Can you just talk more about what these scandals are, besides-- I think people understand the adultery piece, but how has he turned all of his personal, sort of personal baggage and legal troubles into an asset in this Republican primary?

Yeah, I mean, w- with all due respect to Angela Paxton, I, I mean, the adultery, I think is the least of the issues here.

So Ken Paxton gets into office, or before he gets in, when he's running for attorney general, the first of the sort of scandals breaks, which is that when he was a lawyer...

So state representative is a part-time job in Texas, so back when Ken Paxton was a state representative representing McKinney in the Dallas suburbs, he was also a private lawyer, and he had steered some of his clients toward an investment firm, which turned out to be an investment firm that would be accused of fraud and was not a great place to probably have your money.

At least it wasn't for a few of these people.

And these people, uh, what they said is that they thought Ken Paxton was just doing this out of a kind of professional responsibility.

He was actually working for the firm.

There's a decent overlap, and people always wonder, how is it possible that people whose Christianity is so central to who they are find themselves drawn to candidates like Donald Trump and Ken Paxton? And since you're there in Texas, what do you think?
