There was no serious alternative to Cornyn. Stockman and Stovall may as well have been fictitious characters made up in our own minds for all they were worth. And that should not surprise anyone who had any clue. Anybody thinking that either of those clowns was going to force Cornyn into a runoff was deluding themselves.

The Tea Party is a great idea but it has to get serious or be disregarded. Money, organization, media....and there was little to none of that this go around. I think on Stockman’s part this was largely just a money generating operation. These are politicians after all, never forget that regardless of the letter after their name. Sobriety is needed. Seriously.

And yet Cornyn had to spend millions in media buys to squeak by with barely 9% saving him from a run-off election.

Sobriety may be needed, indeed.

Those intoxicated in other ways often find themselves intoxicated by politics.

Crazy can equal drunk.

Money, organization, media.

Absolutely. Here's why: The Proposition to repeal Obamacare won with 1,253,837 votes for repeal, 94,304 against yet John Cornyn - who voted for cloture so that the funding of ObamaCare could proceed - was resoundingly sent back to the Senate to continue his mendacity. Money, organization, media - and lots of it - are required to break through that wall of ignorance.
