Trump's intention to endorse "moderate" Cornyn in Texas Senate race, shows how frightened he is that the Republicans will lose the Senate in November

It is rather unusal for Donald Trump to want to endorse the more "moderate" Senate candidate -- the one who isn't to the right of Attila the Hun -- these days, but, he appears to be about to do just that, in the Texas Senate race. The Democratic candidate, James Talarico, is an appealing moderate, with an excellent chance, given Trump's unpopularity, that is infecting all Congressional races this year. The favored Republican Senate candidate to win the primary, Ken Paxton, is scandal ridden, but, an extreme right, MAGA candidate, of the type that Trump generally approves of. However, for the first time in over thirty years, the Democrats have an excellent chance of taking a Senate seat in Texas, so, Trump is considered quite likely to endorse the relatively moderate incumbent, John Cornyn, instead. Will this help? If Ken Paxton refuses to leave the race, probably not. And, Paxton says he is refusing to leave the race. Paxton might still win, after considerable damage being done in preparation for the runoff in the Republican primary. If John Cornyn wins, he'll be beaten up so badly in the runup to the runoff election, that he'll probably lose, since MAGA voters will stay home. If Ken Paxton drops out, and John Cornyn is endorsed by Trump, then, that would probably give him a better chance of surviving. But, given the current electoral climate, who knows? https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/bad-him-trump-gives-toxic-182803838.html
