Sen. John Cornyn Says He Wants to Succeed Mitch McConnell as U.S. Senate GOP Leader
The Texan ^ | 9/22/2021 | Daniel Friend

Posted on 10/01/2021 11:14:00 AM PDT by marcusmaximus

In an interview during the Texas Tribune’s virtual festival, Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) said that should Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) leave his role as the Republican leader in Congress’ upper chamber, Cornyn would want to take his place.

“It’s been my honor to work with Sen. McConnell, who’s been in the Senate a lot longer than I have,” said Cornyn when asked about the possibility of a future majority or minority leader from Texas.

“But should he decide to step down and no longer serve as leader, I’ve made it no secret that I would like to succeed him,” said Cornyn. “If there’s an opportunity to do that, I would like to do that.”

Cornyn said that during his three terms in the Senate so far, he’s “learned a lot” and “developed good relationships” with Republicans and Democrats alike.

“I think that’s based on mutual trust in a place where trust is in short supply. People know me,” said Cornyn.

“Ya, they know you..... you’re MOSTLY RINO! NFW!”

He’s kind of like a locust. He emerges as a conservative once every 6 years.

I think Rand Paul might be a good choice. Definitely not Ted Cruz.

Shouldn’t we just go full-throated RINO and have Murkowski or Romney be Senate Leader?

“People know me”

Yes, we do. And it’s nothing to brag about.

I was really thinking Cornyn should retire and we get a better senator.

.....as a born and raised Texan, I can’t stand the two faced, back stabbing narcissist John Cornyn. I know he’s from Texas and Texas would benefit from having a huckster like Cornyn as Majority Leader but that’s exactly the kind of corruption I’m sick of.

Well yeah, John. People are finding out about how you never fail to stand on the left side of the line.
