FYI, three times as many Republicans had the good sense to vote against it - 28 nays to 10 yeas. Cornyn voted with the RATS (with two exceptions one voted nay and the other abstained). So, yeah, I blame him.

“FYI, three times as many Republicans had the good sense to vote against it - 28 nays to 10 yeas. Cornyn voted with the RATS (with two exceptions one voted nay and the other abstained).”
Yes, I saw that. Personally, I would have preferred that Cornyn join the protesting Republicans [who clearly voted against the bill to protest the hate crimes amendment]. Cornyn should have voted no and made every statement he could about the unscrupulous game playing by the Democrats.
“So, yeah, I blame him.”
That’s where I do not agree so much. Cornyn’s decision was not one in which he was making a clearly wrong choice in representing me. He took a different approach than I would to a decision that had unfavorable consequences either way.
Cornyn is not the problem. If we rank Senators by my conservative preferences, Cornyn would be among the top 25, no doubt. Democrats and a few RINOs are the problem. I like to keep my outrage directed downrange at the primary target.
In other words, by analogy since we are in the post season, don’t can a star pitcher because he walked somebody. Mention it’s a walk, encourage him to do better, but don’t forget about his 2.0 ERA.
