Sen. Cornyn when asked by @ChadPergram a short time ago about President Trump's anticipated announcement regarding a TX GOP Senate primary endorsement.
"I think you should ask him."
Cornyn would not answer if he would drop out of the race if Trump doesn't endorse him.

Josh Allen deserves blame. He did not play well.
But the WR problems were not overblown.
Allen was 20/25 for 247 yards & a TD when throwing to his TEs, RBs, & Khalil Shakir.
When targeting the Bills four other WRs he was 5/14 for 36 yards with 1 TD & 2 INT.
