One: Paxton contends that Cornyn is "too old" to be a Senator at age 74. Well . . . . Cornyn is 6 years younger than Trump. Will Paxton be consistent and insist that Trump is too old to be President?

Two: If/When Cornyn loses the primary, he could always screw Trump, Texas, and the Republican majority in the Senate by running as an Independent. You know, the Joe Lieberman Playbook. He has nothing to lose and would likely prefer having the Last Word.
