Cornyn may have an R after his name, but he is by far the Democrat’s best asset in the Senate, and the worst Senator of all 100, which says a lot. The Republicans would have a majority in the Senate if he hadn’t deliberately tried to tank Senate races. His kind of Republicans are Specter, Chaffee, and Crist. He was head of the NRSC and he worked behind the scenes to make Republicans lose. The fact that Texas allows him to represent him is a terrible black mark on the state. He is infinitely worse than McCain.
Re Cornyn - You are preaching to the choir. I only hope there is someone who decides to run against him that we can all get behind. It is going to take somebody who is able to amass a huge war chest and lots of boots on the ground, someone like an 8 foot tall version of Cruz. Cornyn has built his own empire in D.C. and he will not go down easily.
There were enough candidates in 2012 so that the vote could be split and force Dewhurst into a runoff. Don’t see that happening in 2014. Neither I nor most of the people I know will ever vote for Cornyn again under any circumstances.
