Paxton vs Cornyn: Texas Senate Showdown Heats Up

0:00Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton fired up the crowd at the conservative political action conference in Greybine, predicting he'll crush Senator John, Kornin, and May's Republican Senate runoff. As the CPAC endorsed Canada, Paxton said conservatives like him usually dominate the second-round votes, promising to swap out of Washington. Insider, for someone fighting for Texas Republican values, he kept his speech punchy, much like his recent North Texas rally before the March 3rd primary. Paxton pushed hard for the Save America Act, thanking President Trump for the pressure on the Senate and jabbed Kornin for spending decades in D.C., while gunning for a fifth term. The audience aided up, cheering Paxton and booing, when Steve Bannon called out Kornin for skipping the event, saying the Senator doesn't think. Conservatives matter enough. Paxton even asked the crowd if anyone had spotted Kornin around, no one had. Kornin's camp hit back quick with the mobile billboard outside the conference, blasting Paxton as so corrupt, it would make Hillary Clinton blush, and highlighting his legal troubles.
