Chris Hayes just reported that trump is going to host a "midterm convention" for Rs in TX

He says it will be in Dallas and will be truly historic. Man, they are desperate about the midterms. Problem is the more people see of them, the less they like it. Endless speeches by Paxton et al doesn't seem like a winning strategy to me.

It is a big mistake for Trump to take the stage and make all the Republicans hang out with him.

Will Susan Collins?

Will Vivek?

He's not exactly popular, even in Texas.


Edit: Will Cornyn speak? Will Massie? Will Cassidy? Will Greene? Will Nancy Mace, or however she identifies now.

Trump is very popular and needs to appear with all the R candidates. Only he can save them.

I don't really know the contours of the Texas race, other than the GOP was quite fast to drop Cornyn as soon as Trump asked.

This is the same Texas where they just ran all the Muslim Republicans out of the party.

It's going to be a disaster for them. The last thing anybody in a competitive race wants to do is remind everyone how much they love Trump.

This, and the threatening over gas prices are the biggest desperation moves yet from Golfcart Von Fatfuck.

Let's make sure and get you right up front as your pet Congress bends and kneels and kisses your ass on national TV, less than 2 months out from the mid-terms. Can't wait to hear about Sleepy Joe and Crooked Hillary and Barack HUSSEIN Obama ONE MORE TIME!!!!
