A lot of really interesting data in the @SearchlightInst entrance poll of key Senate states, but if you're looking for one data point to explain what happened on Tuesday, this would probably be the one!

The right way to cover Paxton over Cornyn is not calling it a big win for Trump but rather: Trump has enough influence over a small group of primary voters to nominate someone so bad, Republicans could lose the key seat to Senate control, which is a huge loss for Trump, actually!
