almost ensuring that Ken Paxton will be the nominee.

Ken Paxton is, by every measure, less electable than John Cornyn.

We've seen this in the polling.

There is a slice of Republicans who will vote for Cornyn over Tallarico, but will vote for Tallarico over Paxton.

And just like he is so – like this is the example.

He's so focused on vengeance that he decided to go after John Cornyn.

We already just talked about the consequences in the Senate.

And just even more practically, like –

This day, I think the I think the Cook Political Report moved this to lean Republican.

They will if if if Paxton is the nominee.

But so they probably still have advantages here.

But the NRSC, all the super PACs are going to have to spend ungodly amounts of money in this race to try to just win a state that should see they should have already won.

All because Trump just could not help himself.

Maybe we would have made that argument if Cornyn wins.

We may make that argument if Cornyn wins the primary on Tuesday.

I think that argument is hard to support.

He's not winning by more than a point or two, FYI.

And there's also in these polls, there's, you know, like 10 to 12 percent undecided.

And we have to look and see who makes up that undecided.

But then if you are in Texas, I just I think that it just is.
