Tillis: With Paxton, the Texas Senate Race Got $200 Million More Expensive for Republicans

QUICK: “So how did you feel about the president endorsing Paxton over Cornyn over some of the other issues that have played out?”TILLIS: “I think it was a bad idea. I hope the president will use his resources to pay for the incremental cost of winning Texas now because without Cornyn there is probably about a $200 million premium. And while we're spending money trying to get incumbents reelected, I'd really appreciate the president following through now that he got his nominee through by actually funding an effort that we would not fund it very much had it been Cornyn. It's all about choices. You want to make that choice? Fine. Now on it. Because I want to see Collins, Solomon, Husted, and these other members who need our resources to get it. They needed them before the Paxton decision. The president wants Paxton, then do the work to get them elected.”
