Texas' two Republican Senators disagree on what Republicans should prioritize if the party regains control of Congress.
Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), who is considering a 2016 presidential run and is seen as the conservative voice in Congress, wants Republicans to try to repeal Obamacare and stop President Barack Obama's executive grants of amnesty.
Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who may become Majority Whip if the GOP wins a net of six Senate seats this year, believes Republicans will only win the White House in 2016 if conservative stalwarts like Cruz water down their bold conservatism and compromise. Cornyn recently said "that his party will have to prove it can compromise and govern, or forfeit its chances of winning the White House in 2016."

Compromise or surrender? All I hear from the Cornyn brigade is surrender. No leadership.
Cornyn is wetting himself with glee over Obama’s upcoming executive amnesty. He can barely contain himself.
| John Cornyn claims to be the 2nd most conservative member of the Senate. Yet, as Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee, he hand-selected these "Republican" candidates:
Also, when he had a chance to stop ObamaCare by supporting Ted Cruz' filibuster and hid behind a meaningless vote later. He pulled the same trick on the Senate amnesty bill and again on raising the debt limit. |
I don't vote for liberals that support Reid's liberal agenda with critical cloture votes.

Cornyn is a placeholder for the next Cruz.
I had to hold my nose and vote for this idiot!
As for Me and My family we will vote for Ted Cruz.
I am voting today. I already plan to leave Land Commissioner blank because I refuse to vote for an open-borders candidate like George P Bush. I may leave Senator blank as well. It's one thing to hold one's nose, quite another to gag on the stench. I fear voting for Cornyn may cause me to puke. Then everybody at the polling place will think I've got Ebola symptoms.
Who the hell is this idiot going to compromise with? Harry Reid who has been sticking it up his butt for 6 years?
How the hell is the Nuclear option a compromise idiot,they stuffed the courts with left wing hailed,now what is Cornyn going to do,put the old rules back and let the Democrats have amnesty,share the committee chairmanship,? Why not idiot,you have to be Fair,let them run a few committees,it’s the right thing to do.
Go Cruz,let these
Idiots have it with both barrels

Cruz is this generation’s Reagan. I support him, wholeheartedly and unreservedly. Cornyn only gets my vote in the general election to avoid electing more traitors and giving Harry Reid (traitor extraordinaire) more power.
If Cruz runs for President, it’ll be the first time since 1984 that I have actually voted FOR someone for President.
Agree. I will leave Cornyn row blank. As well as George Pee. No votes for RINOS ever again.
We need to take control of the Senate! This IMO supersedes my desire to vote against Cornyn.
What a choice...huh?
Pale pastels is what lost the Presidency in 2012. We have to draw a very sharp contrast in 2016.
I don ‘t know about you, but I am impatient with those Republicans who after the last election rushed into print saying, “We must broaden the base of our party”–when what they meant was to fuzz up and blur even more the differences between ourselves and our opponents.
It was a feeling that there was not a sufficient difference now between the parties that kept a majority of the voters away from the polls. When have we ever advocated a closed-door policy? Who has ever been barred from participating?

Let us show that we stand for fiscal integrity and sound money and above all for an end to deficit spending, with ultimate retirement of the national debt.- CPAC 1975
What are your/everyone's thoughts on early voting vs waiting till election day? Will it help against potential fraud to wait?
Corny, you have it 100% bass ackwards.
It’s really simple to Senator Cruz “Conservative” is a descriptive word with real meaning, to senator cornyn it’s an obligatory campaign slogan.
