We need a better leader for Texas.
Forget that. How come Cornyn hasn’t been expelled by the GOP? He deliberately tanked the Senate in 2010, so republicans wouldn’t win. He funneled money to 3 candidates who left the GOP. He is a fifth columnist.
His ads claim all of Ted Cruz’ accomplishments! It’s disgusting!
Who is running against Cornholio?
Cornyn’s opponents:
Dwayne Stovall
Chris Mapp
Steve Stockman
Linda Vega
Reid Reasor
Curt Cleaver
Ken Cope
Among other groups, Cornyn is endorsed by Dr. Steve Hotzie who is head of “Conservative Republicans of Texas” located in Houston which seems to have a whole lot of money. Cornyn has been socking away money for several years now and has a huge warchest.
Our family is voting for Stovall in the primary. Early voting starts on February 18. Cornyn’s ads are pretty nasty. He lost his cover when Kay Bailey retired and was replaced by Cruz. Let’s pray we can take him down this time around. He is #2 on the “R” side of the Senate and will not go quietly in the night.
Hope is that the vote can be split so that Cornyn doesn’t get at least 50% and he is either forced into a runoff or he doesn’t finish in the top tier the first time around.
So Stovall is best bet to unseat him? Or Stockman?
Well, Stockman’s taking all the flak from Cornyn, so he must be over the target the most.
I’ll call the head of the Dallas RJC today and see if he can get a Stovall or Stockman endorsement from the RJC.
He hates Cornholio, but I think the RJC proper is pretty RINO and will go with Cornholio.
Stockman is considered by Cornyn and his handlers the most dangerous threat because Stockman is a current U.S. House member, and has a war chest. However, Stockman is more opportunist than rock-ribbed conservative. He talks a good game, but...
Dwayne Stovall is the real deal. Solid TEA Party guy, and not in any way tainted with the poisonous whiff of D.C.
Stockman is running hard, but needs a cash influx. Has been well to the right of Cornyn. He was to the right of KBH, but that’s not saying much, and that’s why she lost the Gov race last time.
Funny thing is, when I clicked on the story, the ad populater dropped in two “Donate to Davis for Gov” ads. As if!
Apparently that’s even happening on Breitbart!
I thought he was a pretty good guy, but when he stabbed Ted in the back, he showed who he really is.
Rest assured corney, I’ll be voting against you.
I don't know if Stockman can pull an upset , and/or force a run-off..but he's gonna do very well, and that will strike the fear of Gawd into the Republicans running in southern state primaries after this race...
McConnell, in Kentucky, May 20th; Cochran, in Miss. June 3rd; Graham in SC, June 19th, and Alexander, in Tenn, August 7th. They're gonna be very nervous..and rightly so..
“...Funny thing is, when I clicked on the story, the ad populater dropped in two Donate to Davis for Gov ads. As if!”
*******************************************************************
When one of these liberal/progressive ads pops in on a conservative website’s page I always click on it on the premise that the liberal/progressive sponsor of the ad is going to have to cough up a couple of pennies (or fractions of a penny) some of which will wend its way to the conservative website.
Any way I can “bleed” progressives or RINOs (no matter how little) I do—such bleeding can add up if enough of us draw some blood.
So Stovall is best bet to unseat him? Or Stockman?”
Really don’t know the answer to that question. There is a concerted effort via the Houston Chronicle and TV adds to discredit Stockman. Cornyn apparently doesn’t consider Stovall a threat. Stockman was a Rep, but not for my district so I don’t know much about who he really is. Perhaps others on FR from Texas can give some insight.
I do know that we won’t vote for Cornyn or anyone other than Stovall or Stockman.
“I thought he was a pretty good guy, but when he stabbed Ted in the back, he showed who he really is.
Rest assured corney, Ill be voting against you.”
Wish Ted would point out who he likes so we conservatives can coalesce behind one.
My guess it would not be Cornyn
I think there are 4. Don’t know beans about any of them, but it’s early. One of the candidates needs to stay on the high road. reps have for too long ripped into each other, damaging each other to the point where the Dem looks good.
They really need to stop that crap.
Anybody the Houston Chronicle targets must be OK.
We need a Steve Stockman money bomb, or something. Anyone know if Stockman’s been endorsed by any of the Tea Party/conservative PAC’s? He definitely needs a quick influx of cash.
