Trump told by GOP they won't spend a dime on his candidate: 'You broke it, you bought it'
Donald Trump’s string of big primary wins on Tuesday, where his hand-selected candidates took out some of his biggest critics in the Republican Party, was undercut by his endorsement of controversial Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is now expected to be the nominee in place of incumbent Sen. John Cornyn.
Appearing on MS NOW’s “Morning Joe,” conservative journalist David Drucker of The Dispatch reported on Wednesday morning that Trump’s pick of the scandal-plagued Paxton has the GOP leadership furious and the president has been told in no uncertain terms that Paxton should not expect any party money for his general campaign should he win his primary battle as expected.
“I will say one thing about Texas, because I can't help myself,” he told the MS NOW panel. “As I said last week — I'm just going to be wrong one day — I've been covering Texas for two decades, it's the big red whale, and it's really hard for Democrats to flip; do not expect, don't expect party and party-affiliated organizations to spend a dime there.”
"What they're telling me is that Trump has plenty of money, all of his groups,” he added. “You've got about $350 to $400 million, depending on how you count it. And since he has the money and since, as one Republican insider told me, ‘You broke it, you bought it,’ they're going to say, ‘This is your project. We have more important, more pressing needs in North Carolina and Maine and everywhere else.'"
