Abbott would appoint a replacement?

IDK Texas procedure.

Special election?

But who the D's got? Puto?

Cruz would be fine.

Then, Josh Hawley, when Thomas bows out.


At this point I would much rather have Cruz in the Senate. We know where he stands, which is firmly with the President. We have enough wavering RINOs in the Senate to be uncomfortable with our slim majority there. As I said Cruz would make an excellent 2nd term appointment by Trump should Thomas retire.
