Every week it seems – this goes back to the Haley barbarism that I've been quoting quite a bit here for those of you that listen a lot and that is good gets better, bad gets worse.

And right now this political environment for Republicans, bad is going to worse, right?

The Texas situation is not any better.

What looked like could be an opportunity for Republicans to save a Senate seat down in Texas.

With John Cornyn unexpectedly, you know, being the top vote getter in the first round of voting, maybe they could convince Trump to endorse Cornyn over Paxton.

Well, that ship has sailed.

Right.

They the Paxton folks have bought enough time.

Now it looks like Trump's not going to do it.

And we know Trump will never back Trump.

Somebody he fears could lose and embarrass him because, you know, I think we're going to find out.

And my friend Jonathan Martin has a great piece about how May is really going to be the month that we learn how tight is Trump's grip on the Republican Party.

Can you run away from Trump?

Can you criticize Trump and survive in a primary?

Right.

It's going to be tested all over the map.

Thomas Massey is probably going to be the first test.

Right.

But that's I think we're going to we're going to we're going to start.

That'll be a big one.
