Somebody really wants Dear Leader’s endorsement in the primary run-off.

CBS Austin reports: Cornyn introduces bill to rename US-287 as ‘Trump Interstate’.

U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, introduced legislation Monday to designate US Highway 287 as a future interstate highway named in honor of President Donald Trump.

The I-47 Future Interstate Act would rename the roughly 1,800-mile corridor, which runs from Port Arthur, Texas, to Choteau, Montana, as Interstate 47, to be known as the “Trump Interstate.” Sen. Cynthia Lummis, R-Wyo., is a co-sponsor of the bill.

More evidence, by the way, of a president affecting primaries to shape the behavior of party adherents.

    It’s a small thing in the scheisssturm, but the Interstate system was set up with a consistent numbering system. North-south routes carry odd numbers from I-5 on the west coast to I-95 on the east coast. US 287 lies between I-25 through Denver and I-35 through Dallas and Minneapolis. Between there’s an existing short I-27 from Lubbock to Amarillo. US 287 meets it at Amarillo, where, if upgraded, it would logically continue north as a continuation of I-27. The Germans at least maintained some sense of ordnung.

    That’s my Senator. All his postings are bragging that he votes 99% of the time in alignment with Trump.

    Not sure how this primary runoff with Paxton will go. Paxton is leading in the polls and he is supported by the most vile, bigoted Texans around. Polymarket has Paxton up 61%-39%.

    @gVOR10:
    None of Route 287 north of Amarillo would ever be built to anything like Interstate standards. Outside of the Colorado Front Range urban corridor from Denver to Fort Collins, the biggest “cities” on that thousand miles are Laramie, WY and Helena, MT which are both under 40,000. Parts of it run through terrain that would be nearly as expensive as the mountain parts of I-70* to build. It runs through both Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks. Significant parts are either concurrent with existing Interstates (I-70, I-80) or closely parallel existing roads (I-25, I-15).

    * I-70 west from Denver is the most expensive non-urban part of the Interstate system per mile. Tunnels. Lanes cantilevered out from canyon walls. It wasn’t finished until the early 1990s.

    Not entirely on topic, but definitely notes of North Korea with great accuracy from Ann Telnaes
