Trump says he will endorse 'soon' in Texas GOP Senate primary -- and he wants the other guy to drop out [View all]

Because, you know, he's the King Maker in Chief. You wouldn't want the voters to decide!

President Donald Trump said Wednesday he will be endorsing a candidate in the Texas GOP Senate primary in the near future, adding that he will ask the other candidate to step aside.

Trump’s impending endorsement looms over the upcoming runoff — which could prolong an already expensive and bitter primary fight for 12 more weeks, unless somebody steps aside.

Trump wrote in a Wednesday afternoon social media post that the primary “cannot, for the good of the Party, and our Country, itself, be allowed to go on any longer.”

I like it when the GOP has to waste money here. It takes it away from other places.
