7. "if the Republicans nominate Ken Paxton, who's very unpopular"

I understand what he's saying, which is an indictment of our sick political system, limited to two parties, with most of the races decided in the primary by extreme partisans.

Nonetheless, such a sentence sounds farcical, like something Yogi Berra would say.

"The Republicans might elect Paxton who is very unpopular."

"People don't go that restaurant anymore. It is always too crowded."

My advice to Texas Republicans is, "Come on cowboys. Go with y'all's good ole' boy gut instincts. Paxton's your kinda guy. Pull the lever for him. What could go wrong?"
