    Starting to wonder if Paxton could actually be more hated in the senate than Cruz is. Cant remember who said it but I remember a quote or at least paraphrased quote, saying you could murder Cruz on the Senate floor and have 99 people not witness it.

      “I like Ted Cruz more than most of my other colleagues like Ted Cruz. And I hate Ted Cruz.”

      • Al Franken

      Such a perfect quote. We can only hope the one for Ken Paxton will be as good or better.

      I think you’re thinking of this fantastic quote by Lindsey Graham:

      “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”
