Trump's endorsements show you sometimes have to take the good with the bad

President Donald Trump can be foolish and self-destructive at times, but he is also able to move the ball forward in ways Republicans were not for years. Sometimes, you just have to take the good with the bad.

That was most apparent on Tuesday, where two Trump endorsements showcased this dichotomy. First, the bad: In the Texas Senate GOP primary, Trump endorsed state Attorney General Ken Paxton over Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX). Paxton is the worse candidate, the unlikable and politically toxic candidate with the stain of corruption on him. Republicans will still almost certainly win in Texas, but it will cost resources that could be better used in Senate races elsewhere.
