Rich Lorry is the editor of the National Review. Dear friend and an amazing weekly guest on the program, he's here early on this Wednesday morning. Richard, good Wednesday. How are you, pal? Good, Sydney.

How are you?

I'm good.

I like what I saw in Texas last night.

It is, I know we keep talking about this every week, whether it's Indiana, those five legislators,

whether it's Cassidy and Louisiana.

Last week it was Massey in Kentucky.

And last night it was Cornyn, who's not a bad guy. He's nothing was Massey in Kentucky and last night it was Cornyn who's not a bad guy he's

nothing like Massey or Rand Paul or any of those idiots he's not but for whatever reason

President Trump attached his horse to Ken Paxton huge race 130 million dollars they spent on

that race Paxton spending by far the least compared to Tolar Rico and, of course, Cornyn.

But it didn't matter because these days in these GOP primaries, if you get Trump to back you, you win.

That's the bottom line, right, Rich?

Yep.

No doubt about it.

It was a little bit like a Knicks game. You thought it might be close at the beginning and then it ended up a blowout. Yeah. I think Trump endorsed him in part because he thought he was going to win, but in part to kind of screw the Senate Republican leadership they're not very happy with it at the moment. I think it's a risky choice. I think he'll win, Paxton, but rumors he hear about the You do? Well, you think he's going to beat, you think, and again, I still don't know why he soured on Quentin. I know he's upset with the Senate and the Congress, but Cornyn votes with President Trump over 99% of the time, but regardless of that, you think Paxton's going to beat Tela Rico?

I do. I think it'll be close, though. I think Tala Rico has so many vulnerabilities. It's going to be really hard for him. But Paxton, I think there's probably more scandal out there that

Democrats will pay for, manage to dredge up. So it's going to be ugly, but ugly down there. I think he'll pull it out, but it's going to be hugely expensive, probably the most expensive

race in the country.
