I see a lot of people say they will do this or that. I'm not willing to go that far. Regardless of what he has done, he isn't an Arlen Specter type of republican. He's not Snow or some other RINO. If he was, my decision would be different. But....what I have to ask myself is this: Is he SO bad that if my vote was the difference between a dem getting the seat...and perhaps the GOP failing to get the senate....is he so bad that I could live with that and would be proud?
The answer is an obvious no. He's no Ted Cruz for sure...and I was hoping this primary season would get his mind right. However, I think a lot of the bravado I am reading here would be different if the general election was going to be close...and every vote counted to keep Texas from turning partially blue and possibly not getting the senate.
Is making a statement worth the possibility of this state being purple...and giving the democrats hope? Not on your life.
Now the people of KY have a different question before them. There you could actually change the leadership and it would send a clear message. But again, is it worth not gaining the senate if it appears close. Got to think about these things.

Cornyn is in leadership. It’s his job to reign in the progressive Republicans and keep the GOP on message. That he chooses not to do that should be a terminable offense.
I agree with you.
