“Thoughts concerns?”
Not sure about ‘concerns’, but I cannot but help thinking that the Republicans in the Texas House would NOT have hung themselves out to be DECIMATED if they knew that the Texas Senate was NOT going to convict Paxton.
To put it another way, they voted to Impeach Paxton, knowing that the Texas Senate would confirm the vote and remove him...even though the Texas Senate is Republican, while the Texas House answers to the Democrats.
So what changed? I strongly suspect that this move got FAR MORE ATTENTION than the Texas House ever intended, and with that, Trump and others made it into a litmus test in the Texas Senate, and other than a couple of soon-to-be-unemployed Republicans there, the Senate understood what it would mean to side with the House Democrats and thus chose the opposite.
I think this is true-Pres Trump came out hitting hard in favor of Paxton early on, trashing Phelan and the other RINO’s/Bushies for being DC puppets. And he has been supportive of gov Abbot and Paxton for their hard stance on immigration since he was pres...
