"John Cornyn has been a trusted adviser and a loyal supporter of my father. ... My father told me that this race in Texas is critical.

"My father, President Donald Trump, is taking a stand on our southern border, on lowering taxes for the middle-class, and on putting America first on the global stage.

I hope we give John Cornyn a real fight this time, hard enough to cost him his Senate seat.

Best part was they included a postage-paid envelope which I promptly dropped in the mail (empty).
