I don't exactly trust Republicans, but if I were Texan I'd find it hard not to vote for Paxton after this. I'm worried they are too "purple" though and the media would destroy his chances.
Paxton is undoubtedly the most popular statewide elected official in Texas. Regardless of any personal failings or potential (minor) corruption he has aggressively pursued cases for the benefit of the people of Texas (and by extension on many of those, the US as a whole). I just hope that his political ambitions don't end up with him in a position where he becomes less effective (which almost any "promotion" would do.) He should stay AG forever unless he can get appointed to the Supreme Court or maybe a US Circuit.

I don't trust Republicans either, and it is because the Bush dynasty must be destroyed.
