U.S. Sen. John Cornyn acknowledged Friday that at times he has disagreed with President Trump on issues such as budget deficits and debt, tariffs and trade agreements and border security.

But, the senior Republican senator from Texas, who is being challenged by Democrat MJ Hegar, said he chose to work on those disagreements with the president’s staff in private discussions, rather than by publicly voicing his opposition.

NO! Not now, we don’t have that luxury. Too much at stake.

The GOP is changing, guys like Cornyn are on their way out, it still will take a few years, but we’re getting there, the RINOs are slowly, but surely going away.

He kept it private did he? Well then, why do I tell people calling here soliciting donations for him that he sold us out too many times?

My money is going to Gun Owners of America. If he can convince them he’s OK, I’m sure they will give him some.

Until now, apparently.

: HOW WILL VOTING FOR DEMOCRATS STOP THIS SHIT?

When bad Republicans lose, it creates an opening for good Republicans to be nominated to succeed them. When Romney lost, it created an opening for Trump. If the Republican sheeple voters had succeeded in electing Romney in 2012, Trump would not have been the candidate in 2016. In fact , if you had your way, Romney would still be President today, and Paul Ryan his VP would be the GOP candidate to succeed him in this years election

I’m not a sheeple. I don’t vote for dog food just because the Republican Party tries to serve it up to me. I didn’t vote for Aron ET because I wanted to force the party to nominate someone better, and for the same reason there’s no way in h—- In would vote for open-borders Cornyn

[stanne]

I’m tempted. Believe me. Ugh.

[lodi90]

So does his opponent, and he will oppose Trump’s SCOTUS pick. Advantage Cornyn.

SCOTUS matters little if President Trump is unable to control the executive branch due to GOP Senate top cover for Mueller’s Democrats and now FBI coupists.

[Mr. N. Wolfe]

It’s almost as if Ben Sasse and John Cornyn are trying to suppress the vote by publicly bashing the president and his policies so close to an election.

[gov_bean_ counter]

I did the same thing for Shelby in Alabama. Dem turned Pub, but as a Dem ran one of the most vile, disgusting campaigns I have ever seen against a true American hero Jeremiah Denton.

Not if he wins re-election he’s not. That’s why I’d vote for his opponent, to make sure Cornyn is given the hook

[Lurkinanloomin]

We really do have to replace these Bush League Republican globalists with America First Republicans.

[Spktyr]

That’s great when we have a margin. Right now we don’t. Hope you like seeing Chuck Shumer as Senate Majority leader.

Also, getting rid of them in primaries usually works better.

[Spktyr]

By the way, your logic is in part how California was lost to the Democrats.

[JonPreston]

Absolutely. I’ve been done with these Chamber of Commerce traitors for decades.

[rintintin]

Im willing to give the Senate to the Dems for a couple of years in order to get rid of some NeverTrump , open-borders Republicans , and to scare the rest into becoming supporters of MAGA instead of obstructors.

[redheadedshannon]

That makes zero sense. Inundate the primaries like a true conservative & get your guy in that way. Handing a Democrat an election actually counterproductive. Another blow up the system type 🙄

[rintintin]

By the way, your logic is in part how California was lost to the Democrats.“

No, Cornyn logic - his open borders policy - is what lost California to the Dems. He’s going to try to impose it on the rest of the country if re-elected

[Dawgreg]

Let me tell you something Cornrow.....I will, just like last time, leave the slot blank under your name. I hope before I take a dirt bed that you are defeated soundly. You’re an embarrassment to Texas and the Congress!!!

[redheadedshannon]

Totally agree with what you are saying about borders. I just think you have to work in the system to change them in the primaries 🤷🏼

[stanne]

They’re beholden to their masters. They’ll be coming out in the next week They want to keep their gravy train running and stay out of jail the worst of them. The noticeable ones will be from RED states and conservative arenas like Cornyn USAA. The bushes. Watch.
