The Texas Senate runoff is the live variable — watch whether Cornyn responds to the CPAC reception by moving right on policy or by leaning into his Senate seniority argument. Cruz’s stated neutrality is unstable; any public lean from him in either direction becomes an instant story. Track whether Paxton’s straw poll momentum translates into endorsements from national conservative groups over the next week, and whether the Iran war — flagged by The American Conservative as a drag on Vance — surfaces as a wedge issue in the Texas race itself.

Cornyn needs to go. It’s really that simple. This is a guy that thought it was a valid selling point to say he would vote for amnesty. He’s the definition of establishment Republican.
