BREAKING: Texas RINO John Cornyn Declares His Candidacy to Succeed Mitch McConnell as GOP Senate Leader
The Gateway Pundit ^ | February 29, 2024 | Cullen Linebargar

Posted on 02/29/2024 2:58:51 PM PST by Macho MAGA Man

Senator John Cornyn (RINO-TX) has officially entered the race to succeed Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (RINO-KY).

As The Gateway Pundit reported yesterday, the 82-year-old McConnell announced he would be stepping down as leader of the Senate GOP in November.

Cornyn, in a statement, explained why he decided to run to succeed McConnell.

“I am asking my Republican colleagues to give me the opportunity to succeed Leader [Mitch] McConnell. I have learned a lot during my time both in and out of Senate leadership. Throughout my time, I’ve built a track record of listening to colleagues and seeking consensus while leading the fight to stop bad policies that are harmful to our nation and the conservative cause.”

Thune/Ernst/Rick Scott/Barrasso are sorting out succession internally.

It won't be Cornyn.

Barrasso couldn't run a goddamn GOP dinner hat raffle!

I would not rule out Rick Scott. Neutral on Ernst, she can be responsive to MAGA, but also overrun by Schuck, and also by the MSM. But unfortunately it will probably be Thune.

You ain’t no Texan, Cornyn. You’ve been in DC too long where money and power means more to you than peoples’ lives, ESPECIALLY Texan lives.

“ unfortunately it will probably be Thune.”

Maybe not. Let’s see what the makeup of the Republican Senators is following the November elections. Could be a whole new ballgame.

A backwards kinda “Wack-a-RINO” game sort of takes shape with these horrible opportunists.

No.

What Corny learned is how to vote with and for Democrats.

We Texans will kick Cornholenyn’s sorry butt to the curb in the 2026 primary.

Geez, isn’t Tent Lott or Bob Dole available!

Why can’t we get someone with a spark of life in them?

I’ve know John since 1997 or so.

He’s human garbage. Rotten to the core.

Any aspirant should publicly answer yes or no to their comments to Constitutionally recognized rights. We know. What those are.

And absolute commitment to the sovereignty of the USA against all international powers trying to replace it, or ursurp it like Climate madness, WHO, refugee invasions, etc.

Lastly, commit to defending the nations families and children from mass chemical, medical, physical, and psychological sterlization plagueing the USA and the world. (Except China, Russia, India, Muslim states, 🤔 hmm)

Braun had enough of the swamp after one term. He’s running for governor in Indiana. Cruz, Rand Paul, Tom Cotten or Kennedy. Not in any particular order. Any one of them would be a good choice.

Cornyn is a jerk. That’s all I can say on this forum. I’ll find him on X and tell him what I think of him.
