I don't think that you understand politicians. You probably think that they are as hard headed and uncompromising as you appear to be. They aren't anything like you. You couldn't be elected dog catcher in a dog free county. Politicians can turn on a dime and pretend that it was part of their plan all along. If Cornyn sees the tide turning against him, he'll act like the biggest Conservative who ever came down the pike. Even all of that liberal money that he is stuffing in his pockets wont' make a difference. Politicans brains work differently.
Cornyn will continue to support the liberal GOP-E. That's where his money comes from. He will not abandon his principles(free money).

Why would cornball change? His takeaway from this years primary is that he can fool the voters by voting the right way at the wrong time (when his vote doesn’t matter). How is the election results of some state wide office going to play into his behavior calculus when his next election (after the general election which he is not going to lose) is six years off?
Like President H.W. Bush after being in the glow of President Reagan for 8 years?
Do you think he was kicked out of office in 1992 because he was so Reagan like?
