pukes in federal offices do not know how to keep their zippers closed and would jump at the chance to engage any skirt.  Look at JFK, a man that was admired by many in the USA, whuttling women into the White House, one after another while his wife was often in the next room.  A whore of a human being.

As I  say to many who have overstayed their welcome, GOOD RIGGANCE TO SEN CORNYN!  DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOUR BACKSIDE!

It is a lie that Cornyn has been with Trump 99% of the time.  I remember there was more than one issue Cornyn was on the wrong side.  Considering the issues one can count on your fingers, he has been against Trump on more than a single knuckle!

CNN’s Cupp: Paxton, Talarico Matchup ‘Makes Texas in Play’

Sounds to me like this is going to be a nail biter.

New poll shows tight Texas US Senate race for Cornyn, Paxton

If Paxton wins the runoff on May 26, 45% of likely voters would vote for Paxton, 45% for Democrat James Talarico, 2% for Libertarian Ted Brown, and 8% undecided.

Paxton would get 90% of Cornyn voters, while 2% would vote for Talarico and 2% for Brown, with 6% undecided.

In a Paxton-Talarico contest, Paxton polls well among the same demographic as Cornyn does. However, Talarico's edge among Latino voters is slightly wider against Paxton than against Cornyn.

Talarico also holds a 45% to 20% lead over Paxton among independents.

Senate GOP expresses frustration, anger, sadness as Trump snubs Cornyn in Texas

The Hill
by Alexander Bolton
05/20/26

President Trump’s decision Tuesday to snub Sen. John Cornyn and endorse state Attorney General Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Republican primary was met with frustration, anger and even sadness by Senate Republicans.

The move likely sinks Cornyn’s hopes of winning another Senate term, and Republicans warned it could make it tougher to defeat Democratic candidate James Talarico in November.

Republican senators exuded pain for Cornyn, who served as Senate Republican whip during Trump’s first term and is deeply respected by his Senate GOP colleagues

“I’m really sad, I’m sad personally for John Cornyn and I hope he’s successful in his election regardless, and I’m sad for the institution,” said one GOP senator who requested anonymity to talk about the internal conference feelings.

“There’s no senator that works harder to make things happen around here, works harder to take care of his colleagues,” the GOP lawmaker lamented.

The senator noted that the tradition in the past has been for the president and the National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) to work together to help Republican incumbents facing primary challengers.

“I think it’s sad for the institution. There’s something to this that’s really troubling,” the lawmaker added.

RINO Crash Out Over Trump’s Paxton Endorsement Shows How Much The GOP Hates Its Voters

Most Senate Republicans are angrier at Cornyn’s and Cassidy’s prospective ousters than their shared history of betraying GOP voters.

The Senate GOP is having a full-blown meltdown at President Trump’s decision to endorse Ken Paxton in the Texas Senate Republican primary over establishment darling John Cornyn. And it is nothing short of glorious.

Flanked by frowning members of Senate GOP leadership, Majority Leader John Thune somberly reaffirmed his support for the gun control-loving Cornyn, whom he called a “principled conservative.” Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker reportedly “remained stone-faced (appeared to be intentional) for about 20 seconds” when asked for his reaction to Trump’s endorsement of Paxton. Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski is reported to have thrown a temper tantrum at the president’s refusal to back Cornyn. ...

Fox’s Hume suggests Trump endorsement could hand Texas Senate seat to Dems
May 21, 2026 | Chris Donaldson

President Donald J. Trump finally made his endorsement in the Texas Senate race, endorsing the state’s controversial Attorney General Ken Paxton over longtime incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.

The president’s pick hasn’t gone over well with some GOP senators who have griped to the media, and in a brutal column, the Wall Street Journal Editorial Board went so far as to say that “Trump makes Chuck Schumer’s day by endorsing Ken Paxton” and that he put the normally safe seat “in play” by not endorsing Cornyn.

In the opinion of the WSJ Editorial Board, Trump “will deserve complete and total credit” if Republicans lose the seat and “If Mr. Paxton wins next week and Texas ends up being the seat that turns Senate control to the Democrats, Mr. Trump will deserve ‘complete and total’ credit, as he likes to put it.”

The column came up during a discussion of Trump’s choice on Wednesday’s edition of “Special Report” on Fox News, with the chief political analyst agreeing with the paper that questions about Paxton’s ethics could open the door for the Democrats in the Lone Star state, despite their own candidate, state Rep. James Talarico, having his own issues.

Harry Enten points to data suggesting Democrats can ‘absolutely’ win Texas Senate seat
May 21, 2026 | Frieda Powers

CNN’s Harry Enten thinks Democrats “could very well” pull out a victory as he looked into polling from Texas’s U.S. Senate race.

The network’s senior data analyst told anchor John Berman that he wanted to dispel suggestions that Democrats have no path to victory in the Lone Star State, where, he said, President Donald Trump is “considerably less popular.”

“It’s simply put—they’re looking at the numbers. They are looking at numbers, and the idea that Democrats can’t win in Texas, I want to put that to rest. They could very well do it. James Talarico could very well win in Texas,” Enten said Wednesday.

Pure propaganda! NOT going to happen!

[massadvj]

John Cornyn is no doubt beloved among his squishy colleagues in the senate. He was an easy target for Trump, since Paxton is polling ahead in pre-election polling. Ironically, I think Trump was ready to endorse Cornyn a few months ago, but the senate has not been so kind to the POTUS lately. I think Trump wanted to send a chill down the spines of the remaining RINOs in the senate. It won't work for the simple reason that Republicans in the senate have no spines.

Paxton will easily take down Talarico in November. Beta males cannot win in Texas. Ask Beto.

It may not be an easy win.  Keep in mind that thousands and thousands of left wing liberals have moved into the state.
