Pathetic. This is what Senator Cornyn thinks of you, Texas.

Booed? They need to add a ‘T’ in the middle of that word and make ‘booted’ instead.

“Hey John,
Apparently you forgot those are your bosses!”

Cornyn was reelected to a 6 year term in 2020. He will be 74 in 2024, when he next faces the voters.

It may be that Cornyn has already decided he is not going to run for reelection. If so the voters are no longer his bosses. He now works for himself, possibly his family, and for anyone who can enhance his personal lifestyle during his remaining years in Washington and during retirement.

There is a long history of Republican senators abandoning conservative principles and becoming “bipartisan”. In North Carolina we’ve seen Richard Burr, retiring this year, vote to convict President Trump during the Senate trial, support the same gun control bill Cornyn has lined up with, and constantly defer to Dem Senator Mark Warner when Burr was chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee. Portman and Blunt, also retiring this year, have also signed onto gun control.

Translation: “Politicians like me expect voters to obey us. Not us to obey the voters.”

He’s giving in to a mob. They’re his people so he doesn’t admit they’re a mob. But they are.

Example #1,000,000 of how GOP elected officials hate the people who vote for them.

Simple, because people, like here on FR, say to vote for him and others like him because they they have an (R) after their name, even if they actually are Democrats by action.

I have always disagreed, better to get a Democrat for a cycle instead of repeatedly re-electing bad representatives.

Guess he doesn't remember the 17th Amendment...Senators no longer represent their State Govt. They represent the people of their state. The People. Its never in your best interest to ignore those you represent.

They’re not a mob, you disgusting milquetoast Democrat in Republican clothing. They’re supposed to be your constituents, but it is extremely telling that you see them as a mob, as only a Democrat would. My gawd it was the Texas GOP convention.

Constituents are now considered mobs.
Sounds like Bush senior.

Hear, hear! It’s insanity to keep voting in Democrat RINOs and expect them to act like Republicans.

Those mobs you refer to are actually voters who you should defer to.
