I spoke with family member (mom) of a candidate for Texas House Rep in ‘24.  This was during early voting, and they were really, really hoping for a Trump endorsement.  They’d reached out and been given the price, but just didn’t have the campaign funds to make it happen. Their opponent got the Trump endorsement during early voting and won the race, unseating an incumbent.  Did the challenger pay the $400k? I don’t know.  But I BELIEVE that Trump’s people asked the incumbent for that sum, based on my conversation with the incumbent’s family member. 
 

They also confirmed the story about the Rep receiving a handwritten letter from Gregg Abbott advising that if he, (incumbent, whose wife is a school teacher) voted against giving handouts to rich people who send their kids to private schools, aka “school choice,” they’d make sure that he wasn’t re-elected.  Hence the well-funded challenger who could afford Trump’s endorsement. 
 

Fun fact… the challenger (now state Rep) that supported stripping money from public schools to subsidize wealthy kids going to private schools? She’s was the president of her local school board at the time, voting against the interest of the school of which she was the board trustee.  You’ve got to do what you’ve got to do if you want to make it to the top, I guess. 

She oughtta be ashamed, but alas, Trumpers know no shame.

Politicians know no shame… the Trumpers don’t have a lock on this one, lol. 
 

I still have a hard time coming to grips with the hypocrisy. It’s the “Democrat Shutdown” today, and the Rs can’t believe that the Ds would hold the country hostage. The Rs do it, too… but then it’s okay.
