Paxton is by far the weaker candidate in the general, because his comically flagrant personal and political corruption (the girls tell me those are the same) will turn off some normie “independent voters” aka Republicans who are too embarrassed to come right out and scream it.

As to why Trump chose him, who knows but Trump’s razor says it’s for the stupidest imaginable reason, and Occam’s razor says he was bribed.

Anyway, this greatly boosts James Talarico’s chances, even though he was accused recently (the actual word used in news reports regarding the incident) of eating a vegan taco or something.
