Here's what caught Trump's eye.

.@POTUS brings the QUEEN OF RAP, @NICKIMINAJ, on stage in Michigan: "President Trump, it is an honor to stand with you every single time — and I will continue to support you forever and ever." 👑
Notice how all the good Christians behind the president all clap and cheer and laugh when he makes a remark on a woman's behind at a Michigan rally. Can you imagine how they'd react if Joe Biden said this. #txlege

Trump: I looked at one hell of a beautiful ass before, Nicki Minaj. That's hard to miss. Stand up.
The president of the United States - Donald Trump - continues to talk about people's bodies that he likes. But this time it's a woman. #txlege

Thank you to the Lake Travis Republican Club for having me at your “Celebrating America 250 – Texas Style!” event.
As we celebrate 250 years, this is our chance to secure America’s next 250 for the generations to come. This is our line in the sand. 🇺🇸

This from @longhornderek’s latest report (Texas voting thru Friday) is again one of those things where, if Dems flip Texas, people will think it was obvious all along mcusercontent.com/d3064a2fad…

Cooper's Bar-B-Que in New Braunfels seems here to be ashamed by rally that Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz held there Saturday unbeknownst to the owners. Sounds like some employee there could be looking for work for allowing this to happen. #txlege

It’s time to send James Talarico to the U.S. Senate and Kristian Carranza to the Texas House of Representatives!

Cooper’s Old Time Pit BBQ in New Braunfels, which hosted Ken Paxton and Ted Cruz for a GOTV event Saturday, says:
“We are not in the business of endorsing political candidates. This is the action of a rogue employee and was not authorized by ownership.”

"You need to get off the bench and get out and vote," says @DanPatrick about his message to Texas Republicans who haven't voted yet. He predicts Republicans will surpass Democrats in turnout early next week or midweek. @cbs11jack Eye On Politics: cbsloc.al/4kcGdNw

"Jon Rosenthal is the right choice for Texas Railroad Commissioner. Jon has the experience, proven leadership, and focus on what matters most to our state - smart regulation and policy in partnership with Texans and industry leaders. The Texas Railroad Commission is not a place for culture wars and bigotry - it’s the foundation of the Texas economy, and we cannot afford to hand it to the wrong leader. Vote for Jon Rosenthal." - @MayorMattie, Mayor of Fort Worth

.@JamesTalarico: Every man at some point in his life is going to lose a battle — but what makes him a man is that in the midst of that battle, he doesn’t lose himself.
This is the last play of the last drive. This is the moment we leave it all on the field.
We are the underdogs. It’s David versus Goliath. It’s the powers that be versus the powers that ought to be, and it’s time for us to start flipping over some tables. Because, as every Texan knows: clear eyes, full hearts, can’t lose.

Yesterday, I got to meet and talk with @iamthelmalouise. Yes, there was a mistaken identity, but @KenPaxtonTX met her on the bus, talked with her and apologized for what happened. I just have to say, I love her, and now I have a new friend for life. She's amazing and we just had a wonderful event.

Elon Musk has given Greg Abbott $500K in campaign cash.
Musk's companies have received $1.6 billion in tax incentives and $30 million in grants funded by Texas taxpayers.
Texans deserve to know what else he's gotten in return.

U.S. Senate candidate @jamestalarico (D-TX) on Elon Musk involvement in Texas senate race: "If you've gotten lies in your mailbox, that was Elon. If you've received a text message, saying scary things about me with scary black and white photos, that was Elon too."
