Mar 7

1) He’s a horrible human being who pushes all the MAGA buttons. He hates—and goes after—gays, mothers, women, non-evangelical Christian’s, immigrants, Democrats and liberals of all stripes. He’s a crook who’s under indictment and who’s great at using time and his position office to protect himself. Trump, of course, loves all that.
2) Texas has 40 electoral votes

The only thing against him as far as Trump is concerned is that he’s strong. Trump doesn’t like having strong people around him. He’s too weak and paranoid for that. (He’s also too dumb to notice that everyone around him is just using him to get power and wealth for themselves. )
