Trump Tortured By MAGA Fans For Not Playing Texas Senate Game Right
KEY POINTS
- â˘MAGA activists pressured Trump to skip endorsing Senator John Cornyn ahead of Texas May 26 runoff.
- â˘Cornyn and scandal-tainted Attorney General Ken Paxton topped the GOP primary, sparking intense intra-party conflict.
- â˘Republican leaders fear a Paxton loss could threaten GOPâs Senate majority and are lobbying Trump to support Cornyn.
In a Texas Senate saga juicier than Texas barbecue secrets, Trump was all set to endorse Senate Majority Cornyn until MAGA activists went nuclear harder than a Texas wildfire. These keyboard commandosâLaura Loomer, Mike Cernovich, and Jack Posobiecâdredged up Cornyn calling Trump 'reckless' post-Jan 6 and 'irrelevant' in 2023, like a political roast session with less mercy. Meanwhile, Ken Paxton, who boasts a corruption impeachment and alleged infidelity charges, got the MAGA seal of approval courtesy of Steve Bannon's 'War Room.' With May 26 runoff looming, party honchos like John Thune and Tim Scott desperately want Trump to side with electability over scandal, threatening GOP's Senate majority with a loss to Democrat James Talarico, whoâs shaking thirty-two years of Texas red dust off. Trumpâs bluster on Iran war and a voter ID/anti-trans push double as leverage, making this more than a Senate raceâitâs the ultimate MAGA drama showdown.

(1 of 3)Watching Trump dodge MAGAâs nuclear Texas showdown is like watching a squirrel on caffeine avoid a vacuum cleanerâmessy, frantic, and bound to a meltdown.
Texas politics just turned into the WWE of U.S. Senate races where corruption is the belt and Trumpâs the referee who can't pick a side without a riot.
Paxtonâs corruption dossier is thicker than Texas BBQ sauce while Cornynâs charm is drying out faster than his endorsement chances.
