Trump's Favorite Pollster Warns of MAGA Texas Massacre

CNN’s chief data analyst Harry Enten warned that Republicans could face a brutal beating in the Texas Senate race after Donald Trump endorsed Ken Paxton.

The president backed the baggage-laden super MAGA state attorney general against incumbent GOP Sen. John Cornyn one week before the primary runoff.

But the move puts Trump in direct odds with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who is sticking with Cornyn. The GOP Senate campaign arm has been warning that having Paxton as the nominee puts Republicans in a tougher spot come November.

Enten pointed out in a race against Paxton, the Democratic Senate candidate James Talarico is polling better than any Democrat has in the Texas Senate race in decades, heading into the general election.

overconfidence is deadly, imo. Because we've been there.

Don't want to hear someone's going to be toast. Let's just go out and toast em.

Get mad. VOTE.

“I mean, I appreciate the question because even CNN, they did a poll two, three weeks ago. They said Trump is at 100 percent,” he said. “That’s Harry Enten. I like Harry Enten.

No, Enten never said that.

As an aside…Harry Enten is one of the most obnoxious, overbearing people on CNN. I can’t reach the clicker fast enough when he comes on,

Billionaires own these stations
Think they're ever going to say anything bad about billionaires? This is a raisin why we have this worshipping of billionaires in our society since they control the narrative
