Trump says he will endorse 'soon' in Texas GOP Senate primary -- and he wants the other guy to drop out
Because, you know, he's the King Maker in Chief. You wouldn't want the voters to decide!
President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will be endorsing a candidate in the Texas GOP Senate primary in the near future, adding that he will ask the other candidate to step aside.
Trump’s impending endorsement looms over the upcoming runoff — which could prolong an already expensive and bitter primary fight for 12 more weeks, unless somebody steps aside.
Trump wrote in a Wednesday afternoon social media post that the primary “cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer.”

I like it when the GOP has to waste money here. It takes it away from other places.
