Ken Paxton promised to drop out of the Senate race if Republicans bypassed the filibuster to pass the SAVE Act. They did not, John Cornyn is now going to lose, and every American last puke in the Senate is angry about it.
Such illustrates the culture that has been built up in the Senate over the last few decades-- the culture of incumbent protection. There's a reason that before the last two weeks, no Republican incumbent had gone down in a primary election since 2010.
It's because it's very hard to run a statewide campaign against a well-funded incumbent. RINOs in the Senate knew that all they had to do to be re-elected was say the right things at election time, have the DC money behind them, and coast to victory.
Well, those days are over. It turns out you can only bullshit Republican primary voters for so long before they catch on to the fact that people like John Cornyn don't actually represent them.
Senators may actually be forced to keep the promises they make to the voters for a change if they want to keep their seat.
The really frustrating part is the just literally threw away over 100 million dollars to try to protect Cornyn. And the dude was so bad...as an incumbent he couldn't even make it out of the primary and into the general election! Such piss poor judgement/management by .
