| 0:29.9 | So today, we're going to talk about Paxton winning, 250 million, and an opportunity for Democrats. Texas saw the Trump-aligned State Attorney |
| 0:42.3 | General Ken Paxton win the Republican Senate primary. He defeated incumbent Senator John Cornyn, |
| 0:50.3 | but at what cost? Normally, that question is metaphorical, and while that may be true later, right now it's |
| 0:58.8 | literally about the cost in dollars. |
| 1:02.1 | Senate Republicans blew almost $100 million defending Cornyn and trying to preserve the Republican |

| 1:10.9 | That money might as well have just been set on fire. |

| 2:06.4 | Texas is a Republican stronghold. I know people talk about Texas going blue every few years, |
| 2:13.7 | but it's normally an outlier possibility. Why are Republicans suddenly worried? If you're a |
| 2:21.2 | political news junkie or you simply watch the news in Texas, you already know. But for those who |
| 2:28.1 | aren't, let's just say that Paxton is one of the most scandal-plagued candidates just about anywhere. I respect your time |
| 2:37.5 | and try to keep the videos concise, so I don't have time to go over them all. But just Google Ken |
