Cornhole is the second-most powerful Republican in Senate eh?

Right after Ted Cruz, then....

Haha. Good point. Cruz controls a good 25 House Republicans, and probably another 30 in the petrified forest by default. He is the most powerful senator.

From the article:

Stockman told WND, “Rove got on stage and said, ‘John Cornyn is the second-most conservative senator,’ which begs the question, who is first? Who is the most conservative senator? Is it Mike Lee? Is it Rand Paul? Is it Ted Cruz?”

Answering his own question, the congressman continued, “No, in 2010 the National Journal ruled that John McCain was the most conservative member of the Senate. So it puts my opponent in an awkward position, because it means John Cornyn is more liberal than John McCain.”

Seems like a real opening for an opponent here. The poll was taken before the debt ceiling vote. Cornyn might be in a world of hurt.
