There was no viable primary candidate in 2014. If I were a betting man, his comments are a clear indication he will not seek reelection in 2020.
He's going to find out what it's like to be back in the minority, I just don't see any way the Pubbies hold on to the Senate. The off year in 2018 won't be a slam dunk, because TEA Partiers like me have sworn off voting for any Uniparty member.
He didn't get my vote in 2014, he's been a major disappointment to the working stiffs in Texas.
“...He’s going to find out what it’s like to be back in the minority, I just don’t see any way the Pubbies hold on to the Senate.”
It seems that the GOP is hell-bent upon losing gracefully rather than respect the will of their own voting base. They want to abandon the principles of freedom, individual empowerment and equality under the law upon which the Party of Abraham Lincoln was founded in favor of emulating an European “conservative” party: That they could more efficiently manage a social welfare state.
That transformation will fragment the Party and relegate it to Third Party status, leaving the fascist Democrats with the largest plurality — much as was the case in late 1920s Weimar Germany. And we all know what happened after that.
Thanks for the insight.
As a Texan, I wrote to Sen Cornyn to plead with him to bring up a bill passed by the House, held up in the Senate to rescind the windfall elimination on state pensions. I retired with the Teacher Retirement (on support staff wages and not bloated teacher/administrator salaries). However, I worked almost 20 years before going to public education. I EARNED a social security benefit, but I only receive a little less than 2/3 of that because I am on a state pension. Not only did Cornyn NOT sympathize with my poor pittance situation, he chastised me as a citizen about how the nation just can’t afford these increases. He went on about the baby boomers ‘breaking the bank’ since there are so many. He can go straight to hell as far as I am concerned. Were it not for the contributions of the baby boomer generation since the early 60s to now, politicians may not have become so greedy trying to get their hands on that handsome treasure building in SS. He will NEVER receive a vote from me, and I plea with all DFW citizens to treat Cornyn the same.
