Man, I don't know what to think. John Cornyn is awful, awful but if he won the primary he would probably beat either Talarico or Crockett in the general.

Ken Paxton is nasty and mean nobody likes him. Our chances of beating him are promising.

All I will say is Angela Paxton has the opportunity to do the funniest thing.
