A fuller version of the quote is “...I'm sure my experience, that you see novice candidates occasionally stumble on questions. I think he's clarified his position. But I think he's done the right thing...I think he needs to be talking to the voters back in Kentucky, the people who actually will be able to cast a ballot on whether he's elected as the next United States senator or not."
So you take the "stumbling" part of the quote, but neglect to include the part where Cornyn says that Dr. Paul has clarified his position and should be talking to the actual voters. So considerable context that would be more favorable to Paul is lost in your synopsis. Why?
Also, because Cornyn's use of the word "novice" is used mid-sentence, it should be in lower-case if you are going to use quotation marks, not capitalized as you have it. But that part doesn't affect the context; it's just sloppy journalism. After second thought, maybe a media career, perhaps at NBC or the NYT, might be a good fit for you after all.
