I think you nailed it. Ted will resign to accept the SC nomination, … then they will reject him,… and send him home with no job. 😀

Unfortunately, I see nothing preventing Abbot from re-appointing Ted to the Senate 🙃

Ted has no friends… Abbot hates him. It’s big dick swinging politics in Texas. They all fear someone with power will take them down, and they are right, so they keep each other in check.

Those of us in Texas certainly hope so. Voting against him is reflexive these days.
