I am not a Texan. I suppose, as people often like to point out, I am also not a “true” MAGA either despite a voting record that would say otherwise.
From afar? I can completely see and agree with the problem on the 2022 BSCA. As a strong 2A supporter - I stinkeye any crimping of the basic right to bear arms, including tangled webs intended to undermine it.
So I get it. But - people *do* realize the basic bill in question was 99% a Rubio baby right? And people *do* realize that however much you might love DJT, he gets a C- — at absolute best - on 2A issues. He’s never been a friend of the second amendment and indeed, I could name multiple *worse* actions from both DJT administrations without thinking too hard.
So, I’m being sincere. Not trying to a pick fight. What makes John Cornyn so awful?
If it’s just because he doesn’t rant and rave like a podcaster? OK. I disagree, but if people want a bellower, fine. I don’t, but I get that.
Is it just because he’s old and been in DC forever? OK, I get that too. *THAT* I’m more sympathetic towards.
But I just do not get the ‘RINO’ complaints.
The biggest apostasy I see is his squishiness on the right of citizens to bear arms, without EITHER mommy or daddy government inserting a lot of hoops and hurdles. But I’ll reiterate - if that’s your big thing? Lots of MAGA - including DJT himself - needs to be tossed aside.
Old? Well... He’s younger than DJT.
Time in DC? Sympathetic, but it’s also 2026, not 2016 anymore.
I just don’t get it.
Zot.
