"TRUMP TRANSITION UPDATE: I'm hearing that Trump wants Ken Paxton as USAG but that Sen John Cornyn is promising to block his confirmation. Cornyn reportedly wants Sen Mike Lee out of the Senate and is pushing him for AG instead. Shouldn't Trump get to pick his own team this time?"

My AG preference list is in order:

1. Ron Desantis (Florida Governor)

2. Ted Cruz (US Senator from Texas)

3. Mike Lee (US Senator from Utah)

4. Mike Davis (Article 3 Project)

5. Kris Kobach (Kansas AG)

6. Andrew Bailey (Missouri AG)

7. Jason Miyares (Virginia AG)

8. Raul Labrador (Idaho AG)

9. Eric Schmitt (US Senator from Missouri)

Mike Lee is leading the Polymarket odds right now: https://polymarket.com/event/who-will-trump-nominate-for-attorney-general?tid=1731213932884

I'd rather Mike Lee stay in the Senate for the same reason Cornyn doesn't.

If true, it's not surprising.

Cornyn has been a problem for a while. It's no question the left has tried harder to oust Cruz. No one remembers Mary Jennings Hegar for a reason.

The country spoke, let Trump do what he thinks is best. Terrible look for the clingers to power, can't let the will of the people carry the day.

With this sort of mandate, cornyn needs to be relegated to the sad corner of irrelevant politicians. No way he should have input on next steps.

Trump should put Cornyn in his place and blast him. Lee has impressed me less over time. I'd rather have Paxton.

If this is true Cornyn needs to be stripped of any positions he's up for.

I know but Cornyn controls the Republican Senate Leadership Fund.

He let $400 million go unspent even though senate races such as Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Arizona were so close and had no resources.

Trump actually won all of those states.

Rogers lost by 0.3%

Hovde lost by 0.9%

Brown lost by 1.3%

Lake lost by 1.5%

If Cornyn/Mitch/Thune were willing to give them some help they might have won.

Republicans could easily have 57 seats right now instead of 53.

Cornyn/Mitch/Thune gave Hogan $30 million in a unwinnable race in Maryland.

Sadly Cornyn/Mitch/Thune are probably going to get to pick the next Senate Majority Leader because they control the Senate Leadership Fund.

I wouldn't put too much stock in this Twitter handle. It often pushes an agenda and I'm not sure it has shown much credibility of sources. Not to mention the OP seems to jump on less than credible stuff on social media at times.

It is payback for Paxton spearheading the SCOTUS lawsuit about the election fraud in 2020.

I think Paxton would be a good pick. He has been as active if not more active than Abbott.

My only hope is that the FBI doesn't have him compromised. I give that a greater than zero chance given his legal troubles.

Someone who is more interested in one of these two more than they are the citizens of the U.S.:

1) Exporting democracy to the entire world: Make The World American!
2) Establishing global coordination between all of the governments in the world led by the generationally rich.

Globalists will support:

1) Marxism under the guise of fighting climate change
2) War
3) Knee-capping the US economy so that we don't kick eveyone else's ass
4) War
5) Lack of national identity, through diluting it with endless immigration from cultures with no desire to integrate
6) War
7) Cultural Marxism under the guise of tribalism
8) Lots and lots of foreign aid
9) Really bad trade deals that gut the American middle class
10) War

A globalist is someone who believes that economic and foreign policy should be planned in an international way, rather than according to what is best for one particular country.

It appears you know it.

ETA: Thanks for the above.

Cool.

So, which Republicans meet this definition?

Ok...So, 1,3,5,7,9 excludes most Republicans. Including Cornyn.

1. I like either Lee of Paxton for Trump's AG

2. F Cornyn

3. Ron needs to continue to anchor Florida for now hard stop

4. F Cornyn

5. I like Ted for AG too, we can find a replacement for him and due to his unlikeable factors the best place for him for conservative is SCOTUS and he would be amazing at it

6. It's really time for Cornyn to sunset, did I say that already?

Bottomline is that this country is now the canvass and conservatives are the artists. Let's finally get this right.

So many great options.

1. Cornyn won't be able to do this unless he is Majority Leader.

2. Either Cornyn or Thune will most likely be Senate Majority Leader.

I think Cornyn wants Trump to nominate Paxton first because it would be a disaster of a confirmation hearing for Paxton. Paxton has been rumored to try to challenge Cornyn in 2026. Paxton taking the fifth or opening himself to perjury charges since he would have to testify under oath. Either Paxton would be confirmed or Cornyn would use his testimony against him in the primary.
