Isn't this what tricky Lyndon had the legislature do in Texas in 1960?
It backfired on him and it'll backfire on little tinpot dictator Meatball Ron too.
Instead of carrying a colleague to victory in 1960 on his own coattails, his selfish move only strengthened the case for his Republican opponent Tower, who then won the special after Lyndon resigned in 1961.
1960 was to be the last time Dems won the Class 2 Texas seat - a net loss for LBJ's party and for the principles he advocated.
