Cornyn is a NoGoodnik.
It took us a while to find “our Cruz”. We had to weather many elections with KayHutch before we were fortunate enough to be blessed with Ted Cruz.
Cornball’s war chest was very powerful and we didn’t have another candidate with an organized and well funded campaign.
I think Cornball got a wake up call, if nothing else.
There was no Cruz in this race. I was hopeful for a runoff, but this one was pretty clear awhile ago. In this process, we win some and lose some and pick our battles. I know a lot texans were hopeful, but no one had the skills or money to take on a high ranking incumbent. I lost faith in Cornyn in 2010 when he supported Crist in the Florida primary with party money. He’s definitely in the tank for Washington moderates. That said, there are worse guys out there and beatable guys this year. We have to narrow our effort and money to the two or three we can unseat, of McConnell, graham, Roberts, Cochran and our friend in Tennessee we need to knock off two to make progress. Three would be huge. We have to observe realistically which ones are possible and pool resources.
Cruz ran in an OPEN seat primary. Big difference.
