In a normal world, the 26 Republicans up for election in our target districts would condemn Trump for his treasonous comments last night. But they won’t.

A $250,000 donation to a pro-Ken Paxton super PAC came from a businessman whose dad got pardoned by Trump — and who used a fake name and rented mailbox on the donation record.

Can't stress enough how much this will have the GOP shaken. This is in Collin County, TX. Historically, (90's, early 2000's), a GOP stronghold. Yet in their initial GOP primary election, both Paxton & Cornyn only got just above 40%. As goes Collin County, so goes TX.
