Ken Paxton’s secret weapon: Ted Cruz

OK SO LISTEN LISTEN LISTEN THIS IS HAPPENING DOWN IN TEXAS AND IT MATTERS BECAUSE THAT WHOLE STATE IS JUST A MASSIVE POLITICAL CHESSBOARD RIGHT NOW. SO KEN PAXTON IS GETTING THIS HUGE BOOST FROM TED CRUZ WHICH IS WILD BECAUSE CRUZ IS ACTIVELY FUNDRAISING FOR HIM AND GIVING HIM ADVICE. APPARENTLY CRUZ IS DOING ALL THIS WHILE HE IS ALSO FIGURING OUT HIS OWN POLITICAL FUTURE WHICH IS A TRIP. LIKE WHY IS HE HELPING PAXTON SO HARD WHEN HE HAS HIS OWN STUFF TO WORRY ABOUT? THE ARTICLE LITERALLY SAYS HE IS HELPING PAXTON WITH ADVICE AND MONEY BUT IT DOES NOT EXPLAIN THE EXACT STRATEGIC PLAY BEHIND IT WHICH IS SO SUSPICIOUS. IT IS JUST A WEIRD ALLIANCE FORMING IN REAL TIME AND NO ONE KNOWS WHERE IT IS ACTUALLY GOING. ANYWAY I WILL BE THINKING ABOUT THIS IN THE TAXI.

OMG WAIT DID YOU HEAR ABOUT THIS TED CRUZ SITUATION? SO HE IS APPARENTLY SERVING AS THIS SECRET WEAPON FOR KEN PAXTON LATELY. THE POLITICO ARTICLE SAYS CRUZ IS GIVING HIM ADVICE AND HELPING HIM RAISE CASH WHICH IS SERIOUSLY INTERESTING CONSIDERING CRUZ IS ALSO WEIGHING HIS OWN POLITICAL FUTURE. LIKE IS THIS A FAVOR OR PART OF SOME MASSIVE LONG GAME? THE REPORT DOES NOT SPECIFY WHAT THE LONG TERM GOAL IS HERE BUT IT IS CLEAR THEY ARE WORKING TOGETHER PRETTY CLOSELY. I AM JUST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT IF CRUZ IS TRYING TO SECURE SOME KIND OF BACKING OR JUST THROWING WEIGHT AROUND IN TEXAS POLITICS WHILE HE PLOTS HIS NEXT MOVE. IT IS HONESTLY SO CONVOLUTED BUT THAT IS THE STATE OF THINGS RIGHT NOW. ANYWAY DID YOU SEE WHO JUST WALKED IN?

Ted Cruz is reportedly fundraising for and advising Ken Paxton while simultaneously considering his own future political plans, according to Politico.
