The MAGA crowd, and even moderate Republicans dont care about POLICY or governing..... They love the culture wars, they want to be entertained and they mostly want to "shock and own the Libs".....
The right may be whining about how Trumps economy is negatively affecting them, but when it comes times for voting, they wont vote for change, they will vote to hold onto their corrupt power, and to enable Trump to further enrich himself, family and friends, while they continue to SUFFER, grin and bear it..... FOR DADDY !
They can lose everything they have, and still vote Trump, allowing HIM to have more..... I dont believe the polling or anything that ANY Republican has to say, especially how they are unhappy with Trumps policies. Their words never match their actions. .
Its the ONLY explanation for their choosing Paxton over Cornyn, who is a more mainstream, old school, basically honorable Republican.... They DONT want that...
