Cornyn is in serious trouble if he runs. His polling is as bad as Linda’s

Stockman is the guy who brought Nugent to Obama’s inaugural and has been one of the leading figures in the ‘impeach Obama’ movement. Guy is solid.

Don’t know anything about Stockman...

He was in the forefront of the concealed carry movement when Texas got CCW in 1996. He is not afraid to express politically-incorrect positions, much like Ted Cruz.

Does this mean that if he loses the primary, he’ll also be out of the house?

BTTT.

I think the voters are on to Cornyn talking conservative and voting Big Government. Also stabbing conservatives in the back in the Senate cloakroom and when he chaired the NRSC.

Time to go back to whatever you were doing before you went to the Dist. of Corruption, Mr. Cornyn.

The lawmaker is risking his place in Congress because running for the Senate means he will have to give up his seat
in the House of Representatives.

It is. Stockman isn’t a nobody. He’s one of Texas’ most prominent House members and has deep roots with conservatives nation-wide. This along with the fact that there are two other candidates already running against Cornyn, means we have a good shot of keeping him under 50%. Then it’s run-off time.
