Wesley Hunt joined President Trump in endorsing Ken Paxton.
Senate Republicans are livid with Trump. Just now, Sen. Wicker remained stone-faced (appeared to be intentional) for about 20 seconds as he walked into lunch and we asked him for his reaction

Sen. Murkowski says TX is all but lost to Dems now
Lisa Murkowski seems to believe Paxton can't win and this just secured the race for fake Pastor Talarico. Maybe he and his 'girlfriend' can have a celebratory dinner tonight.
This is what I voted for.

They could have passed the SAVE America Act. It might have helped them survive a little longer. Too bad.
Paxton will win TX (Murkowski doesn’t know what she’s talking about) and maybe then these RINOs will realize their time is up. We are purging their… https://t.co/8ZIKq1JvuQ
Conservatives angry the Senate did not advance the SAVE Act stand behind Trump's decision.

Exactly. She should just probably keep her inside thoughts to herself.
Does anyone believe Murkowski is worried about strengthening President Trump’s political position? Who believes this? She’s worried about the Republican Party? She lost a primary and left the party. No one believes this is why she’s mad.

She hasn't exactly been a huge proponent of 'conserving conservatism' up until now, so maybe she should just take a deep breath.
President Trump’s endorsement of MAGA loyalist Ken Paxton has sent CNN and establishment Republicans into full MELTDOWN mode.

Senators Thune and Murkowski are not happy.
CNN: “Shockwaves, anger, disappointment and real concern among Republicans in this building.”

Anytime CNN is in an 'uproar', it's probably a good thing.
