Sen. John Cornyn (R-Texas) on Thursday officially announced a run to replace Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) as Republican leader, setting up what is expected to be a hotly contested race for the top spot in the conference.
“I am asking my Republican colleagues to give me the opportunity to succeed Leader McConnell,” Cornyn said in a statement. “Throughout my time I’ve built a track record of listening to colleagues and seeking consensus, while leading the fight to stop bad policies that are harmful to our nation and the conservative cause.”
Cornyn pointed to his work in leadership as whip and atop the Senate GOP campaign arm, as well as his recent stretch outside of leadership.
The Texas Republican added that the Senate is “broken” and that he could play a “major role” in putting it back together.

I’d like to see Josh Hawley as the GOP leader.
I’d like to see Rand Paul or Mike Lee as Majority Leader but we know what the odds of that are.

He’s totally unacceptable and might be worse than McConnell.
Not just no, but…
Nope.
No, please, no, no, no.
No way. He’s just another McConnell RINO clone.
Josh Hawley or Rand Paul. That’s it.
No to that scumbag RINO. Rand Paul.

Why is Mitch waiting until November ?
...oh, please...!! even here in The Lone Star State, many of us see him as a true RINO....there has just got to be a better person to be a Senator from Texas than this guy....his voting record speaks for itself....
Hopefully Cornyn will just go choke.
