The one that my Rory says we should really keep an eye on, he thinks is the most interesting, is Texas.
And what happened there in the run-up, you had this situation where the two wings of the kind of traditional Republicans and the MAGA crowd have made it the most expensive, one of the most expensive primaries in Republican history.
And what they've done is they've ended up, and this is where I think Trump becomes a problem, because they've ended up picking as a candidate Trump's man, this guy Ken Paxton,
who is just terrible.
He's going to be a terrible – I think he's going to be a terrible candidate.

Paxton, meanwhile, the guy who's now going to be representing the Republicans –
He's been reported to the FBI for bribery by people who work for him.
He was impeached for bribery in Texas.
His wife is a Republican senator who filed for divorce on what she called biblical grounds.
He's been indicted for securities fraud.
And he's up against this very interesting situation.

But the fact that they're even talking about this being too close to call is, you know, I think evidence of how much trouble Trump is potentially in.
He's still got the power in the party.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And I think that's partly because a lot of them... Look, I wrote my column last week about this extraordinary encounter I had with a Trump supporter.
