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.

Useless, arrogant, lazy, jerk that Cornyn is.

[DoodleDawg]

They have to do away with this seniority $*it.

No argument there, but the Senate GOP has too much to lose by dumping the process now. Nobody who can get enough votes to be elected are interested in changing it. And nobody interested in changing it would ever get enough votes.

“People know me.”

Why, yes we do.

That’s why we don’t want you anywhere near that position, Senator McTurtle II

## Dear God, we will never be rid of these globalist political weak-sister whores.

Nope. I have never voted for that RINO. He’s a scumbag liar who knows he couldn’t get elected as a democrat.

Translation: He knows everyone in the Swamp well and is comfortable doing their bidding.

Until we get rid of the 15, we will live under tyranny and corruption.
