Cornyn is wrong. Cruz flip flopped at one point when he saw an opening to run and people justifying the “non” birther issue.

Let me assure you folks— John Cornyn is no damned good. He is MR. ESTABLISHMENT. He funded the defeat of McDaniel in Mississippi. He was a butt boy on the Iraq fiasco. Don’t be fooled by John Cornyn. He goes.

Well, of course he is.

But having Cruz’ fellow Texas senator say this now is a little shocking.

So much for Cruz being GOPe. Apparently, the GOPe didn’t get the memo.

We already knew this, which is why he never made it out of second place, and after tonight, never made it out of third place.

So nice of Cornyn to wait until months after the fact and clearly long after Cruz imploded before he made this comment.

“Cronyn is a worthless piece of dog sh!t. “

Well, at least we’re in agreement that they are some form of excrement!

This does raise the question: What, exactly, is the reason Cornyn went to Washington? Because it’s not to represent the interests of the people of Texas - he hasn’t done much of anything towards that end other than mouth platitudes. And, of course, get paid.

I would have read a transcript, but I don’t want to listen to an audio.

Cornball doesn’t even bother with the platitudes anymore. I sat out his race in 2014, for all the good it did.

Well, one thing you can say about politicians is that they would know a piece of $hit if they saw one. So, if Cornyn is a POS, he must recognize Cruz as one too.

And now ladies and gents, we will see the scramble to gain favors from the one who will win the nomination- Donald Trump.

Ass kissing, brown nosing C-Suskers.
