Cornyn and Cruz stick with Trump, deriding Democratic ‘lynch mob’
The Houston Chronicle ^ | September 25, 2019 | Benjamin Wermund

Just hours after the White House released a summary of President Donald Trump's call with the president of Ukraine — in which Trump urged the Ukrainian leader to do him a "favor" — Texas Sen. John Cornyn stood on the floor of the Senate and tore into House Democrats for moving forward with an impeachment inquiry based in part on that call.

Kudos to the Texas senators. They know President Trump will win big in Texas and they want to be on the winning side. The Houston Comical has not been right about anything in two generations.

These two know that R’s in TEXAS are sitting on LAUNCH, if they can’t cough up a modicum of support for POTUS and that their vote beats the cash buy-out by their Wall Street/KOCH Bro’donors.

Anyone from New York City knows that we use the term “Do me a favor” as a common part of speech. It’s a way of softening a request rather than seeming to dictate to the other person.

The Houston Chronicle is a far left paper in the heart of Texas, that occasionally masquerades as non-partisan. (But the Chronicle has the leftist Heart of Darkness at its core.)

"Democratic ‘lynch mob’"

But remember:

The Democrat Party IS The Party of Lynching.

Remember: the Ku Klux Klan? Jim Crow? Segregation? Slavery? Lynching?

Cornyn is up for re-election. Of course he'll pretend to support Trump.

In 2014, he pretended to "push back" against Obama...

Corny has to run in 2020.
So does Linda in SC.
They would lose and they know it if they were to join the impeachment lynch mob.

Thank goodness my senators have common sense...even though Cornyn is wonky at times!

Ping!

Good for both of them and good for America. Cruz can wonk with the wonkiest of them when he wants to.

Yup. Just like clockwork. Cornyn really needs to go.

At first I was surprised to hear this from Cornyn. Then I remembered that he is up for re-election. Time to put on his cowboy hat and adopt his "Big Bad John" personality instead of usual one of "RINO John".
