“Don’t mess with Texas” is a homespun aphorism that expresses a genuine sentiment. Texans, and to a slightly lesser degree, Wyomingites, are independent cusses. They’re proud of their states and their beliefs, and pushed too far don’t whine about why government isn’t making things right. They handle it themselves and vote the useless weasels out at the next electoral opportunity.
One such weasel is long-serving Texas Senator John Cornyn. Once thought a reliable Republican, he forgot which state he represents and stepped on a known Texas land mine: gun control. In Texas, weakness on the Second Amendment and cruelty to animals are two things among many guaranteed to provoke political death. Cornyn was thought among the most untouchable politicians in Texas until he went wobbly during the Biden’s Handler’s years and crossed the aisle to pass a 2022 gun control bill, the “Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA).” Cornyn wasn’t the only line crosser, but he crossed a Texas line, which Texans don’t forget or forgive. The Garland DOJ bragged about it in 2024:
June 25 marks the second anniversary of the enactment of the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act (BSCA) – a landmark law focused on reducing and protecting communities from gun violence. The Justice Department has pursued a cross-department approach with the new tools provided in BSCA, from enhanced background checks to grantmaking.
Accordingly, Cornyn is being primaried by Texas AG Ken Paxton, who has been leading Cornyn in the polls. As one might imagine, the media are doing all they can to try to negate Paxton’s lead. Both are Republicans, but they hate Paxton more:
The TSU poll shows Paxton leading Cornyn in a two-person Republican primary race by 5 percentage points. A similar poll conducted by TSU in May found Paxton leading by 9 percentage points.

“Cornyn was thought among the most untouchable politicians in Texas until he went wobbly during the Biden’s Handler’s years and crossed the aisle to pass a 2022 gun control bill, “
Why is it that it’s always Republicans that go wobbly and cross the aisle, and never demonrats??
Cornyn is just an example of what is wrong with Congre$$.
One such weasel is long-serving Texas Senator John Cornyn.
Fail.
We finally found out who the Great Cornholio is!
Don’t live in Texas anymore but over joyed at the prospect of seeing Cornyn gone. What an arrogant ass.
“Why is it that it’s always Republicans that go wobbly and cross the aisle, and never demonrats??”
As Satan’s minions, the Ds offer unlimited wealth and prestige to all newly elected Congressional officials. Some resist because of high moral character, sense of duty, etc. Others see the golden path to wealth and status and elect to board the D gravy train. Inside info on stock trades, taxpayer paid vacations, etc are very alluring. After all who doesn’t want their family to want for nothing.
The biggest problem is that the virtually 100% probability of being re-elected means that a Rep or Senator can build generational wealth while paying only lip service to the constituents. Of course the obvious solution is term limits for all. But that has it’s own problems because if term limits do not include the members of the bureaucracy (all of them down to the basic support staff), power is effectively transferred from Congress to the bureaucrats.
Term limits should be done but there will be huge amounts of wailing and garment rending.
Chucky Schumer in the Senate and Pelosi in the house will cut off funding to your campaign, remove you from desirable committees, and punish your districts funding. They rule with an iron hand.
Whenever leftists start talking about ‘common sense’ or ‘public-private partnership’ you’re fixing to get screwed.

By all of the TV commercials with Pres Trump endorsing Cornyn and the Cornhole cult saying Cornyn has voted for PDJ bills 99% of the time I can only conclude that my gut has been right all along:
Cornyn’s support goes to the highest bidder in the get me reelected game - regardless of party or promise.
Cornyn is a Bushbot, owing most of his political success to the Bush family empire. In the last few years, Cornyn has had to figure things out on his own and, a few times, turned to Traitor McCain for leadership, much like Graham.
I hope he gets primaried.
I’m a lifelong Texan, and seeing Cornyn gone would make my day! I hope Paxton is at least 20 points ahead on election day.
Republicans tell you what they believe and mostly don't mean it.
The phrase “Don’t mess with Texas” originated in the mid or late 1980s. It was the product of a marketing campaign to reduce litter on Texas highways. The marketing company employed by the state of Texas examined all the trash on the highways and concocted a promotion that they thought would speak to the people most responsible for the litter. It was wildly successful and the phrase has endured.
Democrats are in a cult, and cultists don't leave.
We finally have a decent chance to primary this warmonger Cornyn who is a stinkin RINo. Paxton is a conservative.
I gave Paxton 25. Contribute if u wish.
